The game's success can be linked to the freedom it gives players to create their own stories much in the same way traditional dollhouses have inspired people for generations.One of the major new features introduced to the game in Makin’ Magic is the ability for sims to perform magic via spells or charms. As of May 2011, The Sims franchise has sold more than 150 million copies worldwide. The Sims is the second best selling PC game of all time, ranked only behind its sequel, The Sims 2. Spin off games, like The Sims Online and The Sims Medieval, added new gameplay elements to create an entirely different gaming experience. Additionally, a series of expansion packs, or add-ons that provide additional content and features, have been released for each squeal. Since its initial release in 2000, Maxis and Electronic Arts have released several sequels to The Sims, with each one improving upon the previous to provide a richer and more realistic simulation game. Depending on their personalities, Sims can become enemies, meet friends, fall in love, and start families. The core of the game, however, is interaction. How well a Sim does at their job depends on how well their basic needs are met. Additional Simoleons can be earned by sending a Sim to work. Simoleons can be used spent on various wants and needs, such as purchasing, renovating, and decorating homes buying food and paying bills. As in real life, money is a necessary part of a Sim's life. Players begin the game with a budget of approximately 20,000 Simoleons, the game's fictional currency.
Once created, players can then monitor and tend to their Sim's basic needs-Hunger, Social, Fun, Comfort, Hygiene, Bladder, Environment and Energy-in order to keep their Sim alive and happy. Virtually everything about the character can be customized, including the name, personality, skin color, hair color, hair style, and clothing.
Instead the game acts as a virtual dollhouse and players are given the tools to let their imaginations run wild. The Sims is unique from other games in that it does not require players to meet any clearly defined goals or objectives. After finding success with the SimCity, a city-building simulation video game franchise, Wright decided to turn his attention from creating virtual cities to creating virtual life. The idea for the game came from legendary game designer Will Wright. First released in 2000, The Sims is a series of life simulation sandbox games developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts.
