  • The Sims by EA/Maxis publisher

    In the Sims the player creates a household of one or more characters. A house can be created and decorated and the characters will lead "normal" lifes within the world of the game. They go to work, need to sleep, need social contact, need to use the restrooms and generally do everything one would expect from a "normal life". Gameplay is basically limited to these aspects but the players get many opportunities to express themselves creatively within the gameworld. (Please note that more recent editions of this game have become prohibitingly expensive)

    notesA game that offers little as a source for fanfiction. The game tries to "simulate real life" and thus everything that happens in the game can, usually, be to normal or boring in an actual real life context. As a game its strengths lie in the ability of self expression.
