sims is a computer game where u have a family and build or buy a house. u put all tha same stuff in it that u would a normal house. in sum versions u can have pets and even a chemisty set. (*(wahoo...hehe)*) ur kids have to go to school (or do they? see cheats) and they have to study or they make bad grades.DUN DUN DUN... The parents have to go to work so they can make money to support there family. Its just like a normal family.
