The usual recommendation would be visual novels, but I'm curious . . . have you ever tried turn-based strategy games? You wouldn't have to worry about reflexes or getting lost. (This could cover anything from sims like Civilization to strat-RPGs like Luminous Arc.)

So, if the first game that ever really hooked me was civilization, and I really like the Sims (well 2 and 3 and with mods), would you possibly have any other recs for turn-based strategy games I might like?

Honestly, I'm terrible at Civilization, so I never really dug into the genre. I know it's classified as a "4X" game, so this might be of some use: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FourX

I was just wondering if there was something similar but not exactly the same (like civilization and Sims have similarities but aren't really the same thing). That link wasn't really what I was looking for. (Although that makes a lot of sense if it isn't really what you like). Thanks for responding!

Well, this is REALLY old-school, but if you want something similar to Civ, the same dev made a game called Colonization. I remember liking it despite being terrible at it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meier%27s_Colonization

ayrt

Hmm, strategy tends to fall in the same category as puzzles for me, aka 'does not compute'. Turn-based is a bit better than rts but I tend to tunnel-vision and a lot of them seem to require multitasking/micromanagement? Like, in Roller Coaster Tycoon I could have 2 fabulous rollercoasters and forget all the bathrooms, or in Sims one of them will have a great life and the others will be completely forgotten and need a magical therapist.

I *could* try Civ again, there was a kind of kiddie knock-off version I liked quite a bit when I was younger....
