Hey Bill, The Sims is a game for your PC. It features an environment which you control. You decide how many family members and what their makeup is. Male , female, child whatnot. You can also download some things from their website. You can also build houses and furbish them in anyway that you deem appropriate. A friend of mine gave me the game and I have been playing this on the weekends. Hope this helps your understanding of the game. Rich [Moderator's note: Heard of things like Sim City, Sim Theme Park etc. Guess this is along those lines. Oh yes, I like computer games (and "real" stuff, like pinball... just never got into those.
