Animal Crossing has certain elements I like, but has too much stupid trading and loot whoring for its own good. The Sims is a far better simulation game that allows better and more control over your characters and the town you live in. Making houses in the Sims is an art. Making a house in Animal Crossing is like getting a handjob. Very little customization and control compared to The Sims, which is really more of a sand box more than anything.VIDEO Depth aside, The Sims has more interesting storylines and shit. I like playing as psychotic aspie addled characters who are morally ambiguous, and possibly evil and seeing how they interact with the townspeople. I'd like to see Animal Crossing do this. VIDEO
