The Sims is a series of "life simulation" computer games (including sequels and expansion packs).
It simulates the day-to-day activities of one or more virtual "Sim" people primarily in a suburban household located near SimCity.

The Sims themselves use a nonsensical "Simlish" language that's equally unintelligible to all players. Actual information is conveyed visually through situations, jesters, and symbols in "thought bubbles".
