Sims live out their day-to-day lives, while also living out a full [[lifeLife stateStages|life cycle]], stretching from birth to death. The progress of a Sim's life is inexorably tied to the decisions of the player; while Sims may be provided with certain amounts of [[free will|autonomy]], ultimately their lives are under the control of the player. This bond between player and Sim is symbolized by the [[PlumbBob|Plumbob]], which shows the Sim that is currently under the player's active control.

Sims have four limbs: two arms and two legs. It is unclear how intelligent Sims are; although they have the ability to use tools and create works of art and [[SimNation#Technology|technology]], they lack direction and often require a guiding hand, that of the player, to manage some of the simplest of tasks. Sims tend to be [[social]] creatures, and can [[Social Bunny|hallucinate]] if left alone for too long.

While [[Fairy|Fairies]], [[Genie]]s, [[Bigfoot]]s, [[Alien]]s, and [[Mermaid]]s can be categorized as Sims, they are not humans, and are different species on their own. Speculatively, a Genie could be a purple-hued humanoid with the ability to manipulate spacetime, a Bigfoot could be a highly evolved ape on the cusp of sapience, Aliens could be a species that evolved light years away from the human Sims' planet, Fairies  could be mischievous  humanoids  that affect nature.

[[Zombie]]s are either dead Sims who have been partially restored to life, or Sims changed from a transformation. Similarly, [[ghost]]s are the spirits of dead Sims who are visiting from the [[Netherworld]]. [[Mummy|Mummies]] are cursed Sims in a state which can be considered a derivative of Zombieism. [[Servo]]s, [[SimBot]]s,  and [[Plumbot]]s are considered as Artificial Sims.
