Not to be confused with The Sims series. The Sims sometimes referred to as The Sims 1, TS1, or Sims 1 is a single player interactive life simulation game, developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. In the game, players control the day to day lives of virtual people called Sims. 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 is a spin off of the Sim. City series, and was created by Sim. City creator and Maxis co founder Will Wright. 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. PC video game in history, until it was eclipsed by The Sims 2. Overview Edit. Strictly speaking, there is no primary objective to The Sims it is open ended and players are free to decide for themselves what constitutes success or failure. 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. The architecture and the artificial intelligence system have both been praised by players. Players will need to build a well designed house and put in different objects to fulfill the Sims needs. 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. After suffering a fire that burned away all his possessions, Will Wright was forced to find a new home and rebuild his life. 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. Gameplay Edit. In The Sims, there is no primary objective or goal to achieve, and instead of fulfilling objectives, the player is encouraged to make choices and engage fully in an interactive environment. 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. Create A Family Edit. In the beginning, the game offered players pre made characters to control, as well as the option to create more Sims. Creating a Sim consists of creating a family identified by a last name that can hold up to eight members. 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 Sims face, name, or personality once they have been moved onto a lot. However, a player can edit a Sims biography by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the Sims faces thumbnail. BuildingFurnishing A House Edit. Each family, regardless of how many members are in it, starts with a limited amount of cash 2. 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 square and can be diagonal, whereas furniture and Sims take up one or more squares and cannot be diagonal. There are over 1. The player can purchase several objects for Sims such as televisions, showers, beds, and fridges, each of them has a purpose which ranges from fulfilling a certain need or raising a skill or simply being decorative. 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. Controlling Sims Edit. Sims are controlled by instructing them to interact with objects, such as a television set, a dresser, or another Sim. 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. Sims have a certain amount of free will if it is enabled in game, and although the player can instruct them to do something, Sim characters may decide to do something else, or simply ignore the players commands. 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 inner structure of the game is actually an agent based artificial life program. The presentation of the games artificial intelligence is advanced, and the Sims will respond to outside conditions by themselves, although often the players 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.
