Since players guide the development and behaviors of their Sims, they can make them good citizens and caring friends, displaying character strengths such as curiosity, empathy, and perseverance, or give them overt flaws, such as a tendency to cheat, act only in their own best interest, or be aggressive toward others. Sims characters can present as nonbinary and aren't restricted to wearing gender-specific clothing. Heterosexual and same-sex relationships are possible.
Sims can flirt, kiss, and become romantically involved with other Sims, and eventually have sex and start families. The object of the game is to guide Sims in their day-to-day lives as they do everything from socialize and advance their careers to preparing supper and taking care of bathroom duties (without nudity). Players create virtual people, choosing from a wide range of skin tones, body types, and clothing items, including a variety of cultural and religious items such as saris and hijab.
