About MySims
In MySims, you’ll help Mayor Rosalyn rebuild and transform a struggling town. From crafting furniture to adding new buildings, you can customize your town and show off your creativity. You’ll also meet interesting characters, complete fun requests for the townspeople, and attract new residents by improving the town.

In MySims Kingdom, you’ll help King Roland transform his kingdom from a state of disrepair into a thriving, happy place for all his subjects. You can take on epic quests, solve puzzles, and meet unique characters while unraveling the kingdom's mysteries.
When you first launch either game, you’ll start with a randomly generated Sim that you can customize using controls or the touch screen on your Nintendo Switch™.
The on-screen position of the character customization buttons in MySims differs from MySims Kingdom, but here are some customization features of both games.

How to use Build Mode
In Build Mode, the green grid outlines the limits of your workspace, showing you where you can build your house or Workshop.
- Move the pointer to the base block and select it. Then, drag it to the workspace to place it.
- Using the directional buttons:
- press Up or Down to resize
- press Left or Right for more building options.
- Add the roof.
- Add objects (door, window, etc.) to the exterior. Drag the object from the lawn to the workspace to place it. The blue dots highlight where you can place objects.
- To change the color of something, select the Paint button. Then, move the pointer to the object you want to change the color of and select it.
- When you finish building your house or Workshop, press the + button to save.
Heads-up that you’ll need to add the following before you can save and proceed:

- Workshop: The hammer sign.
Building tips
- To save what you’ve created in Build Mode, every building in your town (except your house) must have at least one of each of these objects:
- a base block
- a sign
- a door.
- When building and placing objects for other Sims, keep their Interests in mind. The Interests wheel on the left of your screen in Build Mode will let you know what Interests the building and objects you’re placing are meeting.
- To change the look of an existing house, select the mailbox and choose Remodel. You’ll unlock more building blocks and decoratives as you play.
- When building objects in the Workshop, use the green highlighted objects to fill in the ghost image of the object from the bottom up.
- When you finish building in the Workshop, select Done. The completed object can be found in your backpack.
In MySims: Cozy Bundle, every character has Interests that shape their style and personality. These Interests affect what they like and how they interact with others. Interests also categorize objects in the game.
Want to find out what a Sim’s Interests are? Sims often express their likes and dislikes through interactions, so look for any hints they might give during conversations. You can also check if the Sim’s decoration style or owned objects have a specific theme, which may give clues about their Interests.

Interests in MySims Kingdom
In MySims Kingdom, Interests work a little differently than in MySims. Interests are less important in character interactions—instead, they help you sort objects based on their theme or style. They’re more about organizing objects by category than defining a Sim’s personality.
