My favorite computer game

When I was a child, I got sick. My grandma decided to buy me The Sims to cheer me up. It was the first installment. That's how I discovered something that would become my second home.

I remember how difficult it was to play The Sims 1. There was no money, sims were always dying, they didn't want to make friends or lovers, but playing was awesome. I could make jam or Frankenstein, buy a coffin with a skeleton-cleaner or a cake with a stripper, get an autograph from a superstar, go to a resort, etc. While I was playing, I completely forgot about pain.

Then the second installment was released. My parents bought me the anthology 18 in 1 at once. Since then it has been my favorite game. Add-ons like "University", "Business", "Nightlife", "Apartments", etc help me to make up a lot of stories. I admire creating towns. I've been working on the town named Profound River for approximately one year. There is a custom system of managing, a custom political system based on clans. I'm not even going to tell about this because it's the topic for another giant esse. I will just say that there are a lot of well-developed public lots. I wish I could walk around this amazing town in real life.

The Sims 3 takes third place in my personal top. I love it for the "Adventures" add-on, ability to register your Sim as self-employed, quests around a town, events, ability to change appearance of furniture and clothes, the journal of custom memories (you can even choose how to perceive them - as bad or good ones), the journal for skills, ability to garden, adding spices into dishes (it changes their characteristics). The list goes on and on.

The Sims 4, from my point of view, is overrated. It's as fake as plastic. It's just a sandbox which you have to supply with "sand" - add-ons. As for me, the fourth installment is no more than just a commercial product whose quality is not a concern for developers, which is a shame. Of course, it has some advantages. The main one is the graphics. Building houses and creating characters are so detailed. It's pleasant to watch. But how boring it is to play...

I have always loved to fantasize, make up stories and characters. I feel comfortable in fictional worlds. The Sims helps me to act out various scenarios. It's the reason why The Sims is still my favorite game.

What game is your favorite? How long have you been playing it?

There was no money and sims were always dying; they didn't want to make friends or lovers, but playing was awesome.

I admire creating towns.


I admireenjoy creating towns. I enjoy creating towns.

admire doesn't make sense here

I admireenjoy creating towns. I enjoy creating towns.

"admire" needs a person or group as the target, rather than an activity. If you want to say you look up to city planners (people who plan out towns in reality) you could say "I admire city planners" or "I admire people who create towns"

I've been working on the town named Profound River for approximately one year.


I've been working on thea town named Profound River for approximately one year. I've been working on a town named Profound River for approximately one year.

I've been working on thea town named Profound River for approximately one year. I've been working on a town named Profound River for approximately one year.

A is more natural than "the" here as it's your first time mentioning this town.

There is a custom system of managing, a custom political system based on clans.


There is a custom system of managing, and a custom political system based on clans. There is a custom system of managing and a custom political system based on clans.

There isI made a custom system of managingement, a custom political system based on clans. I made a custom system of management, a custom political system based on clans.

It's not a natural phenomenon or something the game provided you with, so it's more natural to talk about your role in creating this system.

I'm not even going to tell about this because it's the topic for another giant esse.


I'm not even going to tell about this because it's the topic for another giant esse. I'm not even going to tell about this because it's the topic for another giant esse.

Essay, not esse.

I'm not even going to tell aboutmention this because it's the topic for another giant esseay. I'm not even going to mention this because it's the topic for another giant essay.

I'm not even going to (tell you / talk) about this because it's thea topic for another giant esseay. I'm not even going to (tell you / talk) about this because it's a topic for another giant essay.

"tell" requires a target, like "tell _you_ about this". "talk" does not.

I will just say that there are a lot of well-developed public lots.


I wish I could walk around this amazing town in real life.

"top" is an adjective, it doesn't work as a noun

I love it for the "Adventures" add-on, ability to register your Sim as self-employed, quests around a town, events, ability to change appearance of furniture and clothes, the journal of custom memories (you can even choose how to perceive them - as bad or good ones), the journal for skills, ability to garden, adding spices into dishes (it changes their characteristics).

very long sentence, consider separating into different thoughts.

It's as fake as plastic.


It's as fake as plastic. It's as fake as plastic.

I'm not sure your simile lands - how is plastic fake? And how are any of the other Sims games less fake? You'd need to elaborate what you're describing and probably make a different comparison to help communicate your point.

It's just a sandbox which you have to supply with "sand" - add-ons.

As for me, the fourth installment is no more than just a commercial product whose quality is not a concern for developers, which is a shame.

To me, the fourth installment is no more than just a commercial product whose quality was not a concern for its developers, which is a shame.

Of course, it has some advantages.


Of course, it has some advantaggood qualities. Of course, it has some good qualities.

The main one is the graphics.


The main one is the graphics. The main one is the graphics.

Combine this with the next sentence.

Building houses and creating characters are so detailed.


Building houses and creating characters are so detailed. Building houses and creating characters are so detailed.

The main one is the graphics; building the houses and creating the characters is so detailed.

BuildingThe houses and creating characters are so detailed. The houses and characters are so detailed.

Building houses and creating characters areis so detailed. Building houses and creating characters is so detailed.

"creating characters" is one activity, so is treated as singular grammatically. It's a little confusing because "characters" is plural, but the "is" is applied to the whole activity, not just the target of the activity.

It's the reason why The Sims is still my favorite game.


What game is your favorite?


How long have you been playing it?


It's pleasant to watch.


But how boring it is to play...
