Forum:Universe of The Sims series



There are many times when I come to question the universe of The Sims series. The games in the main series (The Sims, The Sims 2, The Sims 3) are obviously in the same universe. It's the spinoffs and console versions that I'm worried about. The Sims Stories series is in the same universe as the main series, since it mentions neighborhoods from The Sims 2. The Sims Online is also probably in the same universe as the main series as well, since some of its neighborhoods are mentioned in The Sims 3. The Sims on console and The Sims Bustin' Out on console are most likely in the same universe, but I'm not sure if they're in the same universe as the main series. The Sims Bustin' Out on handheld, The Urbz: Sims in the City on handheld, The Sims 2 on GBA, and The Sims 2 on NDS are all probably in the same universe as well, since they share many of the same characters and are developed by the same company. The Sims 2 on PSP is most likely in the same universe as the main series, since it features Strangetown after the events of The Sims 2. I'm not sure if The Sims 2 Castaway (Nintendo DS) is in the same universe as any of the other games, but there's no reason why it can't be. All of the other games that I haven't mentioned (The Urbz: Sims in the City on console, The Sims 2 on console, The Sims 2 Pets on console and handheld, The Sims 2 Castaway on console, and The Sims 2 Apartment Pets.) are the ones that I have no idea which universe they could be in. The only ones of those games that I haven't played are The Sims 2 Pets, The Sims 2 Castaway console, and The Sims 2 Apartment Pets. If anyone has played those games, please help explain which universe you think they could be in. Thank you for reading this (I know its long :p) and please discuss which games you think are in the main series universe. --Random Ranaun 02:03, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
