Game information

The Sims 4 is a life simulation game, similar to its predecessors. Players create a Sim character and control their life to explore different personalities which change the way the game plays out. Sims can multitask such as talk while doing a task. Sims' moodlets also change the gameplay. For example, a Sim can do a task while being either angry or totally excited. Similar to previous Sims games, player-created challenges abound. One of the most prevalent is the Legacy Challenge, in which players create a single Sim and try to make its family line last for ten generations.

Series background

Jack starts out with four Sims: Steve McBOSS (based on himself), Betty McBOSS (based on Jack's previous Korean girlfriend), Billy McBOSS (based on Billy), and Abigail McBOSS. Steve gets a job as an entertainer and Betty works as a writer's assistant. In the fourth episode, Jack decided to murder the children by locking Billy and Abigail into cubicle-style rooms without doors and they soon got taken away by Social Services. Steve and Betty then embezzle thousands of dollars and move into a fancy new house. Later, Steve and Betty try for a daughter, who is named Bitty McBOSS, who later dates Bella Goth. Bitty and Bella soon adopt a child, who Jack names Tiberius.

Tiberius was killed off in the 20th episode after getting eaten by a cow plant. Jack was criticized as an "orphan killer" due to killing an adopted member, which Jack responds to in the next episode telling the viewers to calm down because it is a fictional character in a game.

As the series progresses, two new characters arrive, who are the twin daughters of Steve and Betty. They are both named Abbie McBOSS, when Jack gave them the same name by accident, before realizing Betty had twins. One of the Abbies' was killed by Jack when the family went camping, by building a swimming pool surrounded by a wall. Betty opens a retail store, and Bella begins working as a scientist. Steve and Betty also have another child, Jack Bossepticeye, who Jack models after himself.

Jack later becomes a Police detective and falls in love with one of his co-workers, Kasey Darnell, in the 27th and final episode.
