Anatomy of Sims: Difference between revisions

Sims are a [[wikipedia:Bipedalism|bipedal]], [[wikipedia:Humanoid|humanoid]] [[Life state|species]],<supref>However, id="cite_ref-0"whether style="border-style:initial;or border-color:initial;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit">[http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Sim#cite_note-0not [1]]Sims are considered a species has never been stated.</supref>, found in [[SimNation]]. Most Sims are omnivores, however [[Vampire|certain Sims]] exhibit [[wikipedia:Hematophagy|hematophagy]] and vegetarianism. Sims have four limbs, two arms and two legs. It is unclear how intelligent Sims are; although they have the ability to use tools and create works of [[SimNation#Technology|technology]], they lack direction and often require a guiding hand, that of the player, to manage some of the simplest of tasks. Sims tend to be [[social]] creatures, and can [[Social Bunny|hallucinate]] if left alone for too long.

Sims' skins are proven to be sensitive to the sun. Sims also seem to have an immune system, as they are able to cure some diseases by simply resting, though some diseases are more serious and can result in [[death]]. Vampirism is a unique life state which acts as a virus, which Sims can easily be cured of. Their blood, [[plasma]], is not too different from human blood, with similar classes such as o-positive. Dominant and recessive genes also exist in Sim DNA. Also, in ''The Sims 3'', if Sims dye their hair, it will affect their [[genetics]].{{confirm}}. Sims' brains seem to allow them to sleep on command, as it take seconds for them to fall asleep, whereas humans normally take at least five minutes to fall asleep.

One of the biggest differences between Sims and humans is the pace of evolution. Where a human could take millions of years to obtain characteristics which would differ from today's humans, Sims could take less than 25 (in-game) years. One of the most notable examples of Sim evolution could be aging. In ''The Sims 3'', a full life cycle is present. However, in ''The Sims'', almost the entire aging cycle was undeveloped, but 25 years later, in ''The Sims 2'', the system is restored. In ''The Sims 3'', [[moodlet]]s, [[trait]]s, [[wish]]es, and their [[lifetime wish]] make up how they live their lives. In ''The Sims'', characteristics of Sims include a Sim's [[Motives|needs]], which affect their [[Moodmood]]; [[Personalitypersonality]], [[Zodiac sign]]s, [[Interestsinterests]], and [[Life_stagesLife stage|Ageage]], which affect the [[Interactioninteraction]]s a Sim can perform; and [[Relationshipsrelationships]], [[Careers|Employmentemployment]], Educationeducation, and [[Skillskill]]s, which determine how well Sims perform certain tasks. Most of the characteristics they had 25 years ago were lost. In ''The Sims 2'', Sims have developed [[Wantswants and Fearsfears]], [[Aspirationaspiration]]s, [[Hobby|Hobbieshobbies]] and turn ons/offs.
