This wuz okay but I found myself sitting on the computer for hours trying to make some fake girl fall in love with some fake guy. When I told my older sister I liked the game alot she brought me back to reality. Its just a computer game. When I grow up Ill never be able to use a cheat code to get money!This is a bad influence!

Fun

First off I'd like to say that I am reviewing this version of The Sims because it is the one I have become most familiar with. Like other reviewers have said, it can be highly addictive. I have seen the life of my teenage cousin become completely enmeshed with this game. Just a word of caution to parents who are thinking of buying this game for their kid-PLEASE don't let them become so addicted that they forget their own life! I'm not saying the game can't be fun or that there is something wrong with it, I'm just suggesting a healthy balance between game time and real life. In the game you can can create families, neighborhoods, friendships, and romances. You can get jobs, earn money, learn skills such as cooking, and have hobbies like playing piano or sculpting. Sounds alot like real life doesn't it? So while I'm not saying a child shouldn't play this game, encourage their real life too. Encourage them to watch REAL movies with their REAL friends, or to learn a new skill or hobbie, or maybe to just go outside and play!!

Well Worth The Price!

Just like the title states, this is well worth the price!
This includes the original The Sims, The Sims House Party EP, the Sims Livin' Large EP, some bonus objects, walls, and floors, and The Sims Creator tool.
If you don't have any of The Sims games, this is the perfect place to start. The Sims and the two EPs have so much stuff in it for a Sims novice, you won't need the other expansion packs for years! It's virtually impossible to get bored with infinitely many possibilities.
The Sims Creator is a program where you can make Sims skins. My sister is no artist but she made some pretty good Lord Of The Rings clothes for the LOTR heads she downloaded. It's a good thing to experiment with.
Buy this if you don't have it; you won't be sorry!

Good game with lots of neat objects and items. The iteractions are cool too. Everything you need to throw a great party. But you get bored of it after a while, and don't get it and plan on not spending more money on another expantion pack. The Sims Makin Magic, Bustin out, and Hot date give you a lot more to do so you are never in a position where all your mood bars are full and you dont have something to do.

Greatest PC deal/game of all time!!!

I first recieved Sims DOuble Deluxe as a Christmas gift. Much to my dismay i needed Windows XP to run it. I waited patiently and when the game did work, I found myself staying up late to play it!
First of all...
GRAPHICS 9/10
This game has some of the best graphics I've ever seen. Unlike other games it also does not need to load thest graphics.
GAMEPLAY 10/10
With fires, moods, and work, you are kept alert and on your toes. With buy and build mode, there is no limit to how big your home can be!
SOUNDS 8/10
The only problem...repetitive music. It's not bad, but not good either.
REPLAYABILITY 10/10
Like i said, you won't want to turn off the PC!
EXPANSION PACK ?/10
I haven't loaded it yet.
OVERALL 10/10
This is a great game and i think you would be a fool not to buy it if you can.
Need I say More?

I love it except for...

First off I have to say that I became one of those addicts after I first got this.I'd spend hours and hours playing it and playing it,trying to get my people happy and rich and so on.Its a really great game EXCEPT for those of us who get so addicted we wanna add on more expansion packs,such as oh say Hot Date.The Hot Date has enough problems on its own,I'm not saying it isn't fun but the sounds usually hard to get right if you can get sound on it.I tried to point on Hot Date after Double Deluxe and its just a pain.I've been doing nothing but installing and installing and nothing works,always telling me I've got the wrong CD or it wouldn't play for this reason or that reason.So my advise to you is that if you buy Double Deluxe,don't try to install the Hot Date Expansion Pack after it because thats just impossible.Oh yes,for those of you who can't seem to get it uninstalled,goto the Sims official website and download the SimsEraser.

the sims is great

Maxis has finally showed us a reason to stay home! The Sims, a simulation game,puts you in situations like never before! Create a character and build the house of your dreams! Or re-live your life by customizing your sim to look just like you with the sims creator.There's sooo many fansites with lots of downloads so its easier to find the theme you want.With 7 Ep's already out,you'll have more fun then you ever thought you could! But the reason why I gave this game four stars was because it gets too boring easily,and your kids/adults don't get older.But when the development of the sims2 is finished,it will surely take us to the next generation.
