How does The Sims work?
Few of you may have had the game “Little Computer People” on the Commodore 64. It was about employing a little man in a house where he was given commands or the doorbell or telephone rang. "The Sims" is something similar to the successor to LCP: You control the Sims - as the residents are called - in their living environment and can influence both their household and their interactions.
Basically, the task of playing is to build the houses of the Sims, encourage friendships between them and earn money. In “The Sims 4” with the subtitle “Holiday total” the Sims are on vacation and live on a holiday island. There you can travel in three areas. On the one hand by the sea, on the other hand when camping in the forest and in the mountains, where there is also snow.
With the release of Sims 4 in September 2014, there were still minor restrictions on the game execution. As a player, you couldn't build pools or play with a toddler as a character. However, updates were made to these features at short notice.
