For the uninitiated, a mod is essentially a homebrew addition to an existing video game. Instead, you feed your dog, throw barbecues with your neighbors, and maybe get married to the cute girl or guy across the hall.Īll of that low-stakes freedom has made The Sims ripe for modding. You will not shoot aliens, or level up abilities, or kill the warlord who set you on a quest for vengeance. Unlike other games, there isn’t a clear victory condition or story to follow. You take control of a small family in a modest house and enjoy the thrills of ordinary life.
The Sims is one of the most popular video game franchises of all time. It is Avengers: Endgame, in Macintosh form. A Sim’s eyes glows blue and it calls lightning from the sky. Armageddon, Ahmed Qoqas’ latest mod, warps the docile suburbia of SimNation into an epic struggle of superheroes and supervillains.
