The Sims Medieval is a stand-alone game in The Sims series. The Sims Medieval was released March 22nd, 2011. The game runs on The Sims 3 engine and is a spin-off similar to the way in which The Sims Stories games were a spin-off of The Sims 2.[2] However, there are notable differences; The Sims Medieval is not simply The Sims 3 translated to a medieval setting.

The Sims Medieval offers a new way for players to experience The Sims which we hope fans will enjoy, and it features gameplay that fans of strategy and role-playing games will find appealing such as controlling an entire kingdom and quest-based gameplay mechanics.[3]

Gameplay

The storyline of the game is to build a successful kingdom, by fulfilling the player's Sim's 'Kingdom Ambition', which the player chooses at the start of the game. Once an ambition has been completed, the play will unlock new ambitions for future playthroughs as well as unlocking freeplay for that specific kingdom. A player can play their Sim as a knight, monarch, scribe, priest, aristocrat, physician, and many more jobs await. When the player accepts a quest (which are required to fulfill the kingdom ambition), they will choose which hero Sim they want to use. When the hero Sims do the quests they will level up, imbuing this game with an RPG-style feel.

Players' Sims have various jobs, and each job has its own duties that they have to fulfill daily. Otherwise they will be fired from the job. Sims can not only be fired but also humiliated by other Sims throwing tomatoes or eggs at them. Other than that a Sim will have to pay a fine, or even enter in the "Pit of Judgment" for execution.

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 (much like in games such as Harvest Moon or Fable III). Aging is mostly the same as The Sims; babies grow into children, but children don't grow any older. 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. The player spends most of the time controlling Hero Sims. For example the first Quest to play is with the Monarch.
