*** It's the only entry where the Japanese version was given the DubNameChange to ''[=SimPeople=]'' (to be more consistent with the ''Sim'' title. Accordingly, the player families (except the Goths) and homes were altered to give them an East Asian flavor. Later games kept the original name, and the playable household and homes unaltered.

Added DiffLines:

*** Since relationships aren't tracked in the same way as later games, a married Sim can re-propose and have multiple spouses at once ... as many as seven, if you don't care about having kids (due to the eight Sim-per-household limit).

Spelling/grammar fix(es)


For the purpouse of giving the player more things to do, expanding the game and [[MoneyDearBoy the creator's wallet]], seven Expansion Packs were created, which the franchise would become infamous for:
* ''Livin' Large'' (''Livin' it Up'' on the UK): In which sims [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin do live to the max]]. This expansion introduced elements of chance and positive or negative outcomes to some objects, on a general theme of fantasy (i.e., it introduced the Grim Reaper to the series), and sci-fi. It also introduced the (in)famous [[VideogamePerversityPotential vibrating heart-shaped bed]] to the game. From this expansion on, players could have up to five neighbourhoods (savegames), on one install.

* AbsurdlyElderlyMother: Since, unlike subsequent games, elderhood doesn't technically exists, being just part of the head selected for a given sim, it's completely possible for a female sim who looks like a granny to have a baby.

Added DiffLines:

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Drinking a yellow potion from the chemistry set permanently reverses the drinker's personality (unless they drink another yellow potion). Some players like to exploit this by creating a sim with no personality points and having them drink a yellow potion to give them 10 in every personality stat.
