Hi, my boyfriend has decided that he wants a gamer girlfriend, and I was just wondering if there are any computer games that would be recommended for someone who doesn't much like violence etc. but still counts as "gaming". I love the sims, so something with a flexible storyline and some element of creativeness would be nice (maybe something like Sid Meier's Civilization?) Don't just answer about how I wouldn't be a proper gamer if I'm just doing it for my boyfriend; I just want to try it.
I don't want to use any console games (would have to get a console) and I am already an expert in all the Sims :P (Sims doesn't count to my boyfriend unfortunately. I tried Portal but got bored quickly...)
