The Sims is a life simulator, a spin-off from the SimCity series 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 "Sims".

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. 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).

Object of the Game

Strictly speaking there is no primary objective to The Sims: It is open-ended and players are free to decide for themselves what constitutes success or failure. The game does however have plenty of clear secondary objectives, such as career and relationship success, although there are no set rewards for this.

Expansion Packs

The Sims spawned 7 Expansion packs(EPs).
