MySims (Wii)

The Wii version of MySims takes a departure from The Sims franchise and begins with a character moving into a run-down town with a mayor desperate to bring residents back. The player's job is to attract business and townies back into town. Players must collect essences to build houses as well as furniture, and in return are given special decorations, blueprints and outfits for their Sim. As the town's population increases, new areas of town are unlocked in which even more people can be moved in. To unlock more places you have to run errands for the new business that move in as you continue, so your town is a five star city. If you miss a person at the hotel, they will return later in the game. Eventually, the town is bustling with citizens again.

You can also interact with citizens by doing certain things with them and also you can join in their activities somewhere in your town. There are six different types of Sims and those include Fun, Geeky, Cute, Studious, Tasty, and Spooky. You can also customize your character in many different items you can build that has the option to change your character. Some items in the game can be used to watch television and other stuff you can do. Unlike other games in The Sims franchise, your Sim does not have needs or want, although eating and sleep is optional.

In the Nintendo Wii version of MySims, the Nunchuk is used for direct movement, with the Wii Remote used for object moving and building. Also you move the cursor around the screen to collect essences and to make your Sim do certain options like eating or sleeping. You can also use the Wii Remote to go fishing in certain lakes around town or the Ocean.
