Line 2: ==The basics== ''The Sims 3'', like previous games in [[The Sims (series)\|''The Sims'' series]], is set in a modern era. While players have always been able to use [[custom content]] to simulate a medieval setting, at least to some degree, the games themselves presume a modern society with refrigerators and stoves, computers and telephones, etc. '''The Sims Medieval''' is a stand-alone game in The Sims series and it is the fifth game (excluding EPs/SPs and collections) released on Windows and Mac OS X. ''The Sims Medieval'' was released March 22, 2011. The game runs on The Sims 3 engine and is a spin-off similar to the way in which ''The Sims Stories'' games were a spin-off of ''The Sims 2''.<sup>[2]</sup> However, there are notable differences; ''The Sims Medieval'' is not simply ''The Sims 3'' translated to a medieval setting ''The Sims Medieval'', as its name implies, is designed to simulate a medieval setting. Therefore, it does not have modern features such as carpools, taxicabs, and telephones that would need to be disguised or worked around. ==Lots and homes== Line 19 ⟶ 21: \|Windows XP SP3 \|- \|2.0  GHz P4 \|2.0  GHz P4 \|- \|1 GB RAM Line 38 ⟶ 40: \|Windows Vista SP1 or Windows 7 \|- \|2.4  GHz P4 \|2.4  GHz P4 \|- \|1.5 GB RAM Line 92 ⟶ 94: ==Motives== In ''The Sims Medieval'', the number of [[motives]] has been reduced to two, Hunger and Energy.<ref name="ea-tsm-faq">[http://support.ea.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4974/~/the-sims-medieval-faq EA Support's FAQ for ''The Sims Medieval'']</ref> Toilets and [[bathtub]]s can still be used to increase focus, but these are optional. ==Jobs== Line 101 ⟶ 103: One notable difference is what happens to Sims who skip work too much, or who have bad job performance. In ''The Sims 3'' and earlier games, that could result in demotion or firing, but nothing worse. In ''The Sims Medieval'', it could result in fines, being put in stocks and pelted with food, or even execution in "The Pit of Judgement". In addition, jobs in ''The Sims 3'' mostly take place in [[rabbit holes]], with the occasional [[opportunity]]. In ''The Sims Medieval'', you must usually complete at least two tasks for your job each day, otherwise you lose a considerable amount of focus. However, you do not need to go anywhere in specific to "work", and you get paid regardless of if you do your job or not. ==Corresponding features, terms and objects==
