The Sims

The Sims is a strategic, life simulation video game series developed by Maxis and later by The Sims Studio. It is one of the most successful video games series of all time.
The games in The Sims series are of a sandbox style in that for the most part the user is free to play as they wish, with no defined goals. The player creates virtual people called "Sims" and places them in houses and helps direct their moods and satisfy their desires. Players can either place their Sims in pre-constructed homes or build them themselves.
