The Sims, the video game that lets you create characters and follow them through all stages of their lives, has itself had its share of evolutions.
This mix looks at its early musical transformation, from The Sims 1's seminal take on new age jazz, bossa nova et cetera to the introduction of an unmistakable futuristic doll house sound of its own in The Sims 2.
Soundtrack credits: All tracks are credited to the game's audio director and main composer: Jerry Martin for The Sims 1 and Mark Mothersbaugh for The Sims 2.
Marc Russo and John R Burr are also credited to the best of my knowledge, on Neighborhood View, Buy Mode and Build Mode tracks. Their contribution is detailed in Alex Robert Ross's Vice article "The Untold Story of 'The Sims,' Your First Favorite Jazz Record".
