The Sims: Difference between revisions

After suffering a [[Wikipedia:1991 Oakland firestorm|fire]], which burned away all his possessions, [[Will Wright]] was now forced to find a new home and rebuild his life. At this moment, he thought of a game the simulates life. Linking his ideas with the [[SimCity]] series he has developed. In 1993, he proposed the idea to [[Maxis]], but Maxis denied it, thinking that the computers at that time cannot handle such game. In 1995, he proposed it again to EA Games, this time, he was accepted. EA Games named it [[Project X]]. In 1997, the name changed into The Sims, and thus the game is formed. The Sims promotions were first seen when installing [[SimCity 3000]] CD.
