A Great Deal!

I originally bought the Sims as the original version. But, after my dog chewed it past playable points, I am currently investing in Double Deluxe. Being a former Sims player, I know the tricks of the game's trade and what's what. This game is a big what!

It is an EXCELLENT deal, as it includes two of the most beloved expansion packs of the game's time. Installs like a dream compared to the long, boring hassles of buying them separate. It also leaves you with six expansion packs to buy rather than a whopping eight (original) or seven (Deluxe) At first I had my doubts, but this game was a breeze for one of my classmates to install, and you can get playing very soon. The Sims Creator is a must-have for skin designer as well. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

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!

listen up you sims fans!!!!!!!!

this is a very cool game.
my fave is the sims houseparty.
let me start by telling you about each expansion pack.
houseparty:really cool fleresent colors such as neon and bright orange.throw parties dance and such.
livin large:get your sims into weird situations
such as alien attacks and such.
double deluxe:NOTE SOME CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR kids 12 AND UNDER what i mean by that is like there is a cake and a stripper comes out of it but just like sims deluxe but more items and feautures.

. . . . . . . . . wow!

This game is the best I've played yet. The most addictive, too. If you have ever played a Tycoon game (Zoo Tycoon, Rollercoaster Tycoon, etc.) you will have an idea of what this game is like. You have several Neighborhoods which are each a file. In each file there are about ten lots where you Sim families can live. You can design a family of up to eight people, and give them their own personality. You can choose how Neat, Outgoing, Active, Playful, and Nice they are. Then you control thier lives and lead them into success or poverty.

Buy a pre-built house or design your own. The building tools are great, allowing you to build up to two stories and decorate your home with all different kinds of flooring and wallpaper.

Once you've got your house, it's time to furnish it. There many are different types of each item, like couches and chairs. You can buy a cheap sofa, or a more expensive one. To keep you Sims content, you'll want to buy items to fill each of these bars: Hunger, Comfort, Hygiene, Bladder, Energy, Fun, Social, Room.

Each item ups at least one of these bars. If a Sim's Social or Fun bars are too low, the Sims will become depressed and won't do certian things, like go to work. If you let their Hunger bar go into the red zone, they WILL die. They can also die from fire and other things, but it's very easy to prevent that from happening.

To get your Sims a job, have them look in the paper or search their computer (if they have one). You can even improve their job skills at home to get them a raise.

I would recommend this game to anyone over ten. There is some sexual content, since Sims of the opposite sex with good relationships can kiss and do other things. When they get dressed, they sort of spin around and presto, their clothes change. When going to the bathroom or into the shower, a blurred spot appears over their private spots and disappears once they are dressed again.

This game, although fun, can be frustrating at times. Some gamers may have difficulty keeping their Sims happy. But once you get the hang of it, you'll have a great time!

This is to answer your question, "a gamer"

No it would not make any sense to buy this one if you already have house party and sims deluxe it is just the two put together. Save your mone and buy another expansion pack (or save up for the sims2). Hope that helped.

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?

This is GREAT!!!

This is an awsome game (well at least the regular one is) I love being in so much control. This is a great game for power hungry people =) BUT... if you don't have a computer that can download things or a computer that can handle all the EP's (expansion packs) than it's not worth it. I don' t think it's very fun if you can't explore new places or do new things like in the EP's. If you do get it you'll get tired of it VERY quickly, BUT... if you go to www.c-and-c-enterprises.com you can get some awsome downloads that will help spice up the game. Here is what I think of the EP's I have
Superstar * * * *
It's HARD to become a superstar!!
Makin Magic * * * * *
I love earning crystals!
Unleashed * * * *
I Love the pets but it was a little dissapointing cuz u can't do much w/ them

Thanks for reading! I hope this helped!
