The beauty of the game lies within the fact that, unlike most games, there is no real objective or goal to attain. Thus, creativity can be prevalent, and possibilities are limitless.

In SimEarth, your planet has a life of 10 billion years, after which the sun supernovas, turning your entire planet to desert. Unlike the PC version, it is actually possible to continue playing beyond this point.

Placing objects and performing certain actions in the game requires energy, which is represented in omega units (Ω). Actions are carried out through a series of menus, which contain available options to use.
Placing objects and performing certain actions in the game requires ''energy'', which is represented in '''omega units''' (Ω). Actions are carried out through a series of ''menus'', which contain available options to use.
==Other game events==
The following list describes events, in addition to those of the '''events menu''' that may occur during the game based on the simulation.  These events are unavailable to you.
* '''War''': Occurs when resources in the area are scarce.  Any cities which are involved are destroyed.
* '''Pollution''': A problem of ''industrial age'' cities.  Occurs when population density becomes too high.
* '''Sea Pollution''': Oil spills which can occur when an ''industrial age'' population is traveling in the ocean.


Throughout this guide, terms will be presented exactly as they appear in the game; for example "Alt" is used in place of "Altitude".
==Scenarios==
* '''Aquarium''': The game's first scenario, in which you must develop life to intelligence.
* '''Cambrian Earth''': Earth of 550 million years ago.  You are to develop life to intelligence and an ''industrial revolution''.
* '''Modern-day Earth''': Earth of 1990, plagued with problems of war, pollution, and disease.  You are to develop technology to the ''nanotech age'' and trigger ''exodus''.
* '''Mars''': You have 200 years to terraform and colonize Mars with a biomass of 25000 and a civilized population of 1000.
* '''Venus''': You have 500 years to terraform and colonize Venus with a biomass of 25000 and a civilized population of 1000.
* '''Ice Planet''': A planet covered with snow and ice.  As with Mars, you must heat the planet and make it capable of supporting life.  You must develop 25000 biomes and 1000 civilized souls all within 500 years.
* '''Dune''': A desert planet populated only by reptiles.  You must develop a biomass of 25000 and a civilized population of 1000, within a 500 year time limit.
* '''Earth 2XXX''': Robots have taken over the Earth!  You must find a way to destroy them and redevelop the planet to 25000 biomes and a civilized population of 1000. You have unlimited time.
