Construction is simple, based on a diverse collection of boxes and bric-a-brac that you can drag about using the Wii Remote. When you pick up a piece of flair for your structure, blue dots will appear to show where you can actually place them. Constructing new buildings and amenities will raise the profile of your new township, and so on. What you build is usually dictated by the Sims that are looking to take up residence within the town.

Building furniture is easy, as the game highlights the pieces you need in green, and grabbed pieces will snap into position when you get them close enough with the Wii Remote. You’ll also find that you don’t need to fill in every single piece of a blueprint to make a successful piece of furniture, and at a point the game will actually encourage you to start building outside the blueprints. Building is a substantial part of MySims, and thankfully it is extremely enjoyable. When building houses, there are set blocks that you can use to construct them and they can only be two stories high.
