Over the last decade, The Sims franchise has become a permanent resident at the top of PC sales charts. Its loyal fanbase and over-the-top NPD numbers have made it one of the best-selling franchises in the history of the gaming industry. With this much success, the hype surrounding the latest Sims installment has reached critical mass for the series' loyal followers.
With that in mind, we decided we had a few questions for the folks at Electronic Arts. Luckily for us, Grant Rodiek, Associate Producer for The Sims 3, was kind enough to take a moment and answer our many inquiries.

I did have Loom but I didn't like it.
I've been replaying a bunch of old adventure games, lately. I had been playing a bunch of text adventures, but those are uninstalled now. At the moment, the oldest thing I have installed is Sierra's Police Quest Collection. When I'm done with that, I'll be moving on to Space Quest, Quest for Glory, and finishing with the best: King's Quest.
