The Sims nearly didn't exist.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun has put up an interview with Will Wright in which he states that it was very likely The Sims would never have seen the light of day. Oh what a wonderful world that would have been.

No seriously, works on the game started a lot earlier than one should expect:

In fact, the Sims almost died at birth. “We had a focus group back in 1993. And it tested very badly,” Will remembers, “No-one liked it at all, and was the worst idea out of the four we presented that night.” Will Wright went over to Sim City 2000 to work on that, and the Sims were forgotten until around 96, where Will managed to secure a small team.
It wasn't until around 1996 when he got a small team together and they continued working on the game, which was then referred to as the toilet game. It was the game where you clean the toilet. But after a meeting with Maxis, it was decided that the game wasn't getting published at all.

the Sims was over… except Will Wright secured the services of a tools programmer who wasn’t doing anything and worked secretly on the game. “No-body was using his tools, and they were thinking of axing him,” says Will, “I trundled him into my Black Box – so to speak – and did a little Skunk-works.”
