Customer Reviews
This is the disc you need!!!
I really was amazed to see
how cheap this product was. It's even cheaper than the Triple Deluxe and
it was limited edition, sos I got it right away!!
OMG where to
start? Who hasnt heard of the Sims? its one of those games that you
either love or hate. I love it, of course. I haev heard some people say
that you cannot install certain expansion packs and that you must
install the whole lot- not true. You can choose to download whichever
expansion pack you want. I will give you a brief note on each expansion
pack:
1) Livin it Up- lots of new items, new careers and new
skins. Nothing amazing about this one.
2) House Party: very fun
with items such as dance stage, buffet and lots more. really fun and you
can have HUGE parties, which is an easy way to make friends.
3)
Unleashed: If you like pets this one is for you. Cute, cuddly little
cats and dogs. They become part of your family, they can have babies.
However they take some time to train and I never bother adopting one!
4)
Vacation: very fun but not enough places to visit. There are 3 themes:
beach, snow and lake. Fun to go now and then.
5)Hot Date:
romance. i love the restaurants they feel so real. You order your food,
eat, hang out, make love...everything. Cool.
6) SUPERSTAR: my
FAVORITE. This expansion pack is really amazing! You live the life of a
Superstar -all the good and all the bad! did I say bad? yes I did. You
get this REALLY annoying OBSESSED FAN who follows you around 24/7. I
mean it. Go to Hot Date, Vacation, or anywhere, he'll be there waiting
for you. Its creepy and sometimes REALLY annoying, but I think its
realistic in a way that you cant be a star without fans. You can sign
autograph, win Grammys Awards, get a Limo to downtown, Sing, Dance, make
a music video, have tons of fans!!! So much!! This is the best
expansion pack. YOU need it!! If you like the Famous life then this is
really gonna blow you away. Make yourself a star!! However, you need to
keep up with the business worl if you wanna be a star, give up your job,
have TONS of famous friends, be VERY skilled. Then you will earn your
life as a star. Its really hard, though.
&)Makin' Magic: this
one is ok. fun and creepy but not all to my liking. lots of new
characters/ interactions and stuff.
+ You get a create a sim disc
where you obviously create a sim. very cool.
OVERALL you need
this excellent package!! Its so cheap and well worth it. if you never
enjoyed the sims, avoid this!!
One Of
The Most Fun Games EVER!
I had the Sims and all the
expansion packs,except Super Star which I gave to my grown daughter. We
were hooked for years and had a blast with our simmies.It is not true
there is nothing you can do about them or items getting"stuck" there is a
cheat"move objects on" that you can do when you are in the buy or build
mode that allows you to move anything,even pick up your sim and move
it! When accomplished you do "move objects off". Plus there is a
fan-site-made "hacked" item you can buy with sim money and download so
you can do the same thing when you are downtown,if you have the Hot Date
expansion pack. There are lots of "cheat" codes to make the game easier
if one needs to,and you can learn all about them on the Sims forum.
This game is a dollhouse,and toybox all in one. The building
capabilities and interior/exterior design are awesome. My daughter and I
built and decorated dream homes for our sims,like we could never dream
of owning,even down to the wallpapers,flooring,exterior sidings,or
brick, and paintings! We had hundreds and hundreds of Maxis and fan-made
items downloaded for our games. It was a thrill just checking out the
new items our favorite fan sites had to offer,like a canopy bedroom
set,or wallpaper,or a picket fence, or even some beautiful lanscape
plants. It is also fun,and sometimes downright hilarious to see your
sim's reactions to the new(not replacement,however) items you give
them!I decided to order this so I only have to install 2
discs,(edit:sorry,it is 4 discs) on my new PC,instead of 11! Can't wait
until it arrives and I can start creating sims and their homes again.Of
course I always make myself and friends and family,but we have perfect
bodies in the game,LOL! You can make skinny or fat sims too,but there
are not as many cool clothes available for them.
BTW,I noticed
one reviewer said the money cheat "motherlode" did not work for this.No
wonder, the money cheat is not motherlode for the original sims, it is
rosebud!
Top-selling computer game of all time,says it all.
Countless Sims-Addicts out there for sure.
I cannot give the same
praise for Sim2,which is eye-candy,but very exasperating as
disheartening to play,It is a race against the clock/death,to accomplish
any goals with your sims in this game because they age quickly and
die,not enough time to really develop and have fun with them,unless you
turn aging off,but all sims outside that house keep aging. I also did
not like anything about how the Sims looked or moved in Sims 2!
I
disliked it so much that I un-installed it,and have never looked back!
Stick
with TS1 to begin,anyway and find out why it is the top selling game.
One
tip: I unplug my cable modem so my anti-virus and instant messenger is
disabled when I play. I would advise everyone to do the same and play
"off-line",to avoid crashes.
A bit out
of date, but still a very good game,
The Sims is the bestselling computer game of all time, worldwide. It's still quite popular and there
is a lot of support available from the manufacturer and fan sites.
This
is a "real time" game and there are problems with time management. For
instance - an hour isn't enough time for a sim to get out of bed,
relieve herself, shower, eat and catch a ride to work, of course finding
a way around this and other similar problems can be enjoyable.
Next,
the sims themselves often have problems finding a path to an object you
want them to use and if another sim is in the way they frequently can't
find a way around them. This makes the time management problem worse.
The
game has a lot of little "quirks", like when they set food on a corner
cabinet they can't reach it to eat it or even clean it up. So you either
don't make corner cabinets or you put lamps or decorations on them.
Sometimes
2 sims will block a doorway and get stuck, then you have to install a
temporary second door or take out a wall so they can find a way around
each other or they will stay there till they die.
Having a large
lot with a big house and a lot of things on it, with a family and a pet
or two can really slow down most systems a lot.
So this probably
seems like too many problems, but really they become part of the charm
of the game, finding ways to resolve them is fun.
It's a detail
oriented game that makes you keep track of multiple factors on multiple
characters at the same time, challenging you to keep them fed,
entertained, clean, rested, comforted, happy with their environment and
socialized all while managing a career and relationships and earning
enough money to make it all possible.
You discover little tricks
like using double doorways and stairways. You learn which objects help
to save time and keep them happy.
Building and furnishing their
homes is fun in itself and is almost like a seperate game within the
game.
This is a good game and very entertaining. I gave it 4 stars overall because sometimes it can become frustrating.
