It isn’t every day that someone gives you an apartment, let alone an entire block of them. I’ll admit, the whole-ass tenement that’s just landed in my lap is run down, disconnected from the mains, and filled with glowing green mushrooms. My new digs also might be located in the sealed off district where they…
What makes a good videogame death? Dramatic timing? Screenshot-worthy spectacle? Or maybe just getting devoured by a monster because having to type ‘AMPLE MINGE’ to attack it induced a helpless giggling fit.

The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies expansion has opened its doors to pretty much any kind of small business venture you can dream up. It’s perfect for my Build Mode brain that loves to spend four hours designing a place and then never playing it. That’s the hard part though: coming up with ideas for…
