[[File:TSM Icon.png|left|60px|link=]]'''''The Sims Medieval''''' is a stand-alone game in [[The Sims
Like other spin-offs, ''The Sims Medieval'' offers new features, such as armed combat and religion.

There's also a notable problem that The Sims Medieval patch 2.0 doesn't work on Windows 8.<ref>[http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Medieval/The-Sims-Medieval-Sims-Medieval-Windows-8/m-p/195628 (The Sims Medieval) Sims Medieval Windows 8]</ref>
==Gameplay==
Line 56 ⟶ 58:
With the quest and the Hero Sim(s) selected, the game unpauses and the player is able to control the chosen Hero Sim(s) during the quest. When the quest is completed, another quest must be selected and another choice of Hero Sim(s) must be made. During quests other non-controlled Sims (even the Heroes created by the player) live in the kingdom, and will continue their life while the quest is going on, like in the story progression feature in ''The Sims 3''.
===[[
A player's main goal is to complete the quest by following the indicated quest-related actions. However, it is also important to excel at the quest so better rewards are given. How the Hero Sim is doing in the quest can be seen in the [[quest performance]] meter.
Line 62 ⟶ 64:
Besides the quest and quest performance, players' Sims have various jobs, and each job has its own duties (called responsibilities) that they will be given to fulfill daily (two per day). Doing so will raise their [[focus]], their in-game [[mood]], which has a major involvement in the way the Sim performs many interactions, as well as in the quest performance itself.
===
Some of the actions in the game, including completing quests, give the Hero Sim experience points. After earning some experience points, the hero will level up. Leveling up unlocks profession crafts or actions, imbuing the game with an RPG-style feel. This system of levelling up is similar to the professions in ''Ambitions''.
Line 68 ⟶ 70:
In addition to completing quests and doing their job, Hero Sims can also marry and raise a family. A Sim's spouse and children are NPCs (although the player can decide to marry two created Hero Sims). Aging is mostly the same as ''[[The Sims]]''; babies grow into children, but children don't grow any older. The one exception is if a Hero Sim dies in the course of a quest, in which case a player can choose to have a child grow up and inherit their role. Hero Sims can put their children to work gathering resources for them.

==Sims==
In '''''The Sims Medieval''''' there are two different types of Sims: Village Sims and Hero Sims. Only Hero Sims are controllable.

Line 206 ⟶ 207:
* This is the first game in The Sims series that allows the player to kill a Sim using an interaction such as Send to Pit and Duel to the Death.
** However, in ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'', Blow Flame and Firecracker Dance can set a Sim/Urb on fire and they will die because of this.
* This is one of the only games in The Sims series that does not have EA pre-made Sims that are playable, with the other being ''[[The Sims 2: Castaway]]''.
* Like ''[[The Sims Stories]]'', ''The Sims Medieval'' does not have a number after "The Sims", despite being part of the [[The Sims 3|3rd generation of ''The Sims'' games]]. (This is not to be confused with the original game, which is also titled ''[[The Sims]]'' or the series name.)
* There are only two [[motives]] in ''The Sims Medieval'' ([[hunger]] and [[energy]]), giving it the fewest motives of any The Sims game. Second is ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'', with five motives: [[hunger]], [[hygiene]], [[bladder]], [[fun]], and [[energy]]. The third is ''The Sims 3'', with six needs: [[hunger]], [[social]], [[bladder]], [[hygiene]], [[energy]], and [[fun]].
* In the US and Canada, ''The Sims Medieval'' adds an additional Content Descriptor "Use of Alcohol"[http://www.ea.com/the-sims-medieval/buy] while in the European Union, the Content Descriptors are the same as ''The Sims 3''.
* The minor scratch moodlet says, "Tis merely a flesh wound, I've had worse", which could possibly be linked to the Black Knight in
