working, exercising, and interacting with other Sims. They can form
relationships, pursue careers, and experience various life events like
aging, marriage, and having children.

Throughout their lives, they can develop various skills, from cooking to
painting, gardening, or even programming. These skills affect their job
performance and personal life.

adulthood, and old age. Each stage brings new challenges, opportunities, and
experiences, and players must manage their Sims' needs and desires
accordingly.

Sims. Socializing plays a significant role in building their happiness and
success in the game.
