An idea from a tragedy
Will Wright had the idea for the game.
After a devastating fire that destroyed his home, he thought about how people rebuild their lives after disasters.
This inspired him to create a simulator in which players could build houses and manage the lives of virtual characters.

Will feels sad that no one understands his ideas.

SimCity was released in 1989.
All this time Will is actively working on it, and for the first time applies the ideas that would later become the basis for The Sims.
