The Star Level is a game mechanic used to measure the performance of the town in the MySims games, as well as the player's progress throughout the game. The star level will increase as the player helps more Sims with various tasks. The progress bar appears in the top left corner of the screen, showing how close the player is to the next Star Level along with the starts already earned.
The Star Level game mechanic is replaced by King Points in MySims Kingdom (Console).
