Games Like The Sims for Building the Home and Running the Household

Think about the last house you made in The Sims. Maybe you rebuilt the kitchen twice, or maybe you left it alone because you were busy getting everyone fed, rested, and on speaking terms. That tells you which kind of game to try next. Start with games that let you design a place and see what happens when people move in. Keep reading for rooms you can build with fewer rules and households whose relationships or routines give you more to manage. Each entry explains what you can change about the home and how much control you have over daily life inside it.
