In europe they have a Detox clinic for gamers that are addicted to games. It sounds like you are just addicted to 1 single game so perhaps you are not in the need for treatment like that. The Sims is a very popular game among a wide range of people. I've played it for a bit but have stopped due to other things in my life that I needed to take care of. The are reasons we play games. Usually escapismm from our real world. You shouldn't trade your real world for a game world though. You have friends and family that want to see you. I would suggest that you try to find out why you like playing the sims. What makes it fun for you and maybe expand on that in a real world setting (Unless its purposely killing Sims!). Perhaps you like watching the interactions of the community in your sim neighborhood. Maybe there is a sociologist or psychologist in you? Maybe you like decorating the home? Look into interior design. Do you like fantasing about the lives of your characters? Write stories or draw characters.
I think many people don't really think about why they like a game. Something got your attention with the Sims. Why is it addictive to you? I suppose ask yourself some questions about you and the game and then see if you can satisfy your craving with real world activities.
Good luck!
Games are fun. Let them be fun. :)

My sim died and I became very depressed and just never played again. I even got a few of the expansion packs, but when he died it was over for me.

Try smoking, that's another addiction. (sarcastic tone) all you have to do is find a new hobby. Try sports or collecting things.

Go to a therapist or throw the game away or trade it in.
