Game roles[]
MySims (Console/PC/Apple Arcade)[]
- Main article: Essence User
The Essence Master.
In the first game of the MySims series, there is a run-down town that has fallen apart after the old Essence Master disappears. Without him there to help out, the town's residents moved away the town fell into disrepair. One day, Mayor Rosalyn P. Marshall is notified that a Sim with the power to use Essences is moving to town to help: the player. After settling in, the player helps the mayor and Poppy, the town florist, by building them items to help them do their jobs. Word spreads about their success, causing a chain reaction of the town's rating to improve and more Sims visiting. At the hotel, the player will meet many Sims with a variety of interests and aspirations. The player helps the town grow by convincing hotel guests to move in, building them homes and businesses, and building the items they need. It's up to the player to decide who can move into town and how their homes and businesses look. They can even give the town's residents makeovers with the Changing Booth, Costume Chest, and Salon Chair. As everyone gets their wishes completed, the town's Star Level increases. By becoming best friends with Sims, the player will unlock unique blueprints, clothing, hairstyles, and more. The game is considered complete upon reaching Star Level 5, but the player can continue customizing the town however they want for as long as they want.
Movement[]
The player can move around in the world by using the assigned buttons to move. In MySims (Wii), the joystick on the nunchuck controls the Sim, and in MySims: Cozy Bundle, the control is the joycon on the left Switch controller, while in MySims (PC), the controls are W A S D.
Outdoors[]
The player runs outdoors but will sometimes walk automatically when selecting an action, or manually by lightly pushing the joycon. If the player keeps running for a long time, they will build up speed after about 10 seconds and run twice as fast. This is very useful for overcoming longer distances.
Indoors[]
While indoors, the player is only able to walk at a moderate pace. They are also not able to build up speed. The player can also walk up edges 1 (?) block tall and climb to a height of 10 blocks at most; the game prohibits everything above.
Size[]
The hitbox of a typical Sim is 21 blocks tall and has a diameter (⌀) of 6 blocks.
Every Sim (including the player) has a hitbox with a fixed size. This way, they can bump into other objects and interact with the world. Sims have a cylindrical hitbox with a diameter (⌀) of 6 blocks and a height of 21 blocks.
MySims (DS)[]
MySims on the Nintendo DS is a loose port of the console version, however unlike the PC version, it takes several liberties. For one, instead of a run-down town, The player moves to a resort town, the mayor of which is not Rosalyn, but instead her elderly aunt, Helen, who lives with her grandson, Tim. The only other residents on the island when the player moves in are Ewan, a police officer, and Tyler, a tailor. There is also Nicki, the captain of the ferry that brings the player to the island, although despite technically meeting her first, she is not actually considered a resident until Star Level 3. None of the characters from the console versions appear in the DS version and vice versa, meaning both games have entirely different casts of characters, although there are occasional references made to characters from each game.
Overall, the DS version is much more of a social simulator with more emphasis placed on interacting with the various residents and much less emphasis on customizability, unlike the console versions. There is also no way to build new buildings or decorate them. Additionally instead of there being empty lots, all potential buildings already exist on the island when the player arrives and are simply vacant. The player is still able to buy furniture to decorate the inside of their house (the outside can't be changed at all), but all furniture now has a small handful of color options and Essences are entirely removed as a mechanic. To make up for this, there are several minigames, including a 'conversation' minigame that can raise or lower the player's relationship with the various island residents, often requiring the player to cheer them when they're sad or calm them down from being angry.
MySims (Mobile)[]
MySims on mobile generally has a similar plot to the DS version, along with a similar cast of characters, but is overall much more rudimentary and has been heavily simplified due to the hardware being even more limited than the DS's. As a direct result of its less powerful hardware, it is the only game in the series to be entirely 2D pixel art instead of using 3D models. Also, for some reason, there are numerous inconsistencies with every other game, such as Nicki's name being spelled "Nikki" and Martin being blonde despite being a redhead in all other appearances, among many other small things. In total, the player is able to create up to 24 characters on one device.
If "Start Game" is selected on the main menu, the player's appearance and gender will be completely randomized and, for the first (and only) time in the series, given a default name, Cris, regardless of gender. The player will then see Cris riding Nicki's ferry to the island like in the DS version. If the option "New/Edit" is chosen instead, the player will be brought to a character creation screen, at the end of which they will get to name them, with no default name inputted. The player will then be able to continue the game with their newly created character, or make more. New/Edit can also be used to change any character's gender, name, and appearance at any time, even if the player initially started the game as the randomized Cris. Something odd about this is that "Cris" and other island residents' names are spelt with correct capitalization, but the name input in the character creator only allows the player to use capital letters, so any the player character who is edited will end up having their name in all caps, unless they stick with the default Cris name (which would require not editing your character at all, as the game forces you to rename your character after you've finished customizing their appearance).
MySims Kingdom (Console/PC/Apple Arcade)[]
- Main article: Royal Wandolier
The Wandolier's scepter.
The player starts as a pig farmer, working for the cranky Elmira Clamp. Buddy arrives and shows fliers for the Royal Wandolier Trials. Buddy drops the fliers and player is forced to pick them up. Afterwards, the player joins the trials with a training scepter to become a Royal Wandolier, and then starts the real adventure, traveling across different islands throughout the kingdom, helping out residents through multiple tasks. Doing so will rack up King Points, which award the player with new furniture, decoratives, paint colors, wallpaper, flooring, and construction materials to build and furnish homes. Unlike MySims, the player’s gender can be chosen when starting the game instead of picking from a variety of clothes thrown together for both males and females and depending on appearances to determine a Sim's gender.

