Generally speaking, the events of ''[[The Sims 3]]'' occur the earliest in the in-universe chronology of the series, followed by the events of ''[[The Sims]]'' and then ''[[The Sims 2]]''. For example, [[Bob Newbie]] and [[Betty Newbie|Betty Simovitch]] appear as teenagers in ''The Sims 3'', are married in ''The Sims'', and have had a child and have died by ''The Sims 2''. However, there are several instances (especially with ''The Sims 3'') where events do not seem to agree with the in-universe chronology. There are several player theories which attempt to resolve these discrepancies, as well as some canonical alternatives, such as time travel in ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. ''[[The Sims 4]]'' does not follow the in-universe chronology of the series, but does have some returning families, making it seem like an alternative universe.

Every one of ''[[The Sims (series)|The Sims]]'' game takes place in [[SimNation]]. In the series, SimNation is shown to be set around the 1990s, 2000s, or possibly even further on. An official interview<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120605015012/http://thesims2.ea.com/community/bella_interview.php</ref> with Bella Goth shows that she was abducted in the summer of 2004, meaning that ''The Sims 2'' is probably set in or after 2004, placing ''The Sims 3'' in 1954 and ''The Sims'' in 1979. It shows modern, real-life technology such as [[Television|TVs]], [[car]]s, and [[computer]]s - but also some futuristic, advanced technology such as [[Servo]]{{Vgversion|TS:LL}}{{Vgversion|TS2:OFB}} and the [[Teleportation Pad]]{{Vgversion|TS3}}. The locations of ''The Sims'' games could be anywhere in the world, or even in a completely different universe altogether.

However, if we were to keep consistent with technology and place ''The Sims 3'' in 2009, then ''The Sims'' would be in 2034 and ''The Sims 2'' in 2059.
