MySims Kingdom (ぼくとシムのまちキングダム, Boku to Shimu no Machi Kingdom), is a video game developed by EA Redwood Shores and published by Electronic Arts as a spinoff to Maxis' The Sims francise for the Nintendo DS and Wii in 2008. MySims Kingdom is a follow up to MySims, which it was released in 2007 and it was followed by MySims Party.

New features

The game has new features to its predecessor MySims, where there are fewer loading screens, and most of them feature interactive cutscenes. The frame has been improved for smoother animation. Item creation has been dropped and decorating a Sim's Home is done with pre-fabricated items obtained by finishing quests where you are asked to find several specific essences and trade them for scrolls, that gives you the ability to make new items.

Essences are no longer needed to build or paint, instead you use "Mana Points" which can be obtained by performing certain activities like mining. Also the game includes a new building interface and a storyline unlike the first My Sims.
