Sim lore: Difference between revisions

Lore is often communicated through flavour texts and (in ''[[The Sims 2]]'') memories rather than through gameplay. The [[adventure]]s introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'' also expand on Sim lore. For example, the flavour text for Eternal Life, a painting introduced for purchase in ''World Adventures'', tells of a painter [[Sim]] named [[Han Shin]] who died shortly after the painting was completed. Another example of lore is that of [[Zebest Quizine]] in ''The Sims 2'', a character in competition with [[Julien Cooke]], but who only exists in Cooke's flavour text. The structure of a world also contributes to the lore, with wealthy Sims families like the [[Landgraab family|Landgraabs]] and [[Alto family|Altos]] living in lovely hill-top manors in Sunset Valley, while Sims like [[Claire Ursine]] live in smaller, cheaper homes with less impressive views.

With subsequent games, the lore of the the Sims series has grown extensively. Beginning with the crudely named [[Neighbourhood]] and [[Neighborhood 2]] in the ''[[The Sims]]'', the lore has expanded to detail minute aspects of characters lives, and introduced many historical characters that do not exist as Sims in game.

[[King Nayr]] and [[Queen Nosylla]] are depicted in a wedding tapistry purchasable in ''World Adventures''.
