The Sims 2
The game takes place in a city called Strangetown, which is populated by various Sims who have no idea that they are part of a grandiose reality show called “Strangetown” and all their actions are being filmed. The show is organized by billionaire Daddy Bigbucks, who moved from the metropolis after his defeat in The Urbz. Bigbucks personally hires the player character as the star of the show and guides them via earpiece through a number of scenarios.
The game begins with a character creation editor where the player can choose the name, gender, skin color, clothes and hairstyle of the Sim. Next, the controlled Sim finds themself in a new area, in which they will henceforth live. The game is a linear action-adventure title with some attributes of the original The Sims 2. The character moves around the town to solve problems and help local residents. By choosing a life goal related to wealth, popularity or knowledge, this affects the further desires and knowledge of the controlled Sim. As the player completes tasks, the controlled Sim earns money and looks for things they need. Sims can also earn extra money by playing various mini-games (that are presented in-universe as commercials). With all this, the player must not forget about the character's basic needs for sleep, food, toilet, hygiene and sleep.
After completing the storyline of each episode in the reality show, the player's performance is judged by critics based on how well the main storyline was executed and how many secret easter eggs were uncovered. A large number of points increases the show's rating and unlocks new items and interactions with other characters.
