6.2 Compilations with the original The Sims game.The base game itself has sold more than 16 million units, and was at one time the best-selling PC video game in history, until it was eclipsed by The Sims 2. The success of the initial release led to the creation of a total of seven expansion packs for the game, and ultimately led to the release of other games in the The Sims series, including the sequel titles The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and The Sims 4. The Sims was released on February 4, 2000, to wide critical acclaim and numerous awards. The Sims is a spin-off of the SimCity series, and was created by SimCity creator and Maxis co-founder Will Wright. The residential lot that individual Sims or families call home can be upgraded both in terms of the structure ( Build Mode) and the furniture that occupies it ( Buy Mode). Sims have a degree of free will, but not enough to be considered completely independent (and even this limited free will can be disabled). Sims require direction, via mouse inputs, in order to have their needs met and live their lives efficiently. In the game, players control the day-to-day lives of virtual people called ' Sims'. The Sims (retroactively referred to as The Sims 1 or TS1 to differentiate it from the series as a whole) is a single-player interactive life simulation game, developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts.
