The Sims 4 should not be a game that makes my blood pressure spike. Decorating houses and making my Sims practice the guitar for hours is a meditative exercise in wish fulfillment. My own house is cluttered, yes, but not in the whimsically intentional way that amazing Sims builds are. And at this rate, let's be honest, my real life guitar skills will never be a 10. In The Sims, everything is exactly the way I want it to be. Except when my quirky pastel blue kitchen counters don't match the quirky pastel blue kitchen cabinets.
I experienced this deep betrayal once again this weekend when I decided to build a penthouse flat in the new Sims 4 Lovestruck expansion. Filled with modern art deco inspiration, I envisioned a floor plan with soaring ceilings and a minimalist, open kitchen concept. What better way to add whimsy than a set of brightly-colored countertops?
