My kiddo has a game, I think it's called Tycoon, where you start with a void and create your own land masses, countries, cities, down to the individual characters. It has "God mode" where you can blast away in destruction as much of it as you want by lightening bolts, hurricanes, tornados, etc. I was a little unnerved by how fun I found God mode to be.

It seemed something like this only more. In that virtual city or town or whatever it was you create a character, then that character lives out a life at your direction, interacting with other virtual characters that others direct. I vaguely remember thinking "Simpsons" at the time, so it may have Simms. Has anybody heard of this?
