MySims: Difference between revisions

''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.

 

 

Despite the stylistic differences between the two games, ''MySims'' seems to take place in the same universe as ''The Sims''. [[w:c:mysims:Elmira Clamp|Elmira Clamp]], a character introduced in ''MySims'', explains her strict upbringing of her nephew [[w:c:mysims:Ian Arneson|Ian Arneson]] on the fact that she herself was brought up by a strict woman named Auntie Crumplebottom, almost certainly an allusion to the character [[Mrs. CrumpleBottom]] who appears in ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]''. [[w:c:mysims:Alexa Lexington|Alexa Lexington]], another ''MySims'' character, mentions that she is a graduate of [[Sim State University]], a location from ''[[The Sims 2: University]]''.

*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 [[w:c:mysims:Morcubus|Morcubus]], the main antagonist of the ''MySims'' series. His appearance is the same as in the ''MySims'' sequels (a stylized anime character, but with black hair, as opposed to the red hair he wore in the first ''MySims'' game).

*The [[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]] ([[w:c:mysims:Summer|Summer]]), [[Travis Scott]] ([[w:c:mysims:Travis|Travis]]), and [[Liberty Lee]] ([[w:c:mysims: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 [[w:c:mysims:Essences|Essences]], one of the key game mechanics in several of the ''MySims'' games.
