Though The Sims games don't have a distinct protagonist that the player controls, one can argue that the player is the main character - the overseeing, deity-like entity who creates the Sims and subsequently governs their fates.

These digital characters are entirely at your mercy, and let's be real - not a person among us hasn't murdered at least one of our Sims, right?

People can certainly be trusted to come up with creative ways to kill people, as evidenced by the myriad ways players have killed their Sims - setting the kitchen on fire and leaving them to burn, electrocuting them, starving them, and most famously, trapping them in the swimming pool by removing the steps and letting them drown.
