How have the SIMS influenced the interior design, architecture, and landscaping industries?

Everyone loves video games. Children often begin their early interactions through building blocks, shapes, and puzzles. As they grow old, however, they begin to lose interest as other things such as watching TV, texting friends start to pick their attention. As adults, you may think that you have outgrown video games but when you find the right one, you will find out that you are hooked on it. This is the case with the Sims game. In this game, players get to manage, plan and design a city on a given piece of land. This is not only exciting for normal users, but it can also serve as a great avenue for people who are into architecture, interior design and landscaping.

For these group of professionals, playing the Sims video games can be an educational experience as well as entertainment. They can draw inspiration from the architectural setting and playful circulation of the game and they can also learn and gain experience by simulation. Learning by simulation can be really useful because the user gets to experiment with different design strategies for cities and buildings. This can be achieved normally with a 3D modelling software, but doing it in a game makes it more fun. Playing the Sims Games make tasks more challenging than when practicing ordinarily and the great thing about it is that there are no serious consequences. A structure may collapse or the city abandoned due to improper planning, but then you get to start over as no actual human lives and money would be lost.

Just like with the Sims, the main goal in real life is to satisfy the inhabitants of projects worked on by architects, interior designers, and landscapers. So this game can help prepare you for the real challenges you will most likely encounter in the real world. The Sims game is designed to excite players through creativity and human curiosity. What better way to get creative than play a game that tests your creativity.
