[[File:W admire history.png|40px|left]] [[File:History.png|right]]
Earliest history mentions dinosaurs roaming the earth 67 million years ago.
According to fossils from [[The Sims 4]] Australosimicus afarensis, or "Pre-Pre-Pre Sim", lived between 3.9 and 2.9 million years ago. During that time sharp little triangle rocks were used by ancient hunters to catch food. Over time people began to plant, farm, and raise livestock. It can be assumed that Australosimicus afarensis lived alongside with dinosaurs, since they used T-rex arms as decorations. Cenozoic era is mentioned to happen
It is also said that 6700 years ago pottery was
Next known Sims were [[SimNatives]]. They inhabited the islands that are now [[Vacation Island]], [[Twikkii Island]], and the islands featured in various versions of ''[[The Sims 2 Castaway (disambiguation)|The Sims 2: Castaway]]''. They are implied to still be around, though perhaps in a distant and unseen area; the tribespeople encountered in ''Castaway'' are presumably SimNatives.

===Middle Ages===
The opening cinematic of ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'' shows a young monarch of the medieval period (c.450-1450AD in real-world history) setting sail to found a new nation on an unfamiliar continent that is already home to a number of small independent kingdoms. This can be interpreted as the creation of the country that would eventually annex its neighbors and become modern-day SimNation, although in gameplay itself this is left up to the imagination. The geography of the medieval kingdom does, however, share some similarities with that shown in installments set in the present day, perhaps adding some credence to the theory that they take place in the same location, albeit several centuries apart.

It is possible that Selvadorada was colonised by Spain.

[[File:Caw leftgraphic ver808032.png|left|40px]]The exact location and extent of SimNation is unknown. However, in many ''Sims'' games, there are mountains, swamps, deserts, and grassy plains, much like the environment in various parts of the United States. Hence, some players would call it Simerica. However, SimNation's official animal is the [[llama]], which is native to the mountains of South America. It is still possible that llamas do not actually live in SimNation, but are used only as a symbol. Despite this, they do appear in ''SimCity 4'', so it is still unknown which is right.
SimNation could be an independent part of North America, possibly around real-life Nevada or California. It is most likely that SimNation is located on Earth, but on an [[alternate universe]]

The idea that SimNation is a representative democracy is further reinforced from the Politisim channel in ''The Sims 4''. Several candidates can be seen giving speeches at a debate. The channel also shows election maps and election results, along with a winner. These graphics are color-coded in a similar fashion to how political parties are typically color-coded.
At time of ''The Sims,'' there seems to be movement for SimNatives semi-autonomy. It is supported by money gained through sale of native wall hangings.
