The principle is the same one but certain details are different, by reports/ratios in Sims on PC. For example, the stages are non-existent on consoles but present on PC. On consoles, there is possibility of multijoueurs, contrary to the PC. Certain objects change, trades or clothing, enter others. Part of the plays on console include a " mode; aventure" , in these plays, there exists a goal contrary to the versions on computer.

A play personnalisable

The play “Sims” makes it possible to manage its Sims - in other words the family or the character of which one occupies oneself - as its real life with regard to furniture, wallpapers, clothes, etc

Hundreds of articles are available to carry out a house of dream. The library of objects provided by defect itself poor is compared with all the specialized sites where one can now find house, wallpaper, grounds, or clothes… in great quantity.

Of course in this play there are codes cheatings so that the sims carry out an easier life: codes to have money without working, codes so that they become the extraterrestrial ones, codes so that they are made a friend moreover…

With each one its pleasure of play

Sims is a play where each one can give itself its own objectives, and to renew the pleasure each time. Certain players like to build superb houses, swimming pools, pieces of furniture of luxury, with Sims rich person and middle-class man. Others take photographs to tell stories on a Blog, to amuse the others, and to be distracted. Others still like to see suffering their sims, torturing them, or take pleasure to kill them! (the more so as there exist many manners…) But certain players prefer to make a small perfect family life, children at the school, father with work, mother with the hearth in a pretty small house, with a modest garden. Or even a life of animated single person, with exits, dredgers plans, full with odd jobs, festivals between friends etc. The manners of play thus are very varied, and each one sees the play with its way: like a realistic distraction, like another facet of the life, as a simple play enter others.
