I've heard people say that Animal Crossing takes elements from The Sims games. I have never actually played a Sims game...what are they like? Are they really that similar to AC?

Ha. No.
Not even close, the Sims is more about managing your Sims, AC is more about the town.
This.
Also, the sims is realistic, and AC is very cartoony.
 
They're pretty different, but I guess they're similar in that you can make make money and build your character's house up. :U And with the sims 3, you can fish and collect bugs. But the sims is much more focused on the realistic aspects of life, like eating and such.
 
The Sims was most likely not the first simulator type game..
I am sure there were plenty of "Life" games before.
 
I understand why that, but its pretty false.
The games have very few things the same.
Sims is more Life based and has more to it.
Animal Crossing is town based.

If you haven't played the sims, and you haven't played AC, then why post? You're gonna get feedback that you will not understand at all.
 
Not close at all. The Sims is rated teen, and you don't just go around picking fruit. You can actually build your house, make your sims have kids (goes through the whole process), have a family, or use cheats and mess around with them, or record like I do a lot.

This is basically like saying... Metal Gear solid is the same as Resident evil because its an Action/Shooter game
Or Halo 3 is like the Bible Stories game that the angry video game nerd reviewed, came out in the late 80's, and all you did was run around as Noah "shooting" food at animals to knock them out, in first-person shooter view. Not to mention, the graphics sucked even at that time.

I think i heard of that *censored.2.0* xD
 
No, I've played AC(going almost 7 years now)...it's the Sims I haven't played. I've always heard this thing about AC being like the Sims. I didn't make myself very clear.

We've explained it.
Its like me saying Super Smash Bros. Brawl is like Tekken.
Point made.
 
Pretty much everything everyone else said. Also I like AC more, but that might change when the sims 3 finally comes from eBay.
 
Well. If you're comparing Sims to AC, don't forget some elements are like Harvest Moon, with planting trees and flowers, friendships and etc.
