Any number of things can go wrong (or right) with your Sims. The way you treat them leads them to greatness or poorness. I especially like the life of crime feature with the Sims--you can do just about anything! I'm very glad that someone released it for Mac.

It's a really fun game that simulates the real family life really good. Almost every kind of relations can be made in this game. The game is very entertaining. Once you begin to play this game you can be prepared to sit in front of your computer for many, many hours. You can almoust bee terrified of how close to the real life it is. I can just say: Buy it!

This game is truly great. It allows complete control of a Sim family. You can create your own sim families, and play God. What more could you want in a computer game?
demo looks really cool

I love this game, so does my little sister. Its so cool. What you do is basically run the lives of a family. You pick them and their house and you are away. Its really cool having these people do whatever you tell them to. You tell them to eat, watch television and everything. The graghics are also really good. The only down side is the fact that you lack a bit of freedom eg like you go out and visit people. Exept for that it is really cool
Perhaps the best game ever!

If you have ever wanted to be God, then this is for you. It is totally amazing! What a unique concept: being in control of virtual people! And just like SimCity, this game can be incredibly habit-forming; you will literally catch yourself thinking about this game and game strategies even when you're away from it. Kudos to the designers of this game.
Impressive graphics, hilarious situations, it is definitely a must have. You must, I repeat, MUST get this game!

Another great Sim game is the Sims. Its fun intresting, and teches you about people. Its not a great game for young kids because it has nudity in it, but besides that its a really good game for all ages.
"The Sims" (for Macintosh) rocks!

I am soooo adicted to this game! You will spend hours and hours at a time playing this as you struggle to get your sims to have fun, be succesful in careers, earn relationships with neighbors and family, build a house, and so many other things! You will notice that after time you WILL get better! They even have a web site where you can download new objects and other peoples houses and families. This game is a blast so don't wail another minute get it NOW!
