00:00The Sims are celebrating their 25th anniversary, but did you know that their creation was due to pure chance?
00:07Chance
00:10It all started in 1991 when WeWrite, a video game creator famous for SimCity at the time,
00:17It's a game where you had to manage a city,
00:18Well in 1991, he lost his house in a fire, he had to rebuild everything,
00:22and that's when he has a brilliant idea.
00:24He thought, what if we created a game where players could build, decorate and manage the interior of their own home?
00:32At first, no one believed it, but in 2000, The Sims arrived, and it was a worldwide hit.
00:38So how can we explain this phenomenon? It's simple: in the 2000s, it was a real anomaly.

00:46which offers players total freedom, that is to say it is the player who decides everything,
00:52from start to finish, whereas at the time, video games,
00:56It relied heavily on controller dexterity, with missions to complete.
01:00Today, The Sims celebrates its 25th anniversary, with over 200 million games sold worldwide.
01:07and it's not over yet. So be careful, the games are no longer sold now,
01:10because actually, The Sims 4 is now free, and there will never be The Sims 5.
01:15From now on, The Sims 4 is a kind of Fortnite that will be updated regularly,
01:20it is available for free download,
01:22and then, if you go to the checkout, it's to buy the extensions.
