'''The Sims''' is a life simulator, a spin-off from the [[SimCity]] series, released in February 4, 2000 for US and February 28, 2000 for EU, which has in turn eclipsed SimCity in popularity since it's release in 2000. The game puts players in control of isometric neighborhoods and people, or "[[Sim|Sims]]". Originally released for the PC, the game has also been ported to the Mac, and versions have been released for several video game systems. The game was developed by Maxis and published by EA Games.
First released on February 4, 2000, the base game has sold more than 15 million copies. The franchise has sold over 100 million units as of 2008. Since its initial release, seven [[Expansion Pack|expansion packs]] and a sequel, [[The Sims 2]] (with own expansion packs), have been released.
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 which individual sims or families call home can be upgraded both in terms of the structure (Build Mode) and the furniture which occupies it ([[Buy Mode]]).
