My belief; Who we are and how powerful God is.
A simulation game, or sim game, (also known as a game of status or mixed game) is a game that contains a mixture of skill, chance, and strategy to simulate an aspect of reality, such as a stock exchange. In computer games simulation games is a wide super-genre covering titles such as MS Flight Simulator, SimCity, Civilization, RollerCoaster Tycoon, and The Sims. Some simulation games are intended to simulate the real world; others are intended to simulate a fictional world; still others (such as games such as The Sims 2) are designed to be able to do both.
"The Sims" takes the simple concept of playing dolls to the ultimate level. Players create characters and assign certain attributes to their avatar (a computer created representation with human characteristics). They then build a house, furnish it, get a job, make acquaintances, pay the bills, learn new skills and, if wanted marry and have children. The strategy of play is much deeper that you glean from this brief description. Though your Sims starts out as an adult, with many of the necessities of life, they are rather like children. You must make sure they eat, go to the restroom, clean up after themselves, get to work on time, learn how to cook etc. Your Sims success and happiness really depends on you. "The Sims" is an addictive mix of role-playing and strategy. While not role-playing in the typical sense, you do create and develop a character. The strategy from the sense of finding out what will make you character grow and flourish.
