help The Sims FAQ

What was the original goal of The Sims?

The Sims, released by Maxis and Electronic Arts in 2000, lets players manage virtual people in a suburban household. Instead of a fixed mission, the game focuses on needs, relationships, jobs, building, furniture, and player-created stories.

Who created The Sims?

The Sims was created by Will Wright, who was already known for SimCity. Its design turned everyday domestic life into a sandbox, which was unusual for mainstream PC games in 2000.

What happens if you ignore a Sim's needs?

Sims have needs such as hunger, hygiene, bladder, energy, fun, social, and comfort in the original game. If ignored, they can miss work, fail relationships, start fires, or even die from neglect.

How did expansion packs change The Sims?

Expansion packs added major new activities beyond the base house simulation. Early examples included Livin' Large, House Party, Hot Date, Vacation, and Unleashed, each adding objects, locations, social systems, or pets.
