About The Sims

The Sims is a life simulation game that lets you create and control the everyday lives of virtual people known as Sims. You start by designing characters — choosing their appearance, personality traits, and goals — then place them in a home you build and furnish room by room. From there, everyday life becomes the game: Sims get hungry, tired, and happy; they go to work, make friends, fall in love, and pursue hobbies and careers. Every decision shapes their lives, from which job to take to whether to throw a party or stay home and read. There is no single way to win — you can build a dream mansion, raise a family, or simply manage one Sim's chaotic schedule. With endless customization and a gentle, humorous tone, The Sims has become one of the best-selling series in gaming history, beloved for letting players simply live out another life.
