[[File:SIMS3-createasims.jpg|thumb|240px|Some Sims, from''[[The Sims 3]]'']]'''[[Sim]]s''' are simulated people that are a feature of nearly every [[Wikipedia:List_of_Sim_video_games|Sim game]]. They are the central feature of ''[[The Sims (series)|The Sims]]'' video games, in which players control all aspects of the Sims' simulated lives.
'''[[Bonehilda]]''' is an [[NPC]] that was introduced in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', and later returned in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff]]''. She can be summoned from either a special upright [[coffin]]{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}} or by performing a [[Medium|seance]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.
 
She mainly functions as a [[maid]], with the ability to clean a Sim's house free of charge. However, depending on the game, she can also repair broken appliances, do [[laundry]], tend to a [[garden]], socialize, prepare meals, and care for children. As a walking [[skeleton]], any human maids who see her while they are working may freak out and quit their job, and house guests will generally be [[tense]] in her presence. In [[Haunted house residential|haunted houses]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}, she is able to protect the residents by fighting off a vengeful spirit known as [[Temperance]].
Sims as featured in ''The Sims'' series are a [[Wikipedia:Bipedalism|bipedal]] [[Wikipedia:Humanoid|humanoid]] [[Life state|species]]. It is unclear how intelligent Sims are; although they have the ability to use tools and create works of 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 hallucinate if left alone for too long.
 
Bonehilda will occasionally grab a drink from a nearby [[Bar (object)|bar]], [[sink]] or [[refrigerator]] when she has nothing else to do, which will humorously flow right through her and leave a puddle on the floor. She also seems to be a fan of the [[Grim Reaper]], and might stop to ask him for an autograph if he shows up{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}.
Sims can be modified into a variety of [[life state]]s, and can even become a [[Hybrid|blend of two or more life states]], though Sims themselves cannot be 'blended' with other life states. Sims are the default life state for all games in ''The Sims'' series, and are the only state that can be created in [[Create a Sim]] (unless cheating).

Removing her skeletal appearance using cheats or mods results in a Sim that resembles the Grim Reaper{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}}, or a light-skinned woman with long red hair and green eyes{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.
