They ignore it. The Sims models behavior only on a
need-satisfaction basis. Hunger, comfort, hygiene, bladder, energy,
fun, social, and room. Each world object broadcasts a fullfillment
of one or more of these needs and there's no issue of resource
management. Sometimes furniture breaks, but it's up to the player
to tell the Sim to fix it.
In effect, the Sims is a game of setting up potential fields on a
grid and seeing these little automatons running to the highest
potential at any given time. Like a sinister rat-cheese experiment.
