SIM it is in English - "Simulation", which means simulation. This is one of the genres of video games in which the player gets the opportunity to reproduce and control certain aspects from the real or fictional world in the virtual world. SIM games try to convey a certain aspect of reality with maximum reliability.
SIM games can cover various fields such as construction simulation, life simulation, transport control simulation, city management simulation, aircraft simulation, farm simulation, FPV drone simulation and much more.
In such games, the player can have various tasks and goals, for example, build and manage a city, ensure economic development, perform tasks related to resource management, planning, creating and managing systems or models.

Players can use additional devices for maximum immersion - a steering wheel with pedals (for car simulators), a virtual reality helmet, gamepads, consoles (for example, for drones), etc.
