I showed my kids Sims 1. Thought it would be a gentle experience, nothing too complicated. Just build a house. But then the kids wanted me to make characters for all of us, so we ended up with a copy of our family in our house.

My character tried to make breakfast for the family, but accidentally started a fire in the oven. Pretty soon he was on fire. Then my wife’s character ran over to put me out, but she caught on fire too and died. My three-year-old started to cry; “My no like this game….”
