In the game, players control the day- to- day lives of virtual people called . Sims require direction, via mouse inputs, in order to have their needs met and live their lives efficiently. Sims have a degree of free will, but not enough to be considered completely independent (and even this limited free will can be disabled). The residential lot that individual Sims or families call home can be upgraded both in terms of the structure (Build Mode) and the furniture that occupies it (Buy Mode). The Sims was released on February 4, 2. The success of the initial release led to the creation of a total of seven expansion packs for the game, and ultimately led to the release of other games in the The Sims series, including the sequel titles The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and The Sims 4.
The base game itself has sold more than 1. The game does, however, have plenty of clear secondary objectives, such as career and relationship success, although there are no set rewards for this. The player will need to make his or her Sim successful in many ways. Players must fulfill their need to sleep, eat, and so forth, just like real human beings. They will also need to find a job, be promoted, or even marry other Sims so that one can have a successful family life. Players will need to build a well- designed house and put in different objects to fulfill the Sim's needs.
Article by Daniel Sims. Digital distribution has been good for PC gaming. The convenience, sales, and increased exposure for small developers have made our hobby.
Sims can only interact with the objects in their house. A player can control a maximum of eight Sims at a time; the Sim currently being controlled can be identified by the Plumb.
Bob over its head. It was this experience that inspired him to think of a game that simulates life, linking his ideas with the Sim. City series he had developed. In 1. 99. 3, he proposed the idea to Maxis but they rejected it, believing that computers at the time could not handle such a game.

In 1. 99. 5, he proposed it again to EA Games. This time, it was accepted.
EA Games initially named it Project X, however for a short while it was called Dollhouse but after realizing that it would be hard to market to young males it was renamed to The Tactical Domestic Simulator and eventually renamed it The Sims in 1. Promotions for the game were first seen on the Sim. City 3. 00. 0 installation CD. This has helped the game successfully attract casual gamers. The only real objective of the game is to organize the Sims' time to help them reach personal goals and succeed to the best of their ability.
Creating a Sim consists of creating a . The player can then create Sims by providing the Sim with a first name and optional biography, and choosing the gender (male or female), skin complexion (light, medium, or dark), age (adult or child), a specific head and body (bundled with a specific body type and clothing), and a personality (from among Neat, Outgoing, Active, Playful, and Nice.). The player cannot change a Sim's face, name, or personality once they have been moved onto a lot. Ford 8 8 Diff Cover Installation. However, a player can edit a Sim's biography by holding down the ^ Ctrl key and clicking on the Sim's face's thumbnail. All architectural features and furnishings are dictated by a tile system, in which items must be placed on a square and rotated to face exactly a 9. Walls and fences go on the edge of a .
There are over 1. Each item takes up a number of tiles on the grid and can be rotated to meet the players desires.
All items are pre- rendered. Sims may receive house guests, which are actually based on the game files of other Sims in the neighborhood.
The player cannot control 'visiting' Sims, although it is important for Sims to interact with one another in order to develop a healthy social life and gain popularity. Unlike the simulated environments in games such as Sim. City, Sim. Earth, or Sim. Life, the Sims are not fully autonomous. They are unable to take certain actions without specific commands from the player, such as paying their bills. Thus, if left alone without any player supervision, the Sims will eventually develop overdue bills and their property will be repossessed. The presentation of the game's artificial intelligence is advanced, and the Sims will respond to outside conditions by themselves, although often the player's intervention is necessary to keep them on the right track.
The Sims technically has unlimited replay value, in that there is no way to win the game, and the player can play on indefinitely. It has been described as more like a toy than a game.
In addition, the game includes a very advanced architecture system. The game was originally designed as an architecture simulation alone, with the Sims there only to evaluate the houses, but during development it was decided that the Sims were more interesting than originally anticipated and their initially limited role in the game was developed further.
Also, adult Sims never age (or die of old age), and there is no concept of weekends. For example, adults and children are expected to go to work and attend school, respectively, every day. In particular, adults receive a warning if they miss one day of work, but they are fired if they miss work for two consecutive days. Children can study at home to keep their school grades up, but if their grades drop too far they will be sent to military school and will never be seen again. Sims also have path finding issues such as not being able to walk past chairs, walking on paved or carpeted surfaces even if it means taking the long way, and getting stuck in doorways if another Sim is coming in/out from the opposite direction. These needs are filled by activities in the daily agenda of the Sims such as using the toilet and eating food from a fridge. If the simulated humans do not perform the proper amount of maintenance, they will sicken and die.
Not fulfilling these needs has other negative side effects, for example if a Sim has lowered their energy need they will pass out where they stand which will lower their comfort need, and if they pass out in a swimming pool they will die. Furthermore, Sims need to have fun; if they don't, the fun level bar eventually lowers and they become depressed, but however depressed they become, they are unable to commit suicide (they are not programmed to do so). They are, however, able to be nasty to other Sim characters by insulting them, slapping them, and even attacking them. This has more to do with their relationship score than their mood, though. Sims in a bad mood are more likely to ignore player input and autonomously seek an activity that will increase their mood. For example, if a Sim's fun level bar is too low, they may refuse to look for a job or pay the bills and instead sit and watch TV. Money can be gained by sending the Sims to find jobs and going to work and earning promotions by fulfilling the requited skills and gaining friends, if a Sim has missed work for a day they will receive a warning from their place of employment, if they miss the next day they will be fired.
Additional money can be gained if a child is getting A Grades in school and their relatives will give them . Bills have to be paid occasionally and failure to do so results in the repo- man repossessing some of the household's items. Children will need to study at home and go to school with a good mood in order for their grades to go up; this has advantages because relatives will occasionally call children up and give them . However, if a Sim has F Grades in school for seven consecutive days they will be sent to military school, thus erasing them from the game forever, never bringing them back again. One is that Sims may die: Types of death include starvation, drowning, perishing in a fire, electrocution, and by virus (contracted from a pet guinea pig, which can happen when its cage is left dirty). In this case, the ghost of the deceased Sim may haunt the building where it died. In addition, Sims can leave a household for good and never return: Two adult Sims with a bad relationship may brawl, eventually resulting in one of them moving out of the neighborhood forever; babies can be removed by a social worker if they are neglected, and child Sims can be banished to military school if their school grades remain at an F for several consecutive days.
Although considered states of failure, many players occasionally deliberately mistreat their Sims to observe the reactions and for entertainment. This can be done with no consequences if the game state isn't saved.
The game can be run in both fullscreen and windowed mode, although switching away from the game in the former has been known to freeze the game. The Sims themselves are rendered as high- poly- count 3. D objects, but a house, and all its objects, are pre- rendered, and displayed isometrically. Otherwise, escaping to the desktop will result in glitchy graphics and freezing for all users. There is a solution to this, involving tweaking the game data.
