He married Alice and not after too long, had their first child Maggie. After the Goth family and some other families moved out from Sunset Valley to Neighborhood 1, Alice and her husband also moved out so they'll still be in touch with their neighbors and also for a change. They bought a lot, and built a small family 2-bedroom house, because at the moment, it was the only thing they can afford. However the house was nice and suitable for a 3-Sims family so nor Philip, his wife, or Maggie actually had a problem living in it. He met some of the neighbors like the Pleasant family and the Newbies, and also became good friends with the Burbs, and after not too long, the Shields fitted in the neighborhood.
His appearance in The Sims is similar to other games, he still wears the iconic outfit consisting of a white shirt, blue tie, blue pants and black shoes. To bring in the cash, Alice and her husband both got careers, Alice working in the Education field and Philip got a job in the Business career track. At the same time, Maggie did well in school and quickly got an A+. After the Shields got enough money, they moved into the huge mansion on 2 Sim Lane and got all the attention from the neighbors and started slowly slowly becoming the talk of the whole neighborhood.
