As an obssessed SiMS fan, I was not let down at all by this expansion. Besides providing the obvious option of adding pets to your SiM family, The SiMS UNLEASHED also adds new heads, clothes, furniture, and building options. In addition, an entire new town layout is included. Now, instead of one 10-lot neighborhood for residents only, the player may build in "Old Town" lots. These community lots give you the option of building (or destroying) shops, pet adoption agencies, cafes, parks, and pretty much any other public lot imaginable (if you use your creativity). To truly make the game cater to you, lots can be switched from community (public) lots to residential lots by simply clicking the re-zoning button.
The new building options include three styles of spiral staircases and many unique fences. New windows, doors, floors, and wallpapers are also beautiful and interesting.
One of my favorite aspects of the SiMS UNLEASHED were the many new clothing styles. The outfits included are finally stylish and some I even wish were real, so that I could wear them.
Many reviewers have complained that the game was slow. I have all of the expansions (except Vacation) that are avaliable for Macs (The SiMS, The SiMS Livin' Large, The SiMS House Party, and The SiMS Hot Date) installed on my computer and I did not find the slowness unbearable or frustrating.
The only problem that I've found in the game is the pet bath basin. It simply does not work. However, the pets function fine a little dirty and at least it's true to life (stinky dogs)!
Overall, I believe this expansion is the best so far (although I am waiting on The SiMS Superstar). Why do us Mac users always have to wait? Anyway, if you are going to buy any expansion for you SiMS, I would strongly reccommend The SiMS UNLEASHED!

Unleashed...Only there were some small problems

I bought Unleashed as only a step up to buying Makin' Magic, so I didn't really have any expectations of it to start off with. I wish Aspyr and Electronic Arts could make a game that didn't contain some small problem that annoys the heck out of me. With Unleashed it was the inability to adopt a pet from Old Town after the first time and have the pet trainer train it. Fortunately this is fixable with a patch from Aspyr, but unfortunately when I reinstalled it I forgot to download the patch before I installed Makin' Magic. Luckily I remembered that one of the websites I used to frequent before it became a pay site (http://www.simslice.com) had something that could sort of fix my problem.

My only words of advice are: After installing any of the Sims games search on the one of the main Sims websites, Aspyr, to see if there is an update or patch.

This is the best game in the whole world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the coolest game in the world. I already have the sims Livin' Large but this is a much better expansion pack. The pets are cool butyou can't get them to really do anything. They really pee alot too. The gardening is awesoem in my opinion, but remember once you store your crops you cannot sell them.

$$$$$

Ok. Bad things first. NO LARGE PETS! I personaly love horses so that is a downside. But........... The animals are adorable. what sim could live without PETS? What I think is although it is slow to start with, you redownload it, its lightning quick, and you love the game. ahh well. on a scale of 1-10, 10 being best, here are a few things that I think are significant:
graphics-10_same as usual, love the same
speed-9_slow at first. speedy later

ok... that's it. I know I wasn't very helpful on what you do in the game.. it's just... almost every other one does. well.... not really but there are a few. Please get it....... its worth every penny.
cuteness-10+
nessecity for you to buy it-10
price-10

ps only get it if you are a sims fan

Unleashing the fury on my iBook!

The game itself seems great. The pets are adorable, and I love the idea of an expanded neighborhood. My problem? Every time I attempt to go Downtown or to Old Town, the damn game crashes. Reinstalls and removal of all downloaded files does nothing. This is a bit frustrating for one who has played these games on PC without a hitch.
You'd think a G3 700 MHz iBook with 640 MB of ram would be more than enough power for this game, but even when I boot up and don't do anything else, the game crashes. Is it too much to ask that they provide a product we can use?

Cool!

I love this game every time i get a chance I get on the computer and play it but it has two bad parts about it 1)you have to wait until every memeber of the house gets back from either work or school and 2) you can't control the pets at all but u can get them to move. I would of gave this game a 4.2 but that doesn't exist on Amazon so I gave it a 5

This is a cool expansion pack. I love it! I like to get pets and stuff. The only bad thing is, you can't control the pets. They are so cute! I liked all the new objects and stuff. It just makes the game all the more addicting.
