Every so often, I am hit with the intense urge to bulldoze everything in my Sims 4 neighborhood and start over from scratch. I don’t know why I do it, but I love wasting at least one week of my annual vacation razing the earth like some sort of unappeasable Sims 4 deity and rebuilding neighborhoods from the ground up, only to do it all over again the next year.

It’s a habit I’ve had since my earliest days with the series. Those days when I was hardly big enough to sit in front of the family computer, and had to quietly hush my sims for smoochin’ too loud. I’ve been playing The Sims for a long time.

I’m under the impression this isn’t a unique experience. I love listening to other simmers endlessly complain about the chore of starting fresh in The Sims, only to spend hundreds of hours meticulously crafting every home, business, and person, before they tear it all down and start again. But that’s the beauty of the process, isn’t it? How else would you have become the Simly scholar you are today?

That’s what brings me to today’s quiz: How well do you know The Sims series? Are you a life-simming veteran forged in the days of Neighborhood 1, or a more relaxed Sims 4 carpenter who builds a few things before logging off?

For your sake, I hope it’s the latter; for your score’s sake, I hope it’s the former. Either way, give our quiz a go, and let us know how you did! And if you’re craving more ways to test your knowledge of The Sims after this, try our quiz on every Sims expansion.
