'The Sims' is a strategic life-simulation computer game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. Its development was led by game designer Will Wright, also known for developing SimCity. It is a simulation of the daily activities of one or more virtual persons ("Sims") in a suburban household near SimCity.

The Sims was first released on February 4, 2000. By March 22, 2002, The Sims had sold more than 6.3 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling PC game in history; the game has shipped 16 million copies worldwide as of February 7, 2005. Since its initial release, seven expansion packs and sequels The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 have been released. The Sims has won numerous awards, including GameSpot's "Game of the Year Award" for 2000.

Please check out their YouTube Channel!: www.youtube.com Also, thanks to GoldGuySims and DarkPuppetStudios for helping out me when I had problems rendering! I worked on this video for about 4-5 days, I thought that it would take longer, but it looked like I had plenty of free time on my hands. I made all of her outfits, except the mouse outfit; max2sims2 made that. That is all I have to say; so here I present you, "Paparazzi", my "Epic" Sims music video! Dont forget to SUBSCRIBE, RATE, SHARE, COMMENT! **PS - and yes, that is Britney Spears' "Fantasy" perfume used as poison. I don't mean any offence to any Britney fans, I just used it because it was small, and it was pretty much the only thing I can find. You can download it at Modthesims2.com, just search "Britney Spears" (you must make an account to download it, an account is 100% free, the website doesnt even have a subscription service! :] ) -HONORS- #31 - Most Discussed (Today) - Film & Animation #90 - Most Viewed (Today) - Film & Animation - United Kingdom #52 - Top Favorited (Today) - Film & Animation #50 - Top Rated (Today) - Film & Animation **Note: I USED SERVOS (ROBOTS) BECAUSE THEY WERE AS CLOSE AS I CAN GET FOR MANNEQUINS. ALSO, MAKING MULTIPLE SIMS WILL JUST LAG MY GAME, AND SERVOS DONT AS MUCH.
