My Sims is a construction game (think virtual Lego’s), in which the Player must build houses, furniture, appliances and other items to help a small town get back on its feet. The game-play mainly revolves around talking to inhabitants in order to receive a new task. Each task comes with a blueprint of the desired item and a list of Essence required to customize the product. Essence must be found, harvested or even fished for. This ads some change from the otherwise construction heavy game-play. Social interaction is limited and the players Sim avatar is virtually “maintenance free” (no need to sleep, eat, shower etc). Players familiar with the Sims franchise will therefore find My Sims to be a much different experience compared to the much more social and difficult PC and console versions.

My Sims features adorable graphics. Unfortunately the game is plagued by very frequent loading interruptions, which ultimately takes away from the joy of the game. The low difficulty will appeal to the casual adult gamer, just as much as it does to kids. We recommend My Sims for player’s ages 7 years and up. Due to the large amount of reading, younger players may need adult help.

Sims veteran or newbie – either way, you should give this game a try.

    Be creative! You never really get the full gratification of making something if you only build inside the blueprint. Think outside of the box, and create something new. You could make an industrial house, or a spooky house. It’s all in the imagination!

    My Sims is stuck on the loading screen and I am afraid to turn it off because I don’t want to lose the game I am currently playing. If I turn it off will it save my game?
    Thanks
