This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
SIM in English means "Simulation," which refers to simulation. It is one of the genres of video games where the player has the opportunity to recreate and manage certain aspects of the real or fictional world in a virtual environment. SIM games attempt to convey a certain aspect of reality with maximum accuracy.
SIM games can cover various areas, such as construction simulation, life simulation, vehicle management simulation, city management simulation, flight simulation, farming simulation, FPV drone simulation, and much more.
In such games, the player may have different tasks and objectives, such as building and managing a city, ensuring economic development, performing tasks related to resource management, planning, creating, and managing systems or models.
The main idea of SIM games is for the player to feel part of a certain situation and influence it. These games are designed for realistic modeling and have the primary goal of maximum immersion. To achieve maximum immersion, players can use additional devices - steering wheels with pedals (for car simulators), virtual reality headsets, gamepads, controllers (for drones), etc.
Famous SIM video games include: "The Sims," "SimCity," "RollerCoaster Tycoon," "Farming Simulator," "Euro Truck Simulator."
