The Sims 4

In this life simulation game, players control one or more Sims, guiding them through life events similar to real-life. Players must manage Sim hygiene, employment/income, platonic, romantic, and family relationships, and household bills. If players opt to have children or pets, players must care for the physical and emotional needs of both or they risk the authorities taking them away. Players can choose to become chefs or bartenders, which require cooking and mixology. Players may choose traits that result in buffs for exercise and fitness. Players must also manage Sim weight though there are no positive or negative consequences for weight/body shape. If Sim mental and physical needs are not met, Sims suffer from an impact on their mental health, resulting in temporary negative effects.
