Is THE SIMS an R.P.G.?


It was asked in this video:

It created a small debate in the comments section.

No.

Couldn't get through the video but, no, all the Sim games are simulation games.


Disliking a character is not a sign of moral turpitude.

Nope it's a strategy game

I would consider The Sims series to qualify. When playing The Sims 3, I tend to have one particular character that I am mostly invested in. Sometimes, that character may even be a representation of myself. The characters, who dwell within either a pre-made or custom-built house, can interact with others, along with gaining skills and different positions of many careers, which implies a roleplaying game to me.

It has RPG elements, such as learning skills, but I'd place it firmly as a simulation.
