== Religion ==
[[File:Philosophy.png|right]]Not much is known about religion in SimNation since it is a secular nation. There appears to be no official state religion, and there seems to be an absence of organized religion in ''The Sims'', ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4''. However, churches were present in the original ''SimCity'' and in ''SimCity 2000'', and ''SimCity 4'' includes the option to build Houses of Worship and Cemeteries in the city. And in The Sims 4 Sims can leave a sugar skull offering, showing, along with the description that Sims celebrate the Day Of The Dead. Religion was probably deliberately left open-ended for the player to decide how to envision religious practice in The Sims.<ref>The absence of organized religion may be due to Maxis/Electronic Arts not wanting to favor any particular real-life religion or to offend religious players by depicting Sims following a fictional religion.</ref>
Sims do appear to believe in an afterlife and the supernatural, but not in any religious way. The Grim Reaper appears in ''The Sims'' and its sequels and deceased Sims appear as ghosts. Also, various occult-related items, activities, and, in the case of ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'' an entire sub-neighborhood related to the occult have appeared throughout the series. They also seem to be somewhat aware of the player as they sometimes wave to get the players attention when something's wrong, as if [[Wikipedia:Fourth wall|breaking the fourth wall]].
