    I'll bet the wife would like this. She likes the sims, so this would be similar?

      It has many similar attributes. You can actually forego the whole moviemaking part if you want and simply play it like The Sims. You build and landscape your studio, hire actors and crew, keep them happy, assign them to projects, etc., etc.

        Can you skip all the managing stuff and just make movies?

          Yes, there's a sandbox mode for exactly that purpose.

            I'd say it's the only Sims like game that is fun like the Sims.
