SIM GAMES ALL IN ONE! SIMS HOT DATE, HOUSE PARTY, LIVIN' LARGE, AND THE SIMS!

Tons of fun with each game that blow your mind. Build your own houses, people, and use up all your money for furniture, electronics, pools, and so many more! Cant forget about your bills!

SIMS HOT DATE:
Kiss, kiss, and kiss! Lol. Not just that, so many things you can do with the two love ones can go out on a date and just do everything together. Take them out to dinner, parks and go shopping! Dont worry, you can still do the regular things like building, people, etc. like on THE SIMS.

HOUSE PARTY:
PART-AY!! If so, invite friends and family over for the biggest time of your life. Dance floors, dance cages, DJ booth, etc. Let your Sims change into new clothing and let them dance like country, rap, and more!

LIVIN' LARGE:
See new things in place such as the grim reaper, robots that clean your house, genie in a bottle that comes out to ask you for your wish. (Once I even got abducted by aliens by looking into the telescope! Lol) New things to be such as a musician and a journalist.

THIS IS RATED T FOR TEEN FOR EACH SIMS! SOME THINGS MIGHT NOT BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN. OTHER THAN THAT, TEENS GET OUT THERE AND BUY THIS A-SAP!

I purchased the Double Deluxe version and thought I was getting a great deal. I should have waited for THIS one! It's got the best expansion packs you'll ever want. Superstar, Unleashed, Makin' Magic, they're all according to taste, but this is a definitive set for TheSims. If you want to play TheSims, this is the package to buy. It's not 3D graphics, but it plays beautifully and is a FUN way to kill time. Two thumbs up from me!

Wow

This is a better deal but of course if u got double deluxe u probably got it around christmas i forgot how to spell christmas which was a long time ago. but this is still great it would have been better if they just put the game out in chrismas but they r money hungry jerks. but come on how hard is it to make a sims game that comes with three games not 1 not 2 but 3 that would have been a lot better and of course the new sims is coming out in two months on the same day as my b-day. mega deluxe probably didnt have any sales really because why buy the sims now why not buy sims 2 in a couple of months.now on to the game

liven large:great fun,i think in this one u can have gay marriges lol u will find out how fun liven large is but i still think superstar is better and makin magic.

hot date: u can download make a date on thesims.com which u can make the perfect date or just make a jerk. and if u dont want to be married to someone what i would do is kill them of like rats.

house party: a lot easyer to make friends because partys r easyer to throw. u just go to the phone and it should say throw party or somthin like that and try to have a good party or the mime will come which the guests dont like to much and what i have heard is that the mime steals stuff i dont no if it is true.

hope u buy the sims and the sims 2 or at least just the sims 2.

it is boring

this game is boring. if you want a good game dont get a simulator, especialy a life simulator, if your "mood bar" gets really low you cant get the people happy again unless you move wich makes no sense, i think if your depressed and you move you will be more depressed, when you move you have to buy all new stuff. THis game suck and it is very boring

Entertaining but becomes boring and/or frustrating quickly

The Sims - more of the same with each expansion pack: Pick an individual or a group of individuals, move them into a house, get them some very basic furniture, send them to work, buy more furniture, try to keep them entertained, make them study cooking and/or other subjects, make sure they make friends with their neighbors so that they get promoted and earn more money so that can improve their house... and so on, and so on.

I admit that I have never managed to make my Sims happy without using cheat codes. They don't start with enough money ("Simoleons") to buy quality furniture, which means they don't get enough rest, entertainment, nourishment, etc. That leaves them depressed and tired, which in turn keeps them from studying and/or exercising, which means that they don't get promoted and don't earn enough money to buy better furniture.

Then there is the issue of friends: your Sims need friends in order to be happy and also to get promoted. Once your Sim has made friends with someone, the relationship needs nurturing, otherwise your Sim loses friendship points and eventually the relationship itself. Making friends isn't hard, but keeping the relationship going is - especially if your Sim has to work. There are only so many hours in a Sim's day, and especially in the beginning, those hours are spent working, studying, preparing meals, sleeping, etc.

My main criticism, however, is that their children never grow up. How boring! The game would be much more interesting if they became teenagers and wreaked havoc on the neigborhood!

Awesome deal

If you ever considered getting the Sims. This is the set to buy. Back when my sisters and I started playing it was around $40 dollars for the original game and then $20-$30 for each expansion (and we got them all up to Unleashed). The only reason I didn't rate it higher is because with the Sims 2 coming out it will quickly be obsolete but if your computer can't handle the Sims 2, I would still recommend this.

Great Bargain

If for some reason you don't own The Sims, now's your time to buy it. The Sims Deluxe, includes The Sims and three expansion packs - Livin' Large, House Party, and Hot Date. This is an excellent bargain because for about the same price two years ago, you could only buy The Sims. It's definitely worth the money and you should get a lot of fun out of this game like I did.

In case you didn't know, The Sims is a real-life simulator where you have the ability to create and run your own family of Sims and build and furnish the houses they live in. This game is a lot of fun because the gameplay is virtually limitness - you can do pretty much whatever you want with your Sims - you can give them a great job with tons of money, you can marry your neighbour and start a family, or you could purposely set your house on fire! Anything's possible on The Sims. The object of the game is to keep your Sims' happy, while entertaining yourself as well. There are many household items that you can buy and your Sims can interact with these in their house. Some items, such as refridgerators, showers, beds, and toilets, fill Sims' needs so that they can be in the best mood possible. Your Sims can work and bring home the bacon to buy new things for their home, or they can slack off and watch the unpaid bills roll in!

The expansion packs are as follows:

Livin' Large - The first ever Sims expansion comes with many new items, many decor styles, new skins for your Sims, new career possibilities and a whole lot more. This one's a must for any Sims player.

House Party - Your Sims have the ability to throw parties! Along with many cool new items and skins, your Sims can throw parties that can balloon, or bust, depending or what kind of a good host your Sim is! If your party is good enough, you might get a celebrity over to your Sims' house...

Hot Date - Your sims can finally leave their homes! The new "Downtown" area is a place where Sims can take their dates, eat, shop, or just chill.

All the expansion packs are highly worthwhile, and will extend the amount of things to do on The Sims. The only complaints I have are minor ones - The isometric graphics are a little outdated after 4 years, but they still provide the same fun experience. The sounds remain pretty much the same, except for some new music in House Party and Hot Date (The sim-language rap from House Party is great! (kind of...)

Although this game might not be for everyone, I still highly recommend that you try it out, who knows, it might be for you, it might not be for you, but if it is for you, you'll probably spend a lot of waking hours playing this! You can thank me later.

The Best Game Ever: But Don't Think of Buying It Now

The Sims is quite frankly the best computer game for the PC. However, unless you're totally out of it, its power-packed sequel (The Sims 2) is coming out in just a few short weeks. So don't buy the original now, you'll only be sad you did. Check out The Sims 2 on amazon.
