This is a digression, but… I’m not sure it actually makes sense to claim that what holds Sim #1335 to the ground is a gravitational force, any more than it would make sense to say that what holds an astronaut connected to the outside of their shuttle via magnetic boots is a gravitational force.
What it is, exactly, I don’t know—I haven’t played SimCity since the early 90s, and have no sense of how it behaves or operates. But I’d be really surprised if it were something that, if I found myself in that universe having my memories, I’d be inclined to call gravitation.

For the Sims, yes, I’d agree. For a more physical based simulation, I would not.
(nods) As I say, it’s a digression.
