Sims Life Saudi Arabia

Your family. Your street. Your Riyadh.

A LIVING DOLLHOUSE Look down on your villa with the roof lifted off. Faisal, Noura, Lama and Saud each have six needs. Leave them alone and they look after themselves, or point your laser and tell them what to do: cook dinner, shower, watch TV, play games, go to bed.

STEP OUT ONTO THE STREET Press A and you stand in the room at life size. Walk out past the yard walls, along the palm-lined street, down to the wadi. Press A again to tower over the neighbourhood.

A RIYADH STREET THAT LIVES ON ITS OWN Najdi mud houses with stepped parapets and modern villas with mashrabiya windows, a wadi with ducks and a stone bridge, Diriyah-style mud towers across the water, Hamza at his shawarma stand, Amal's cafe with kunafa and Arabic coffee, a coffee kiosk, a basketball court, the park and a metro entrance. Kingdom Centre, Al Faisaliah and a mosque on the skyline.

ENGLISH AND ARABIC Switch every menu between English and Arabic (العربية) with one button, written right to left. Prices in riyals, a Sunday-to-Thursday week with the Friday-Saturday weekend.

SANDBOX MODE Unlimited money, free furniture anywhere on the street, needs topped up, any time of day, sun or rain, and a family party.

WORK, SCHOOL AND SKILLS Jobs and school, bills, pizza delivered to the door, skills, friendships and family goals. Day turns to night and every window lights up.
