[[File:The Sims Icon.png|left|link=]]'''''The Sims''''' (sometimes referred to as ''The Sims 1'', TS1, or Sims 1) is a single-player interactive life simulation game, developed by [[Maxis]] and published by [[Electronic Arts]]. In the game, players control the day-to-day lives of virtual people called "[[Sim]]s". Sims require direction, via mouse inputs, in order to have their needs met and live their lives efficiently. Sims have a degree of [[free will]], but not enough to be considered completely independent (and even this limited free will can be disabled). The residential lot that individual Sims or families call home can be upgraded both in terms of the structure ([[Build Mode]]) and the furniture that occupies it ([[Buy Mode]]).
