The Sims 3 simply has the greatest amount of content on offer large, open-world towns your Sims can explore freely, and if you choose to buy expansion packs, you can get pets, mythological creatures, foreign locations, university, and more! Not to mention that the community has created, and continues to create, a large amount of mods for the game. Out of all the Sims games, your best bet would be playing The Sims 3. Future titles allowed for same-sex marriage, opening wardrobe and hairstyles for everyone, and stating one’s gender identity. Infact, the advertising for Hot Date is considered one of the first LGBT+ positive commercials for a video game. Whilst the game originally had same-sex dating, it was perceived to be a bug, and patched out – but when the developers realised its potential as a feature, they re-introduced it in future patches, starting from the release of the Hot Date expansion two years post-launch. The title is also well known for being LGBT+ friendly. The Sims was a great game to sink a few hours into every now and then, made all the better with a slew of expansion packs. Balancing stats, making money, and forging friendships were challenging, but not impossible tasks. It was a pretty awesome game, with a lot of potential – it had advanced building, allowing players to design elaborate houses, and pretty in-depth simulation, allowing players to take control of members of a family of their own creation and guide them through challenges both real and absurd. What can better represent the idea of ‘life’ than a life sim? The original Sims by Maxis, which helped popularise the life simulation genre, released back in 2001. ![]() Each title I pick will reflect one of the core ideals of the Rainbow Pride Flag – each colour represents something, and I’ll match it with a title that feels best appropriate to me. The only other requirement is that they are good games – Whilst, say, Life is Strange is decent, it is by no means amazing, and Gone Home is more of a walking simulator than a gaming experience. This aspect may be anything from explored themes, romance-able ‘gay options’, or side characters who happen to be gay. So in that spirit, I’m going to suggest some good games with an LGBT+ aspect of some kind. It’s almost the end of Pride Month… Whilst I’m a bit unsure about a ‘special month’ dedicated to people like me, I appreciate the core idea: Wanting to make LGBT+ people visible, and promote general tolerance and acceptance. ![]()
