OK, I'm probably going to have to uninstall this game until I'm done with college because once you start playing it you can't stop, and then you end up failing your classes, forgetting to eat or sleep, and then wasting away to nothing. But it's fun though! The new architecture is great and there are some really interesting skins and some fun objects(for those of you who have never played the sims, skins are the faces, clothes, etc. you put on your little sims people). In one neighborhood we have a couple of gay matadors, a house full of superheros, and a garden gnome factory. Great fun.

Great marketing EA

You would expect this and finally they came out with a deluxe edition instead of buying two seperate games. It is a great deal, cheaper than the sims alone. This comes with The one that started it all "The sims" and livin large. With neighborhoods and the people and you control their lives, by being messy or clean. Being married and having kids or single. You can oick jobs like police officers, or even a job in the military. If you have these two packs then don't buy it...........

But wait, marketing comes in because they add new stuff exclusive to only this pack and nowhere else like furniture. So they make you have to buy this pack. That is why their stock is so high! This pack DOES not include the other 1,000 expansion packs. Great marketing EA, smart people, well they are located in Redwood City. In the Silicon Valley, the heart of where technology is...

The best game.....EVER...

I just recently got into the Sims, though it has been out for a while and there are many fans. I got the Sims Deluxe edition for Christmas and have been playing it non stop- it is strangely addicting and obsessive.

The Sims deluxe edition includes the original sims game, living large expansion pack and the sims creator. These allow you to create your own families, neighborhoods and even your own sim character. You can even create up to 4 or 5 different neighborhoods..each with their own personalities.

The fun of the sims is that you get to create your family, move into a home or build a home and help them run or ruin their lives. Your sims obey your commands on when to eat, sleep, socialize, bathe etc.

There are different career paths that your sim can do...earning money, advancing or even getting fired if you miss too much work. Advancing in your job depends on the skills that you acquire, the friends you make and luck.

Alot of the fun is the interaction between your sims...make them friends, room mates, married...even enemies. Your ultimate relationship depends on your interactions..talk, gossip, hug, kiss..its all up to you.

Because this also includes the living large expansion pack, you can create even bigger houses with better objects, more characters, better themes. Create a love nest or a castle...its up to you.

Great for newcomers...

If you have yet to catch onto the Sims, this is EXACTLY where you need to start. If you already own the Sims, don't buy this pack. The 50 or so things it contains that weren't in the original will be in the new Superstar expansion. Otherwise you really ought to pick up a copy of this.

Well, I have to admit I've really never gotten to get a Sims game, but when I dee something like this, it's super. I can have all the fun with the original game, and expansion pack, and skin creater, for less than half the price thengetting each seperate. I guess it was worth it to wait. So get this, it's a great value, fun, and customizable so what are you waiting for!

the greatest sims of all

OK, I borrowed this game from my friend. I was confused at first but, I got the hang of it. It's really catchy. It's the BEST game I've ever played.I gave it back to my friend, but everytime I see her, I ask her if I can borrow it again!! I LOVE the game. It's cool how you can build houses and stuff. One thing that I don't like is that if you have to Sims (male and female) living in the same house when you start the game, you cannot make the guy propose to the girl :( but that's the only thing I would change. When I got it, I played for HOURS on end. I would not stop!! I wish she would give it to me. She's coming over tonight ...I think ...

great game for CONTROL FREAKS

This game has brought my grandson many hours of pure CONTROL fun.
There are some limits, that are sometimes, frustrating, like the prices, they remind me of the original MONOPOLY. However, Rosebud comes to the rescue, which makes it seem more modern, since most people are living on credit cards, anyway. They have set up the game to make the characters speak their own language, SIMLISH, it sounds like gibberish, and is really annoying!
IT IS SOMEWHAT educational, however, because it causes a person
to consider the things that are necessary, to live in the real world.

[4.5 Stars] One of My Favorite Games!

I recieved this game as a birthday present this March and I must say that I am very pleased. The Sims: Deluxe Edition is the original Sims with the Livin' Large expansion pack.

I played The Sims at a friend's house about a year ago, and since then, I've wanted to get it. I never got around to getting it until I got it as a gift. I have really enjoyed the Sims: Deluxe Edition.

There's lots of really neat furniture and goodies to mess around with. Call me sick, but I also like it when you can get a couple to "play" in the heart-shaped vibrating bed...hehe.

I would have given The Sims: Deluxe Edition 5 stars, but there were a few things bugging me. I don't like how one character an't do a certain thing or go somewhere they want to go, because there's a clog in the hallway or something. You have to make your hallways larger than normal so that all the sims can get past each other. Also, I don't like how a neighboor will come over to visit at 3 am. They'll stay all night; eating your food, watching your television and sleeping in your beds. I can be old-fashioned. And that has just been bugging me.

Overall, I like this game a lot. It's very entertaining and highly addictive. I recommend it imesnsly.

If you are looking for a fun {hard} strategy game this is it. There are tons of stuff you can buy and an almost endless amount of things you can do. You can use codes to make the game even more fun. You can also creat families and build houses. Your sims also need jobes and the kids needs to go to school or be sent to military school.{ha ha} Well this isn't even close to telling you everything about the sims. So like I said if you are looking for a good fun {hard} strategy game this is it. HAVE FUN
