I think this game is mentioned in the classic "The Art of Computer Game Design" by Chris Crawford and thought it sounded quite interesting and wanted to play it. When The Sims came out I was instantly reminded of the description of this game, it's very early precussor. And now, I finally have it, thanks to The Home of the Underdogs, a site dedicated to the preservation of old games that may be long past their commercial shelf-life, but still are design classics. Ignoring the fact that they are still copyright, of course. Alas. It's an interesting instance of a situation where violating copyright is assuredly illegal, but not immoral.
