The Sims Online

The Sims Online is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game that creates a virtual environment meant to mimic the real world. Participants get to design everything from their homes to themselves, with the ability to create an avatar possessing any traits that the user might see fit. In its attempts to mimic the look and feel of the real world, The Sims Online also mimics some of the ethical dilemmas, including identity, the creation and enforcement of behavioral norms, and censuring users who break those norms.
