It’s equal parts impressive and terrifying to think that in just two weeks, The Sims series will be celebrating its 25th birthday. The original Sims game graced our computers in all its isometric glory on February 4 in 2000, giving us full reign over the lives of folk in a virtual dollhouse. Four core games,…
