The games in the series generally lack defined goals, unlike most other video games. The focus of the games is on the simulated lives of virtual people called "[[Sim]]s". The player is responsible for directing their actions, attending to their needs, and helping them attain their desires. Players can play with pre-existing Sims and families, or [[Create a Sim|create their own]]. They can place their Sims in pre-constructed homes or build their houses using the in-game [[build mode|building tools]], then furnish the homes with objects from an [[buy mode|in-game catalog]]. Numerous add-ons and [[expansion pack]]s greatly expand the number of features, tools, and objects available to play with.
