## Resource

We're diving into our very first video game on the podcast —  The Sims ! It all began back in 1989 with  SimCity , and over the years, the franchise evolved into the iconic life-simulation series we know today. But here's the twist: with the rise of mods — some of which take the game into pretty dark territory — we’re asking the big question… Does  The Sims  still hold up the way it used to?
