It is probably something that I miss most about my childhood, I would say.

It was one of the most... The freedom of sitting on that computer for hours with no other responsibility but building a family and a home.

You give birth on The Sims.

It's not going to school and playing The Sims fade out.

It just brings, I don't know, for me there's a lot of joy and nostalgia attached to The Sims.

And the other day...

I think I came across a TikTok or something, but someone said something about the songs and the soundtrack to The Sims games bringing these memories back and, like, nostalgia.

And I had to do some cleaning the other day and I put on The Sims 2 original soundtrack.

It's so rogue.

But it's because The Sims 2 was the game out of all of them that I...

played the most, like for the most hours, the most years.

I started with Sims 1, as many people did.

Moved on to 2.

I hated Sims 3, so I stuck with 2.

I even dabbled in 4, but I still stuck with 2.

Like it was my favourite out of all the Sims versions.

I was playing it in New York when I was living in New York.

When you were an adult.

Yes, when I was an adult.

And so that was the soundtrack that I chose to listen to.
