With the advent of the EA games the SIMS, there was also an arcade version of this game created. The SIMS is a virtual reality game in which single players buy a plot of land that either has a house or the player can build a house. A virtual family can be placed in the house.

It will then be the player’s job to take care of their simulated family. This might seem easy, but each SIM will have personality traits just like a regular human being. Therefore, your SIMS will get hungry, tired, bored and lazy. Just like the people in our real lives.

The arcade game of the SIMS is quite basic. There are only a few characters to choose from. There is a male and a female that is pre-created for the game. There is also no option to chance the décor of the house in the arcade version.

The Need Bar for the game is similar to the regular game. The needs of the SIMS must be satisfied. The needs are Hunger, Bladder, Hygiene, Social and Fun. For your SIM needs fun, this can be satisfied by having them watch television, whereas the bladder need is achieved by letting your SIM go to the bathroom. The SIMS can also use things around the home to gain skills. For example, cooking gives them a cooking skill point.

The arcade version of the SIMS might not have the detailed graphics of the original game, but it is possible to still spend house enjoying it.
