Topsy turvy

There's two sides, you either like it or don't. Im in the middle. I belive its a great idea, but you cant keep your current families and have to make new ones. They should make it so you can keep your old families and data, so its a topsy turvy idea.

Boring!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get the hype. The most fun about this game is building the home and decorating it. After that I lose interest. I don't need to see simulated people wake up, go to work, have dinner, bathe etc. I see enough of that in my own life. Personally I wish the game was more R-rated. Their actions are all done standing up so they never sit on the couch and hug and kiss for example. I named the charactors after my husband and I and we both ended up dying in a fire. I would suggest getting Zoo Tycoon instead. You at least have a goal to work towards when you do the scenarios.

TOTALLY unfair

I think Maxis was being VERY unfair to their loyal customers who have bought all their products. They should have made a game like this when they first developed the sims. I will be sure to NOT ENCOURAGE people to buy this expansion pack. If I could, I would rate this expansion pack zero stars. >:(

Dissapointing

I'm 12 years old and I found it a very big dissapointment. There isn't a lot of new furniture you can buy and it is mostly a roman theme to it. I was happy with the new clothes selection though. I didn't like The Sims Creator. I thought you were able to design your sim body type, as in skinny, short, fat. You can't all you can do is make the clothes which are awful.I was very unhappy with this product and I do think that Maxis can do much better. I'm not sure if I would recommend this game? If you want to be dissapointed I guess. But, if you want some new clothes you could get it if you want to.
I hope this helped with your decision on buying this game.

Completely Aggravating

This game is completely aggravating. The characters do not do what you want, especially if they are miserable, which is usually all the time. They let you know this by waving at the camera. It is difficult to keep all of their needs met expecially when they have to go to the bathroom, take a shower or eat every five minutes. It takes them so long to complete a task that it is time to go to bed. It is hard to maintain relationships, especially when you have to go to the bathroom or take a shower or eat every five minutes. They do not know enough to move objects out of the way. they will not do what you command if something or someone is blocking them. The neighbors come in uninvited eat uninvited and are impossible to get to leave. It is impossible to operate all of the characters and make them happy. You get one happy, another one is miserable, has to go to the bathroom ar take a shower. Once they go to the bathroom someone else has to go to the bathroom or go to bed. With more than one character I am contantly having my characters go to the bathroom or take a shower, there is no time to do anything else. There is also the problem with the clown. If your characters are unhappy he shows up and will not leave. Plus they have more problems using the stove. The stove constantly catches on fire.

not what I thought

I wanted this game for Christmas and I got it. I wanted to have what everybody called "the best game ever". But sometimes I think I should've got something else.
I have Sim City 2000 and 3000 and I love them, so I thought I was going to love this one, too.
They say you play God, actually you play mom and dad. You have to tell your sims to take a bath, to go to bed, to clean after themselves, to get a job, to study, who to marry (like in the old times) etc, etc.
Their energy level goes down very fast and it goes up too fast also. .
I sure dislike the annoying sound of their tv. They repeat the same thing over and over.
I don't like making friends. You just make them talk and talk and talk. You have other options that are just as boring as talking.
I guess I need the other expansion packs, like Hot Date and Vacation, to make the game more exciting because I've tried everything. I've given them the perfect life, I've killed a bunch of them so I could have a graveyard and ghosts wondering around and spooking people, I've let them do what they want to see how much trash they can pile inside their houses, I even had a guy who married 6 times and had 6 kids, I also had a family of just kids. I've done lots of things, but the game is still boring.

The Sims that did not come!

I am sure this is a great program, but ordered it from "Bargin Depot" and after 40 days have never seen it. They charge your credit Card and Rip you off. Check out the other ratings I am not alone.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!

Giving this one star is much more than it deserves!! We purchased this game for Christmas for our 12 yr. old son...Call me old-fashioned but this certainly does not represent what we want our child to play. Ex: marry more than 1 sim (polygamy)just try another marriage without divorce, move in with same sex sim, sleep with whomever (child/adult), love triangle etc. I encourage parents to monitor this type of junk being sold to our impressionable children. Please read the instruction booklet,especially pages 31-35 and then decide if you want your child playing this type of trash...

...hmmm, what will they think of next...

I own pretty much all of the Sims except Hot Date and Online, and when I got this I thought I would be getting a lot more than I did.
1. I got to wait at least 7 hours for it to install.
2. When playing Sims Creator, I got to wait another hour for the outfits to load.
3. When playing the game, I got to experience freezing. How fun.
4. I also got to experience blackouts. By the way, unless your computer is plugged into a lightswitch, you won't be able to use it for a while.
5. I got to experience a VERY VERY VERY FEW new items, such as a purple bed.
6. As a result, I got to experience anger, because I was told somewhere that these items would be put on the Sims SuperStar, which I Have bought but have not been able to play yet, because..
7...I got to experience LOW MEMORY, because of the 7 hours of installing.
8. I got to experience complete dissatisfaction because Sims Creator is NOT FUN and I own Livin Large and the Sims.
9. I got to experience dissapointment, because I had spent 50 stinkin' dollars on a game I already owned, practically.
10. I got to experience pain, because I slapped myself in the face 50 times, (one for each dollar :) ).

So as you can see, the only thing this is useful for is a nice, shiny coaster for your favorite coffee table. Not exactly what you had in mind, huh?

Great for new players!

... The added features only made me want it more along with the added expansion, that i would have normally had to buy otherwise ...

The point is, that "I" feel cheated because i didnt buy this great game sooner... i missed out on two years of great gaming. Only now i have a few added prizes to lure me in.

Anyways to anyone like me who has "wondered" about the sims for all this time. Go out and buy this version, and look for the sims online due out in october - november sometime.
