So why not indulge in playing The Sims – a place where you can side-step reality and live out the dream of constant job promotions and an impeccably decorated loft apartment? Whether they expect things to fall into their laps or not, many have only ever known the normality of rented accommodation, zero-hour contracts and the gig economy. Could it be that there is an expectation of a certain Sims-esque lifestyle of palatial mansions filled with pricey furniture and state-of-the-art appliances? A world where no one rents (the game literally doesn’t have this option) and everyone starts out with 20,000 in their bank account by default? Brokest generationĮven if this is not the case, millennials have been dubbed “the brokest generation”. With more than 200 million copies sold during this time, a whole lot of millennials and Gen Z-ers have grown up playing the game. This cheat has been around since The Sims – the best-selling PC game franchise of all time – was first released 20 years ago. Do it enough times and Rosebud becomes meaningless but your Sim is filthy rich and for no effort.
Type it in during cheat mode and it gets you 1,000 Simoleons. Okay, Boomer, it’s actually the most common cheat code in The Sims. A reference to a sled he owned as a child, it represents loss of innocence and the ruthless pursuit of wealth at the expense of family, friendship and love. It’s the last word uttered by newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane in Orson Welles’s iconic film Citizen Kane.
