MySims SkyHeroes is the final game in the MySims series; it was the first to be released on different consoles but not in Japan. Though it seems to serve as a spiritual sequel of MySims Agents, the main focus was fighting enemy planes.
This would be the last MySims game for a while, leaving the franchise to be forgotten (aside from a few references in Sims content)...right up until the surprise re-release of the MySims Cozy Collection on the Nintendo Switch.
Unused Characters#
Faith Connors from Mirror's Edge and Natasha Volkova from Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 were going to appear as cameo characters, but were cut from the game. Natasha has leftovers in the files, which means that she was cut late into development. An unknown old man character was going to appear as a member of Crescent Moon, but was cut from the game. Artwork still exists of this character.
Config File#
Present in the root directory is a configuration file named ENGINE.ini responsible for managing some of the game's settings.
