Well, do you know about the software 'games' called Sim City, Sim 
Earth, Sim Ant, and so on? (In Sim City, you are the owner of a 
city which you can see on your monitor and try to manage it in 
such a way that people will move there and the economy will grow, in 
Sim Earth, you start with a planet and try to evolve 
space-travelling beings, etc).

IIRC the company that makes them is named Maxis.

And Maxis's, or whatever their name is, latest hit product is sort of 
a super doll house, in which you create the house and the people 
who live in it (who are said to be the mythical species, Sims, who 
live in Sim City) and ocassionally throw plot devices into their 
relationships.

I've never played it myself, but a friend showed it to me once.
