This page is about the first entry in the series. For the series overall, see MySims (Series).

MySims, previously known by the working title The Sims Wii, is a game developed and published by Electronic Arts as a spinoff to The Sims franchise. It was released for the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows, and mobile phone.

The art style and gameplay is heavily inspired by Nintendo franchises, such as Animal Crossing. Primarily a single-player game, the PC-version once included multiplayer functionality through internet connection.[1] This is the first game in the MySims series, and is followed by MySims Kingdom, MySims Party, MySims Racing, MySims Agents, and MySims SkyHeroes.

Releases[]

Reception[]

MySims has received fairly mixed, but generally decent reviews. It is known for having colorful graphics and cheery and fun gameplay, but criticized for having too much focus on construction and collecting essences. IGN said "The problem is that nearly all of the objectives revolve around the same two tasks: the collection of essences and the construction of houses, buildings and items. All of the Sim management and social interaction elements of the previous games – well, you're not going to find much of that in the streamlined Wii affair". Gamespot praised the Wii game for the construction being intuitive and flexible and for the presentation being cheery and clean. It was also criticized for having longer than usual load times. Its Nintendo DS counterpart is regarded as virtually an all new game in design; However, reception of its control scheme varied greatly.

Trivia[]

  • Taco Bell gave out MySims (PC) for free in kid's meals during 2010. Unlike other versions, this one doesn't have DRM.
  • MySims (PC) was released the exact same day as MySims Kingdom in North America; October 28, 2008.
    • This date is incorrectly listed on the EA app as December 29, 2007. The app also outdatedly describes the use and requirements of online functions, despite the necessary servers being shut down in 2011.
  • The soundtracks for Buy Mode and Build Mode in The Sims 2: Pets can be found in the files of the game, albeit unused.
  • MySims (PC) is the second Sim game to require a Service Pack, the first being SimCity Societies.
  • MySims (Console/PC) is the only game in the entire MySims series where the player can dress exactly like every NPC. This can be accomplished by becoming best friends with Sims to unlock their outfits and/or using the Mirror, Dresser, Changing Booth, Costume Chest, and Salon Chair.
