PC Zone UK has written a 3-page feature about The Sims. The feature starts with the initial plans, which were to cancel the game. They also talk about the joy they had during the development, they laughed a lot. For instance when pets started doing 'human' actions like making dinner - floating in the air. The story continues with the history of the expansion packs which were released so far (and another one might be coming up), and the difference in the reviews written in the US and the UK.
