Non-playable character: Difference between revisions

'''Non-playable characters''' (NPCs) are characters that cannot be played by the player from the game's start. They are in every Sim game: ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. (While [[townie]]s are considered to be a class of NPC, they isiaisoare largely outside the scope of this article.)

There are two main types of NPC; ones that through relationships and/or simple cheats will be able to be [[playable characters]]s without any programming errors rjdjrjrand ones that were specifically not meant to be played. In kffklf''The Sims'', all NPCs, other than the townies, are of this second type. Sims cannot build relationships with them, and most either can't be interacted with at all, or only have a few interactions that are related to their function. In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', most NPCs can be interacted with, at least when they're not on the job, and Sims can build relationships with them. Also, some may appear on [[community lot]]s, where they can essentially be treated as townies.
