Gameplay
The Wii version of MySims Kingdom takes a departure from The Sims franchise and begins with a character living in a run-down kingdom with a king desperate to bring happiness back. The kingdom's Wandoliers, wand-equipped Sims that worked to keep the kingdom in order, have long since retired or moved away and it is up to the player to become the new Wandolier and restore order. The player's job is to rebuild, or remodel, homes and other structures for the characters using scrolls given to them by the islanders, and complete tasks that the islanders assign. Players must collect essences to unlock these scrolls and gain new items from them, and collect "mana" used to create furniture and structures and in return the player is given essences, scrolls, King Points (occasionally) and outfits for their Sim.
As the kingdom's happiness increases, new islands are unlocked. To unlock more places, the player runs errands until they collect enough "King Points". A second set of missions are handed out before reaching the end of the game and achieving a special award.
Reception
The Wii version received "generally favorable reviews", while the DS version received "mixed" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
