MySims is a fun game. It has too many loading screens, it isn’t really a traditional Sims game, and it’s geared toward a younger audience but nonetheless I enjoyed my time with it. If you’re looking for a fun weekend rental and you’re sick of everything else the Wii has to offer then I’d say go ahead and plop down the $5 for a rental. It’s a game that combines The Sims, Harvest Moon, and some other unique twists that come together for a fun gaming experience that certainly has all the ingredients to move towards greatness in the sequel.


This is a great video walkthrough of what you'll experience in MySims.
In MySims you enter a vacant abandoned town that needs to be rebuilt. The city’s Mayor helps you build your house and a workshop and then sets you free to do what you wish. You can talk it up with random people, build things in your workshop, and even build houses for new residents if they want you to.

Building houses in MySims is very different than in The Sims 2 as all you do is place blocks onto a pad using the Wiimote. Once the blocks are set you then move on to attaching a roof as well as decorations like a window or a logo that signifies whose house it really is. Once the house is done you don’t ever have to touch the interior and you never ever do any Sims like things like clean the house, take a shower, go to the bathroom, or any sort of normal Sims activities.

Along with building houses you’ll be constantly building interior items like chairs, beds, ovens, etc. Whenever someone new moves in you build them a house, ask them what they need built, and then go build it in your workshop. Building things in your workshop is kind of fun the first couple times but gets old pretty quick.
