My impression, though this may be mistaken or oversimplified, is that Sim is more about a game which focuses on the experience of being part of the setting. I believe Edwards' essay on it was entitled "Simulationism: The Dream" or some such. Meaning the dream of what it would be like to live in the gameworld.

Not that this can't lead to interesting characters and characterization, if you have good RPers, just that the focus of the story may be less about the characters.

Sort of. Don't think I'm quite articulating it here.
