With saying simulation, I think they mean that it is more like in the category of rollercoaster tycoon, sim city, etc. But this time you don't organise a theme park or a city, but a family's life, wether it is a single guy, or a whole family.
Your sim has some stats, like strength, and then some stat to do speeches. But these stats are only required to get a better job and thus a better payment <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
I think the main thing is still to just buy better stuff and improve your house, like in other simulation games.
But it's still a good game, lot's of people enjoy it, looking at the selling of the game.
