These also affect focus, & gain your characters experience. Of course, Heroes also have job that must be completed within a certain time. However, if your character is injured from a duel, ate a bland meal, & was trampled by fairies (again, not making this up) his Focus will lower & he’ll be unsuccessful at his endeavors. Activities like having a good meal or making friends will raise your Focus. A highly focus spy will be more likely to succeed at stealing. Focus determines how successful your Hero will be at various activities. You can still do all the same type of activities as in the previous Sims, but they don’t actually have need bars. The needs have also been simplified down to two: hunger & sleep. For instance, a cowardly character will gain a negative status if they’re out at night. These flaws affect your character in different ways. For each Hero you choose two traits, such as adventurous or “parents ate by a whale” (no I didn’t make that part up), as well as one fatal flaw, like gluttony or cowardly. Your Heroes can be customized not only in appearance, but in personality. You can change the aesthetics of your Heroes’ homes, but not the actual structure. For example, during the Doomsday quest you can silence to doomsayer with your spy & bard working together (gaining an increase in security & knowledge), or side with the doomsayer using the Peteran priest & wizard (gaining security but losing culture).Ī lot of the gameplay has been simplified. Which hero you decide to send on the quest determines your goal as well as how you solve it.

There are 10 total Hero classes: monarch, knight, merchant, spy, blacksmith, physician, bard, Peteran priest, Jacobian priest & wizard.

Hero characters are created & selected to play through the various quests. Successfully completing quests can increase your kingdom’s attributes. Some of the quests include Book Burning, Golems Gone Wild, & The Philosopher’s Stone. Quests act as plot devices, telling the story of your kingdom. Speaking of quests, that’s the next major feature of this game. These Ambitions will determine how you choose to grow your kingdom & complete quests. Each kingdom has its own Ambition, which include No Quest for the Weary, Imperial Domination, & Best in Show, just to name a few. Your overall goal is to create & build your own kingdom. As the title suggests, the game is set during the time of kings, queens, knights & wizards. The Sims Medieval is about as close to a complete overhaul of the franchise as you can get without having to call it a different game. Is it any wonder there are so many Youtube videos of people killing their Sims? Well, The Sims Medieval tries to take the game in a new direction. Having to look after all of those needs can be tiresome. I’ve always enjoyed playing the Sims games… for a while.
