I am a Sims2 junkie. I have all the expansion packs and spend far too much of my time playing the game and downloading custom content for it. When I heard about this new line of games, I was skeptical. But I am SO glad I got it. Playing in story mode is super cute and I really enjoyed it. It was nice to have a scaled down version of the game that loads quickly but offers lots of in game options and fun.

I highly recommend this game! I can't wait for the next one!

This is a very fun game. I really enjoy playing this game. The EA crew has outdone themselves again. If you like to play the Sims, I would suggest that you purchase this game.

ALRIGHT SIMS!!!!

This game is great, It is totally different in play from the original Sims Game. It is more like the console versions with goals to complete. It has a goal version with two (2) stories, and free play mode where you can build your own houses. This game also plays in it's very own window so if you want to e-mail, or instant message your friends you can. Electronic Arts out did themselves this time. Great Game, I love it.

Great...

Intertaining and perfect for laptop. From comparing the item with other computer games I have to say price is a bit too high for the item. 30$ ... that's the price I would suggest for it.
But it was very interesting to see what would be the end to each story that the game provided.
I enjoyed the game.

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!!

I have enjoyed every moment of the sims life stories, it is very easy to adjust even if you have never played the sims games before. The game is real laptop friendly and the control are easy to use. There also things that occur in the game on laptop that do not happen on the pc. Playing the story mode helps you learn new and old tricks to playing the game. So enjoy the game and relax with it

It you like Sims 2 but it crashes your computer try this!

I tried playing Sims 2 on my laptop two years ago, but it was sloooooowwww. It would freeze and crash, it was impossible! This game is very similar, just not expandable. You can play in Freeplay which is just like Sims 2, or you can play the storylines. Riley's was cute, but I really enjoyed Vincent's, it is laugh out loud funny. If you have ever dated people from the internet you can really relate to Vincent. I completed the Vincent storyline, and have been free playing him for weeks now, having him marry various people within the game and of my own creation. He has built quite the legacy. I have been giving him Elixir of Life, and he has lived an extremely long time. Call me sentimental, I just can't let him die.

I would love it if EA would release a lot more of these Laptop Friendly Sim's games. I would like a nightlife type one, or something more bizarre. How about Sims in different places in history? Romans? No electricity, come on!

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.

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.
