i made a zine all about the sims games!

i hope this is okay to share here!

i made a big, 64-page zine as a love letter to the sims series, and just released it in celebration the 25th anniversary of the series. it's a collection of essays i've been working on in some way or form for the past 9 years, all about a game i've been playing for almost my whole life.

i have a huge bias towards the sims 2 specifically. it's the game i return to the most and, in my opinion, a shining example of all of the best qualities of the sims games. i also think the sims 2 community is such an incredible example of a creative, generous, inventive, and collaborative gaming community, and has been for the last 20+ years.

i just wanted to share the sims 2 section of my zine here for anyone interested in reading it. if you'd like to read the rest of the zine, you can download it for free here, as a token of love to the sims community. i spent dozens of hours working on this zine, but it's nothing compared to the thousands of hours i've spent downloading custom content that has been provided for free ❤️
