WOW! This game was excellent, it features all the great things in the regular combined with the cool things in the living large expansion pack. You want a great and fun sim experience, go on and try the deluxe edition of sims, you won't be sorry after you take a look, you'll be addicted!

It's Wonderful, but after a while it does get pretty old

I love the sims, it's fun, incredibly addicting (I mean incredibly- you can find stories of people who've died in their rooms trying to get their sim to the top of their career track)but for me at least playing it over, and over again, it all got a tad old, and pointless (which is why I'm holding my breath for thesims2 which'll have 10X as much variety), I used to spend half my life on the game, gaining weight, skipping meals, yearning to get home from tennis and sailing (it was during the summer) so I could get home and make a really cool house, I was a sad case. But for me, and many of my friends, I went on one day, craving to see some of the great new stuff I had downloaded the day before and suddenly I was striked with a flash of unenthusiasm- and haven't played the game since. That's the thing with The Sims it will one day give up on you, and you will give up on the sims.

Fun but not worth the time or money

I loved to play this game when it worked, but i had soo many problems with the game... and at first when i got the deluxe edition it worked fine so for christmas i got Vacation, hot date, makin' magic, Unleased, and houseparty expansion packs looking forward to playing i found that after u install another expansion pack.. the game runs really slow... Certain parts mess up and when i was building people it would shut off on me and id lose everything i did... But the games are like Heroine very very addictive and takes up hours and hours i've missed work without even realizing it playing this game and then when it dosent work anymore u are soo dissapointed and after spending over 300 dollars on the whole thing and it messing up the pc i was mad the company site sucks, there technical support is useless and they wouldnt refund my game or anything soo i basically lost 300 dollars and messed up my 800 dollar pc and nearly lost my job to a computer "DRUG" Don't buy it, it will save u tons of money, hastle, and headache

Unfair my foot!

HA! This is just great... ppl calling the game unfair because they are too lazy to go out and work for money to buy the game! LOOK, just think of it like a new gaming system... I don't think that it's very unfair to release a new system just cause everyone has the OLD one... so what?! You shelled out 50-60 bucks for the Sims and Livin' Large, right? And since they combined it to only make it cost FORTY dollars AND include features that YOUR Sims don't have, you naturally get mad because you already have both the games but you want the extra features without having to pay forty dollars. It's simple: turn in your original Sims game for a ten dollar rebate when you buy the game so it only costs 30 dollars! OR, be (now I know that some of you haven't heard this word before) GENEROUS and give away the Sims and Livin' Large and buy the Deluxe... or, *gasp*,better YET, just sell them on E-bay or in your local newspaper together for about 15-20 dollars and then buy the game for only essentially 20-25$!
Anyhow, I haven't played this game, but since I HAVE played the Sims and Livin' Large, I would MOST DEFINITELY reccommend this to those that haven't purchased the Sims or Livin' Large! C'mon, go out and make your friends with the ORIGINAL Sims jealous! ;)

this game is simulated life. Why is it "fun" to do the dishes in a game, but not in real life? who cares? it is! so, but now or die now.

Very Monotonous

I bought this game a few weeks ago expecting a game I could play all summer. I got bored with it in three days. All you do on this game is tell your Sim to eat, sleep, go to work, take a shower, use the toilet, and watch TV. While your Sim is at work or sleeping you watch the time go by. The graphics are horrible. You can hardly see your Sim. The only fun things in this game are that you get to build your houses and make out with girls. You do the same things every day. Don't waste your money on this game. The Sims 2 is much, much better.

Knew it!

I jut knew this was going to happen! There's a huge craze and everyone buys it, then they come out with a better version. Might as well say "No one buy this it will come out again better!" It's a total rip! : -(

Fabulous!

This game is sooo cool. You can build your own house! You can even create your own character, and make her/him move around the house. You can put furniture in it also. Then you can make out in romance, then get married Then have babys, the babys grow up and so on and so forth. Well anyways. Its a real cool game! You should get it!

A bunch of boring nonsense

I HATE ALL SIMS GAMES!!!! Listen ppl!! The game is just incredibly boring! Whoop de doo da.. I'm having so much fun watching my Sim stare at a TV screen with a still picture on it!! O JOY!!! Get with it.. the game is plain bogus ok..if u wanna play god..I suggest another game... Trust me I've [bought] 2 expansion packs and the original Sims (and I'm 13 so u can guess that took away pretty much my whole fortune).

Like other reviewers said, there is always something missing in the Sims...something that makes it just not worth your money... and no matter how many new objects, or pets, or downtown areas Maxis is gonna come up with, there will always be a hole in the Sims. And that hole won't ever be filled. Why?? Because it doesnt have an ending. It has absolutely no point whatsoever! ...I assure u you'll be ticked off at the huge amount of memory it takes up.

To sum it all up..It's expensive, takes up too much space, fries ur brain, gets annoying, has no point, and is an overrated...

Fun stuff

The Sims Deluxe Edition is absolutely awesome. It's too bad that it didn't come out before I bought the original The Sims because this has both that and Livin' Large. That would've saved me some money. It also has The Sims Creator, which allows people to create their own characters and their own outfits and heads. It's really awesome. I would definitely recommend it to any Sims fan. :)
