been cashed in on. The gentle farm
life is ideal for a Sims title, with
the focus being on maintaining the
farm and all its inhabitants. So yes,
that means some proper animals

“LET’S BE HONEST HERE,
EVERYONE’S FAVOURITE SIDEACTIVITY IN THE THE SIMS (OR
PRIMARY ACTIVITY, FOR THE
PSYCHOS) IS KILLING THEIR SIM”

for the first time in the series. No
more cats and dogs, we want proper
cows, pigs and Dragons (wait, not
the last one - we’re still fully sold on

the Game of Thrones idea, sorry).
Obviously the only issue could
be the lack of social interaction

outside of a core family, but if that
family contains something like 100
people, who needs anyone else?

DEATH:
Now you probably think we’re
joking about this one, and while
we’re aware that it’s too Daily Mail
friendly for EA to ever actually
pick up, it would make them an
incredible amount of money.
Let’s be honest here, everyone’s
favourite side-activity in the The
Sims (or primary activity, for the
psychos) is killing their Sim in
increasingly imaginative ways. How
about an expansion that caters to
that most primordial of desires?
As well as basic stuff like weird
and not-so-wonderful execution
methods, you could also have an
elaborate ‘accident’ mechanic in
which you create ‘little mistakes’
for your Sims. Like Mouse Trap
with humans, or Home Alone
but with less incomprehensible
survival. You can roll your eyes all
you want, you know you’d buy it.■
