SimsVille is a cancelled simulation video game game developed by Maxis. The game was conceived as a hybrid between the gameplay of The Sims and SimCity. Development of SimsVille was undertaken over two years by the Maxis development team for SimCity as an opportunity for expansion of The Sims franchise. Following delays to the game's release window, Maxis discontinued development of SimsVille in September 2001, citing the studio's concerns with the quality of the gameplay experience. Despite its cancellation, design elements of SimsVille would influence later Maxis products, particularly the community features of The Sims: Hot Date and the integration of Sims into SimCity 4.
