It’s time to plumbob up and reflect on one of the most iconic life-simulation games of all time! In this special 25th-anniversary episode of Blowing Cartridges, the crew takes a nostalgic (and sometimes chaotic) look back at The Sims—from its humble beginnings in 2000 to the global and enduring phenomenon it is today, sustaining a vibrant and diverse community of content creators and enthusiasts.   Joining us for this Sim-tacular celebration is the Australian content creator, EA Partner and noted Sims 4 Builder Jeyjeybinks! Together, we reminisce about our first Sims memories, the franchise’s lasting impact on gaming culture, and what the current Sims landscape. Plus, we break down the evolution of the series, the most iconic expansion packs (aka Hot Date), and what we hope to see in the future.   So, grab your rosebud cheat codes, watch out for pool ladders, and tune in for another episode of Blowing Cartridges!    Brendan - @Tamazoid Zach - @Eggerino Jeyjeybinks - Jeyjeybinks Linktree   Intro music - '8 Bit Ditty' by FoolBoyMedia Outro - 'Video Game Land' by FoolBoyMedia
