In real life, I can mention a lot of games just made for fun without a specific goal. And if you choose your own goal, it's still a goal.Johnny Novgorod said:It's not technically a game, since every game has a goal (unless there's some sort of build-it campaign I haven't heard of). The Sims is kind of like Minecraft, you set your own goals (and rules, sometimes). It's a toy, not a game. Not that there's anything wrong with it!
EDIT: Hey I just got the thread title. Whammy!
Oh yeah, I can mention another game I've played sometimes. It's actually a multiplayer, called Maplestory. It's kind of an RPG. It's not as free as TS, it's hard to find anything that is. But I can still choose which goal to aim for. As I do in the sims.