Players compete in festivals in MySims Party.
The player does not play a specific role, unlike previous games, and multiple Sims can be created that can compete in festivals, just like the pre-made Sims in the game. After racking enough winning points in festivals, more will be available to compete in, and the town will improve. Higher scores in certain minigames will result in more residents moving in, and some will be eligible to be chosen as teammates. Monuments and statues will also be won from each festival as an accomplishment, which can be displayed around town.

The player has to win races to repair Speedville and find out what happened to Sir Charles.

Gabby is impressed with the player’s driving skills, and upon finishing his challenges, he asks the player to do challenges for the other Sims. The player helps out the other residents by doing various "challenges", which range from trying to beat the clock to obstacle races. Gabby also tells the player about Sir Charles who built Speedville, loved racing, and was an expert before he disappeared 10 years ago, which caused the town to fall apart. After Star Level 1, other town residents start noticing the player’s racing efforts and cheer them on to make Speedville as bustling as it had been before. Meanwhile, the player tries to stop Morcubus, who's trying to take over Speedville and use it for his own purposes.

After suffering a coma for a few days, the player finally awakes, and meets Justice, the general of SkyForce. The player explains to him that the only things they can remember is their name and that they were a pilot. Most of the members of Skyforce, with the exception of Derek, accept Player instantly, becoming amazed when they witness their incredible skills, which leave even Justice himself impressed. Pretty soon, The player is invited to join the team as an honorary member, an offer they accept.
After a victory in which the player helps destroy a MorcuCorp satellite dish, the player comes up with the idea to gather all the resistance squadrons under SkyForce and take down Morcubus once and for all.
SPOILER WARNING!!! Plot and/or ending details follow. Later in the storyline, the player has a nightmare, where Morcubus orders the player to track down the SkyForce base, which they accept. With the aid of Raphael and Rose, the player attacks Summer and attempts to tail her back to the base, only to be shot down by Justice. The player questions him about this and quickly realizes they were of the Chaos Pirates, more specifically the lackey of the group, who has taken that chance to prove themself to Morcubus. Derek demands that the player be imprisoned, but Justice denies it, as the player has come to terms with the truth about who their allegiance really should be with.
When every pilot has been recruited, the player volunteers to act as a double agent, tricking Rose and Raphael into believing they’ve come back to the Chaos Pirates as they free them and journey to meet Morcubus. To allow the player to 'redeem' themself, Morcubus has them steal a shield generator from Dr. F, unaware the player sent a message to him asking to make a modification. Once the player gets the shield generator, they meet Morcubus at his flying fortress, and he reveals the main reason he's controlling flight is to have the "Morcubus Day Parade". When Morcubus and the other Chaos Pirates get distracted, the player makes their escape with Svetlana, Dragomir, and Rose on their tail. The player gets away, and the Chaos Pirates decide to let them go.
After returning to SkyForce base, Derek apologizes for not trusting the player, and everyone prepares to take on Morcubus. It is revealed that the modification to the shield generator was that it was fitted with an energy reciprocator that when activated by a remote control, would send a violent burst of excess energy through the shield generator, knocking out all of the rest of the MorcuFortress' main systems, including engines and weapons, leaving it practically helpless.
