The MySims Property Bible is an official document created by Electronic Arts to communicate the overall creative vision of the MySims franchise visually, interactively, and thematically while developing each game. It helped game developers, programmers, and artists create a uniform look and feel across numerous platforms and game iterations. While initially created in 2008, it did not become publicly available until 2025.
