is set in medieval times and gives players the opportunity to build up a medieval kingdom, participate in quests, level-up their Sims and fulfill storyline elements. Players will find their Sims in a variety of situations previously unknown to them like whether or not to poison the king, searching for dragons, and punishing Sims by putting them into the stocks or having them face the Pit Beast. Every quest plays out differently depending on which quest choice the player makes and which Sim they use for fulfilling the story.Everything in The Sims Medieval
is crafted to create an immersive medieval world that the player can explore. From the quest-based gameplay, to the medieval objects such as tapestries, clothing and furniture, players will even notice that their Sims look different due to the warm glow behind the characters and the artistically painted approach to the world itself. Completing quests enables players to bring in new playable Hero Sims, that they can fully customize right down to the fabrics they wear as well as selecting their two personal traits and one fatal flaw. Players get close to their characters, not only sending them on epic quests, but also making sure they carry out their daily responsibilities which can vary depending on their career. Responsibilities can include healing the sick as a Physician Hero Sim, trading for exotic goods as a Merchant Hero Sim, or forging armor as a Blacksmith Hero Sim.
