Great for laptops

I think people are missing the point of this game. If you are looking for the sims 2 then go buy the sims 2 and expansion packs. I bought this game because the sims 2 won't work on my laptop. This game works great! Yes, it is a really basic version of the sims, but thats what I needed. It does not slow down my laptop at all, and I can play whenever I like, not just on my pc.

For those wondering: This game is only 1 cd, not 4 like the regular sims 2. That should tell you right there how much less space it takes up on your laptop. I still have plenty of space to save my papers and notes for classes, and even install more games (I LOVE Zoo Tycoon as well).

The stories may be short or whatever, but I think people are completely misunderstanding what the creators were aiming for. Eventually I think these games will have expansion packs, and I am excited they have already launched a new website with a few downloads. In the future I am hoping for an exchange just like the regular sims 2 website has.

This was a waste of time and money

I bought this game not knowing that there were so many problems getting it to run. I have found online that a number of people have had problems with it. I never did get my computer to run the game so it appears I have wasted my money. It would be nice if there was a warning that there are so many glitches with this game and apparently other games by the same company. I am very disappointed.

It was a good game.

Overall I really enjoyed this game. It was fun to have goals to complete as far as the game goes. But it would've been nice to have more than just 2 stories to go with. It also really didn't give many options. But overall I enjoyed playing it.

I LOVE SIMS!

I love Sims and I think this game was a great addition to the collection. I would play Sims Complete Collection first if you haven't played this game or Sims2 yet. That's just my recommendation as a hard core Sims lover. This is definatly my favorite Sims yet for PC or systems.

Sims Life Stories

I had fun with this. It is easy to do and entertaining. You can use it on free play too if you don't want to work out the stories. I only with there were more stories to play on it. Works well on my lap top.

Well...

I completely agree with Sherry Berry's review - everything about it is accurate. I really enjoyed the goal mode, but it's so short! If you play this game and enjoy the goal mode, go get The Sims: Bustin' Out or The Sims 2 for a console! I have The Sims 2 for the Gamecube and it has a goal mode. Not as... story based as Life Stories, but a LOT more to do. Here's hoping the island castaway one is more fun!

Eh, Alright

Well, I knew this game would be a bit structured. Meaning, don't expect free reign in this game like in regular Sims games. I liked that idea until I began to play it. I hate that the controls seem so much more difficult than almost any other game that I have played. It is a pain to move around in game, so much so that I have to quit playing because I get so irritated. If they would work on the control aspect of the game, it would improve this game quite a bit.

Great for first time sims

I had never played a sims game prior to this one and I found it incredibly fun and addicting. However like another review states you can't reset the game to zero with out moving or deleting the file. All in all it is great. I don't necessarily like controlling 2 or more at a time gets to confusing and hard to keep all happy. I think when you get married you should only controll yourself and take care of everyone else like you did to have a love or so. All in all good though.

SIMply Addicting!!!

I love this game. I don't know how anyone couldn't. My favorite part is having twins. Of course you have to cheat, but it's fun having more babies than your supposed to. ha! (once your pregnant and before you have the baby->hold ctrl+shift+c and enter forcetwins, then hit enter your carrying twins!) Don't worry parents. It's nothing like you think. Everything is blurred. When having the baby, the woman stands up, moans and groans alot and kinda twirls around a few times, then bam there's the baby. Very clean and child friendly.
I have beaten both stories. But you still have so much to do. It's so much fun. There's endless possibilities with this game!!

So...What's new?

I purchased this at Target thinking that this was an expansion pack for the sims 2, but all you do in Life Stories is play the lives of a couple of pre-designed characters. Now, if I'm going to play the life of a character, it's going to be my own where I can decide where they are going to go. There's nothing here that I couldn't have done on the sims 2. Don't waste your money. Buy the Nightlife or Pets expansions instead.
