'''''MySims'''
''MySims'' is similar to the games in the original ''The Sims'' series, but many things have been changed. The inhabitants are now blocky, anime-style figures, instead of [[Sim|realistic humans]], but still speak [[Simlish]]. Unlike Sims in ''The Sims'' series, the characters in ''MySims'' don't have any [[Motive|needs]] such as [[Hunger|having to eat]] or [[Energy|sleep]]. Another difference from ''The Sims'' series is the ability to build virtually anything in the game, even furniture and appliances, by using a selection of building blocks, rather than selecting objects from catalogs in [[Buy mode]] and [[Build mode]] and placing them while game time is paused.
In ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'', Sims can buy ''MySims'' as a [[Video game#The Sims 2|video game]].
Despite the stylistic differences between the two games, ''MySims'' seems to take place in the same universe as ''The Sims''. [http://mysims.wikia.com/wiki/Elmira_Clamp Elmira Clamp], a character introduced in ''MySims'', explains her strict upbringing of her nephew [http://mysims.wikia.com/wiki/Ian_Arneson Ian Arneson] on the fact that she herself was brought up by a strict woman named [[Mrs. CrumpleBottom|Auntie Crumplebottom]], evidently an allusion to the character Mrs. CrumpleBottom who appears in ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]''. [http://mysims.wikia.com/wiki/Alexa_Lexington Alexa Lexington] , another ''MySims'' character, mentions that she is a graduate of [[Sim State University]], a location from ''[[The Sims 2: University]]''.
Several characters who debuted in the ''MySims'' series have made appearances in ''The Sims'' games:
*Several sculptures made available in buy mode in ''The Sims 2: FreeTime'' and for [[Witch|witches ]] to create in ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' are of ''MySims'' characters, including [http://mysims.wikia.com/wiki/Roxie_Road Roxie Road] in the former and [http://mysims.wikia.com/wiki/Wendalyn Wendalyn the Witch] in the latter.
*[[Vincent Skullfinder]], a deceased Sim who is buied in the graveyard in [[Sunset Valley]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', is based on the MySims character [http://mysims.wikia.com/wiki/Sir_Vincent_Skullfinder Sir Vincent Skullfinder]. It is unknown if his death is canonical within the ''MySims'' games too.
*With ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'' installed, Sims may tell one another ghost stories as a social interaction, with speech bubbles appearing over their heads to illustrate the story for the player. One of the pictures that appears is of [http://mysims.wikia.com/wiki/Morcubus Morcubus], the main antagonist of the ''MySims'' series. His appearance is the same as in the ''MySims'' sequels (a stylised anime character, but with black hair, as opposed to the red hair he wore in the first ''MySims'' game).
*The [[BFF household|BFF Household]] from [[Willow Creek]] in ''[[The Sims 4]]'' is made up of three characters who are based on characters who appeared in the MySims games: [[Summer Holiday]] ([http://mysims.wikia.com/wiki/Summer Summer]), [[Travis Scott]] ([http://mysims.wikia.com/wiki/Travis Travis]), and [[Liberty Lee]] ([http://mysims.wikia.com/wiki/Liberty Liberty]). The household bio implies a romantic rivalry between best friends Summer and Liberty over Travis, a reference to the characters' storyline in ''MySims Kingdom''. The name of their home, Garden Essence, is a reference to [http://mysims.wikia.com/wiki/Essences Essences], one of the key game mechanics in several of the ''MySims'' games.
