# Sims 3 in Bevy: a Rust reimplementation of The Sims 3

> Sims 3 in Bevy reimplements The Sims 3 in Rust using Bevy and data from the player's installation. A separate baking step converts packages into a local cache of textures, meshes and world data; format notes document resource layouts and gameplay tuning used by the implementation.
