The Sims: Difference between revisions

After suffering a [[Wikipedia:1991 Oakland firestorm|fire]] that burned away all his possessions, [[Will Wright]] was forced to find a new home and rebuild his life. It was this experience that inspired him to think of a game that simulates life, linking his ideas with the ''[[w:c:simcity:SimCity|SimCity]]'' series he had developed. In 1993, he proposed the idea to [[Maxis]] but they rejected it, believing that computers at the time could not handle such a game. In 1995, he proposed it again to EA Games. This time, it was accepted. EA Games initially named it ''Project X, ''however for a short while it was called ''Dollhouse'' but after realising that it would be hard to market to young males it was renamed to ''The Tactical Domestic Simulator ''and eventually renamed it ''The Sims'' in 1997. Promotions for the game were first seen on the ''[[w:c:simcity:SimCity 3000|SimCity 3000]]'' installation CD. Hi my name is Gilanah Israel
