Sul Sul! Here Are The Best Gifts For Fans Of The Sims

 The Sims is one of the most popular video games series of all time. Lifelong fans have been playing since the first game was released in 2000, and The Sims 4 (the most recent iteration) reached 30 million players a few months ago. Dedicated Sims aficionados prove that it’s not just a game, but a lifestyle: they maintain blogs on the wacky things currently happening in their Sims world, share player-created content that can be used in the game, post Youtube tutorials on how to build amazing houses, and make #simstagram accounts for their characters. There’s even a reality TV competition show based on The Sims.

If you have a loved one who’s obsessed with the game, the first thing to know is that they’ve definitely created a Sim version of you that’s been subjected to a variety of disturbing situations, or has even met an untimely demise. It’s nothing personal. The second thing to know is that there are plenty of Sims-related gifts you can buy for that special someone in your life.

We’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.
