If it hasn't been obvious from some of my other posts, I'm a huge fan of simulation/sim games. 😅 I like the freedom they allow and the fact that I get to use my imagination. Of course not all are created equal, and many encompass other genres (strategy, etc) so the definition of "sim" can be a little fuzzy.

Some of my personal favorites are: The Sims (all of the iterations - I'm a loyal fan haha), House Flipper, Crusader Kings III (not just a sim, but still), Project Zomboid, Farm Together (speaking of farming games), Planet Zoo, RimWorld....to name a few. xD

So what are your favorite sim games? Again, sim + other genres count! 

I'll leave you with a screenshot of one of my sims playing The Sims - "simsception" 😁

Oh no, just look at that monitor and graphics. Also, is that 800x600 resolution? This needs an upgrade. I think I know the perfect corporate partner for AMD's next crossover 😉 .

I used to play a bit of Sims back in the day, I think the last one I played was The Sims 3. It was quite a lot of fun, and started to get really intricate with all of the add-ons and expansion packs. 

However, as for my favourite "simulator" game of all time, it has to be Rollercoaster Tycoon that series was so much fun to spend hours on. I will admit, I hardly played the actual single-player campaign, but just spent hours and hours in the Sandbox mode.

Also, a special shoutout to anyone who played Theme Park

Hahahaha that would be amazing! 😂😍

Rollercoaster Tycoon is a ton of fun! Definitely one of those games where I can just sit there for hours on end playing and not even realize it.

My favorite sim games span various genres, from city-building simulations like SimCity to life simulation games like The Sims series. These games offer immersive experiences where players can create and manage virtual worlds or characters, providing endless opportunities for creativity and strategic thinking. Additionally, simulation games like Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator offer realistic experiences that appeal to enthusiasts of specific industries or activities.

When indulging in my favorite sim games, having a reliable internet connection is essential for accessing online features, downloading updates, and connecting with other players. A globe sim card ensures seamless connectivity, allowing me to dive into my favorite sim worlds without worrying about interruptions or lag. Whether I'm constructing a bustling metropolis or piloting a virtual aircraft, a reliable globe sim card ensures a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.

I'm a flight simmer. Or more accurately, I was back in the day. Still planning on getting back into it, but not right now. Maybe once I get second hip replaced.

Ashley look at me! Nothing better than simulation of scifi war! simulation of dying as a cannon fodder and rebirth again and again. 

The first time you die, your body fights back. You grasp onto life like gripping a rope as the sea envelopes you; you scream with rage, your limbs thrash like a caged Kraken, your lungs roar with deep spasms, your breath labours until the last second, until finally, you shudder into darkness. The second time you die, you feel nothing. Your body accepts the turning as if fading to sleep. You silently embrace the blessed solitude in amongst the chaos of total war.

I have died nearly 10,000 times. I have killed countless thousands more. Most of those I knew have long gone. I have no family, no home to go to. I am nothing more than a shell, an empty vessel through which the hammer of the Terran Republic may smash their enemies and return peace to Auraxis. I am one of the last originals. I am the 100-year soldier.

But what of the others? A few were victims of the failed Terran re-birthing experiments on desolate Searhus. Many more slowly decayed as their twisted minds curled their bodies into mere husks of the warriors they once were. Tortured souls who begged for the temporary respite of death each night rather than face the mounting horrors that plagued their sleep. But not me; I taught myself to stop dreaming. I guess I was born for this war.

The new Microsoft Flight SIM 2024 is pretty great.
