Why do orphans play Sims?
Because they can make themselves a family.
Listen here, you're probably the kind of person who thinks a 'sim' is just a short for 'simulation'. But it's not! It's a video game where you make families. Orphans don't have families, so they play this game to create the families they want. It's kinda sad but also funny, right? You wouldn't get it because you have parents, you lucky bastard.
