What MySims is

MySims is a simulator game developed by EA Redwood Shores and released in 2007. It was published by Electronic Arts. It is available on Wii and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

Move to a town that has been struggling lately. With a little creativity and some help from the locals, you can make this place thrive. Improve the town to attract new characters, from the Italian Chef and Florist to the Kickboxing Instructor and DJ. Discover what the residents want and need so that you can help them enjoy life in their town. Design a hot tub or a jukebox from scratch, build homes and businesses from the roof to the front door. Uncover special decorations and patterns as you explore the growing town. From the furniture and objects to the buildings to the town as a whole, each of your creations is unique.
