Construction and management simulation [ edit ]
Construction and management simulation (CMS) [ 1 ] is a type of simulation game in which players build, expand or manage fictional communities or projects with limited resources. [ 2 ] Strategy games sometimes incorporate CMS aspects into their game economy, as players must manage resources while expanding their project. But pure CMS games differ from strategy games in that "the player's goal is not to defeat an enemy, but to build something within the context of an ongoing process." [ 1 ] Games in this category are sometimes also called "management games". [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ]

Dating sim
Dating sims (or dating simulations ) are a video game subgenre of simulation games. usually Japanese, with romantic elements. They are also sometimes put under the category of neoromance. The most common objective of dating sims is to date, usually choosing from among several characters, and to achieve a romantic relationship.
The term 'dating sim' is also often used incorrectly in English as a generic term for romance-driven games ( ren'ai games), a subject matter which is stereotypically associated with the visual novel genre. This can lead to confusion, as visual novels are considered a subgenre of adventure games and are not technically included in the dating sim genre. While the two genres often share a common visual presentation, dating sims are sometimes considered to be more statistically based than the "choose your own adventure " style of visual novels.
The technical definition of a dating simulation game, known as a romantic simulation game ( ?????????????. ren'ai shimyureshon gemu ? ) in Japan, can involve several technical elements such as a time limit, several statistics such as looks and charm which can be boosted through exercise, or an "attraction meter" which can increase or decrease depending on one's decisions.
Some original-English dating sims include SimGirls[1] , Ciao Bella and Summer Session .
