Gamers rejoice! The Sims 4: Adventure Awaits has been released today. The Sims video games let players create and control virtual people and manage their daily lives. The franchise, first released in 2000, has sold nearly 200 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling video game series of all time. Adventure Awaits is the latest expansion for the fourth iteration of the game - and this time it has a little bit of Kiwi flavour. A New Zealand gamer was even involved in building part of it. She talks to Mark Leishman.
