OverviewThe Sims was a popular game, however it was single player only. In The Sims Online, people get to play with other players, having Sims interact with other players' creations. As with the original series, players can select from a wide variety of looks and outfits for their sims, including some more exotic versions not found in the original game (such as robots, bears, etc). There are plenty of activities to do.
CitiesWhen a player creates a sim, that player must also select a city in which that sim will reside during gameplay. There are twelve different cities in total. They are Mount Fuji, Calvin's Creek, Interhogan, East Jerome, Fancey Fields, Test Center, Blazing Falls, Alphaville, Dan's Grove, Jolly Pines, Dragon's Cove, and Betaville. Population sizes fluctuate, but for the most part Alphaville is the largest town with a big city feel, whereas Dan's Grove has a more close-knit small-town feel. Mount Fuji was targeted at the Asian market, but it also has a small contingent of English-speaking citizens as well. Two other cities have special rules, different from the rest of the game. First, Dragon's Cove is known as the one "hardcore city" out of the eleven, as there are a number of harder game objectives to consider when playing here, such as the fact that Sims will lose energy when traveling long distances, and that the value of all objects in this city is double the simoleans that the objects would normally cost when playing in another city. Second, Betaville is a new city that was created for the purpose of testing new features. Two of these features are the ability to create a family of adult sims and the ability to adjust their level of free will.
SkillsSkills are one of the most essential aspects of gameplaying in The Sims Online. They are necessary for getting reasonably high payouts from group and solo money objects, doing well in the offered career tracks, and sometimes for receiving the ability to perform certain interactions with other players, such as special dances, or the ability to serenade others. A player increases skills usually by visiting Skill category properties, as skill can be increased at a faster rate when multiple sims work on the same skill concurrently. These Skill properties, or "Skill Houses" as they are commonly referred to in the game, usually specialize in only one or two skills, as is often mentioned in the property's name. The six core skills in The Sims Online are mechanical, cooking, charisma, body, creativity, and logic skills. Cooking and mechanical skills are increased by reading books off of shelves. Body skill can be worked on by dancing in a cage, using an exercise bench, or stretching on a special exercise ball. Logic skill is increased by playing chess, gazing through a telescope, or doing research on a computer. Charisma is worked on by practicing one's speech in the mirror. Creativity skill can be increased by playing music on a piano or guitar. • [List your site here Free!]
