Whether you love the Sims franchise or not, the PC version is $30 (today only). That’s $10 off just about everywhere else. My particular household is in a love/hate relationship with the game. I hate that I get sucked into it and my wife loves to make fun of me for playing it.
A typical conversation usually goes as follows…

Me: He’s going to the bathroom. His bladder was full so I had to make him go.
Wife: This is the dumbest game I’ve ever seen.
So there you have it. Enjoy, but play it when nobody else is home if possible.
