When it was first announced that The Sims would be made into a video game, the general consensus amongst gamers was something along the lines of “worst idea ever”. Well, thanks to Ain’t It Cool News, we now have an idea of what The Sims movie will be.

Hold onto your pants, dudes and dolls:

And Tom Rothman, the Chairman of Fox said to me, “How are you going to take this incredible piece of IP and make it into a movie?” Right? Because most games aren’t movies, so this is the way I did it: The Sims, as you know, you can control your imaginary world, right? And our movie, a young man, a 16 year old kid of a 14 year old kid and his friend get their hands on this thing called the Sims Infinity Pack, right, which kind of this very strange video game store which was there just for that moment, and seemingly wasn’t all that. But what they realize is that they can scan their world in, because this is the most life like, real Sims game ever. And as they are playing this they are all of a sudden realizing is what they are playing on the game is having an effect on the real world. So in effect, through the game, they are able to control their world. It’s wish fulfillment, and obviously it turns against them.

…that sounds like the worst thing you could have ever come up with. I hope somewhere Will Wright is drinking himself into a stupor, because that’s the only way I could ever imagine him sitting there and saying “…sure, that sounds like an awesome fun time”.
