Kotaku – Your Sims Medieval torture update

What’s more exciting about a Sims game set in medieval times than the olde-fashioned opportunities that miserable era affords players for putting virtual human beings in uncomfortable positions?I’m not being ghoulish. Many people play The Sims as virtual torturer or tormentor. They put Sims in door-less rooms and watch them go crazy. They link their Sims in matrimony and then ruin their marriages with a meddling maid. They starve them. They essentially twist the heads on their virtual dolls, then throw them in the microwave on high for 60 seconds.

The Sims Medieval, technically a March-scheduled PC game about creating and furthering a kingdom toward one of several grand ambitions – a game about completing quests, unlocking Sims characters, and improving buildings along the way – is probably going to be another virtual lab for virtual torment.
