The Town You Build Yourself!
This Town is Run by Kids!
Hey kids! Now you can build and run your own animated town! Put the roads wherever you want. Choose different houses, including log cabins, haunted houses and castles. Place your favorite businesses, including pizza parlors, toy stores, video arcades and movie theaters! Watch people walk, bicycle and skateboard through town as they work, play and have fun. You can even follow them into their homes. Now you can build your own dream town! Well, OK, there are grown-ups, but nothing's perfect.
SimTown is designed to teach kids the basic concepts behind economics (supply and demand), ecology (natural resources, pollution and recycling), and city planning (balancing homes, businesses and recreation) in a fun, easy-to-understand simulation.
