Is it still worth playing?

A social simulation game released on 2 June 2009 for Windows, Mac OS and mobile devices, in which you control your Sims' activities and relationships with no set goal. They live in neighborhoods, now called worlds, which can be customized and are seamless, so Sims move around without a loading screen between lots. Those worlds hold community lots, leisure ones such as parks, markets, gyms and cinemas, and job lots such as the town hall, the hospital and businesses. The whole neighborhood keeps living. A Story Progression mechanic moves other Sims' lives along while you play your own. A neighborhood that carries on around your Sims still makes it a good place to settle in today.
