The Sims

But How Is It Postmodern?

The sims is a mixture of postmodernism as it can be classed as a hyperreality or simulacra.

It is a fake world where players create and control their own characters or a virtual version of themselves and how they live by helping them survive in the sim world by earning 'simoleans' which is the money used in sims. They even have their own language simlish

The sims also has intertextuality as one of the sim worlds

'Veronville' contains pre-made characters such as Romeo and Juliet. Also it refrences the game itself as your Sims can play The Sims on their game consoles.

There are downloadable Sims that are based on certain celebrities as well and songs within the game that artists such as Aly & AJ have been made and converted into the Simlish language

People really get into the game

and act as though its real. One player posted on the website

"Today was a sad day in Pleasantview. Mortimer Goth died, leaving behind a wife Dina, his three kid" acting as though they are real people.

Not only can players create their own worlds and sims to control there is also

an online community where they can upload their stories, characters and

even videos they have made on The Sims bringing Web 2.0 into the use of The Sims as the game itself has its own youtube page
