The interface is mouse-driven, with points-and-clicks that works in conjunction with a myriad of development tools offered for use in establishing your Sims' environments. Activities include buying and placing up to 150 unique items for households and offices, selling and replacing worn out furnishings, and otherwise building and maintaining the world in which your Sims live. From physical environmental layouts (homes, rooms, paint, tiles, floors, walls, window placement), to mental outlook (personalities, motives, needs), emotional makeup (jealousy, marriage, having kids) and skills (cooking and mechanical abilities, charisma, mental and physical levels of development) of your Sims, you'll be immersed in their daily lives.

Management in The Sims revolves around decision-making.

Five personality traits are rated from zero to ten and include basic areas of sloppy to neat, shy to outgoing, lazy to active, serious to playful, and grouchy to nice. Characters are developed from the ground up and you infuse and mold them with personalities, looks, desires, moods, urges, living arrangements, career and personal choices, life styles, and reactions. You are in control of nearly every aspect of the lives of the individuals who make up your chosen population in the neighborhood. The Sims is a life-building simulation with emphasis on intimate details of individual characters rather than expansion of an entire society or civilization.the music alone was a delight to hear again. If anyone's experienced similar problems, lmk! altho thank you for providing a copy of the sims to begin with. i didn't even get to really test the gameplay aspect! whew. i might ctrl+alt+del and start up the game again, but i don't even want to think about looking for the missing portrait files or trying to mess with the buy-mode pop-ups. I went to save the game and exit, so i could restart the game and see if that hiccup was just a one-off, but now my game's frozen. so i literally had to hover each item i could afford (which means no hope telling what those expensive items are) and guess what the comfort and decorative stats were.

my sims portraits were blank in create-a-sim, and then when i moved the family into the house and started furnishing, the pop up descriptions of the items would blink out AND the portraits of each item was blank.

only hiccup was i had trouble drag+dropping the cracked sims.exe file into my program files, and i had to specifically use the "move to" option at the top of the finder window.Īnyway, the game loaded in ok! but the hud is doing something funky. This installation process worked just fine for me.
