Needs+in+Sims

Have you ever played the **SIMS**?

I am sure most of you did but let me write just a few words for those who did not have a chance to play it. The SIMS is a life-simulation game. You create your own Sim (who looks as a human) and you interact with the surroundings (objects at home, neighbours etc.). As the producers of the game tried to copy human's life as much as possible we have something called **NEEDS** that we need to fulfil in order to make our Sim happy. **An example of needs from SIMS 2**

As you can see we have to take care of the basic needs such as bladder, hunger, hygiene and energy, as well as psychological needs like fun, social, comfort and environment. There is a lack of self-actualization need though. The tricky thing is that we cannot fulfil only those needs that we think are crucial. Just as in real life, the basic needs come first. Your Sim will not be able to have fun with friends if he or she lacks of sleep or is hungry, not to mention the full bladder.
