8 Video Games SOLVED By MONEY

8. The Sims

The entire appeal of The Sims franchise lies in living a laughably lavish digital life far in excess of any you could maintain in reality, but of course, things still cost money in-game.

But who among us actually did the tough graft and earned all our Simoleans the hard way? It's far more likely you took the digital shortcut and spammed the cheat code "Rosebud" - or, in its original iteration, "Klapaucius" - to generate thousands upon thousands of free Simoleans for yourself in a matter of seconds.

And why the hell not? Again, The Sims is all about living the best life you possibly can - if you want to fill your house with a dozen pianos at great cost, you can and should do that.

Nobody's looking for a keen sense of accomplishment here, just the basic-but-powerful dopamine thrill of acquiring more and more Things with a seemingly never-ending pool of cash.

If you play The Sims the "proper" way its limitations quickly become clear, but with infinite money you can keep amassing Stuff to fill that big, empty void in your heart. Ah, capitalism.
