My advice is to start with a much simpler project. I think you need to set more realistic goals and focus on completing smaller projects if you want to accomplish your goal of becoming a game developer. I took the liberty of looking at some of your past posts and I can see a pattern of starting ambitious projects only to get distracted and try something else. You need to pick a technology, a small project, and work that project to completion.
The Sims is a very complex game that took many many people to produce and a high budget. I am not saying that you will never be able to produce a game like that in the future, but right now you do not have the resources or skills to be able to produce that game successfully without frustrating yourself a great deal.
If you want to use Unity great... but take some time and learn how to use Unity. Try to make some simple games with it (such as pong). Programming and game development are skills that take a long time to learn.
You must be careful with "finding" artwork as many times you have to deal with licensing issues (which can involve paying money) and/or legal trouble if the assets were ripped from a game.
