This is one of my personal favorite GameCube games. If you enjoyed the PC version then you will love this version. I have already spent many hours in front of my TV playing and look forward to playing even more.
Cant get far

Well I do have to admit it is fun at first in Get A Life (single player story mode). But on the 3rd level it suddenly jumps to a horrendous pain in the back (can't say what I want to say here). You are somehow supposed to level your character's job level, throw a party (may I add it must be a good party), make a friend at the party and ask to move in with them, and keep watch on your stats. The stats are the biggest problem because your character needs you to tell him/her what to do and when to do it, so basically they will wet themselves if you dont tell them to take a bathroom brake. But also your stats screw with improving your job because he won't practice/workout/etc. if something is too low in his stats. Also it is very difficult to throw a good party whe you need to work, and keep watchin your stats (this word's startin to bug me). I hope this helps you make the right decision, but if you go your own way and beat level 3, tell me how lol.
YES! Finally a game you have to have!

If you liked SIMS for PC, you will love it for GameCube! It's everything you would want in a SIMS game and more. Complete with scenerios in GET A LIFE mode and Multiplayer modes, its a hardcore sims player's dream! It's not easy and not too hard. IF THERE IS A PERFECT GAME OUT THERE, THIS IS THE ONE!
ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER

the sims is one of the best games ever. It is a little hard to get used the controls at first but just keep playing i am sure you will get addicted as i. So realistic just like my life. Everything you could ever imagine is in this game. It may be a little challenging but definitely worth it. EXCELLENT GAME!
Superb !

This game is highly addictive, I'm sure that most of you already played the PC version. This one has better graphics, more items, and a brand new Get a Life mode in which you actually have missions. Any one that's a fan of Simulation games or The Sims should get this game right away.
Great Game

The Sims is a really great game to play and very fun but before you buy it make sure you have a 251 block memory card because the game takes up 60 blocks. If you don't have the 251 memory card it might not be worth the extra $... but if you have the memory card I would definintly reccomend this game.
After 4 years it's still the best!

I have went out annd bought every Sims on console, from The Sims 1 to The Sims 2: Pets, and guess which one was never beat? The Sims 1, of course. Why did EA just decide to do everything their own way?
The Graphics are actually pretty good but I have seen better. They still have that over-head bird's eye view, not exactly a first person's perspective of view. Nevertheless, it is still good enough. You still can see a lot of jaggies that were left over from the Ps2 version. The objects aren't that bright.
There seriously was a lack of objects in this game. Only 4 doors and 5 windows. And close to 50 miscallenous objects. Really should have put more work into the objects and build mode objects. Oh well, who can blame them? They had to do a lot of work making a completely new game.
The Skins are actually nice. Way more skins than in the PC version. And some that I would love to see in the PC version. They were a lot more creative with the skins in this game than they were in the PC version. That makes sense, since we can't just download skins off the internet. The Wii might be able to do that! Sorry, I just had to say that.
For kids there was a pathetic amount of objects and skins for them. I guess it's because nobody really cares about them since they really don't do much in the game. They seriously should have given the kids way more interactions, but it is fun seeing them play tag and run all over the place... really cute. There aren't many interactions for kids. The kids are extremely limited in this game. They just stand around the place crying over some people who didn't talk to them.
The careers... ehhhhhhhhhh... not really great since there are ONLY three jobs which was a disappointment. What about climbing career tree? That was a challenge a lot of people liked in the game. It was hard enough getting promotions since sims seem to find a way to make us really angry by just finding something really small that we could easily walk over and stomping there and shouting some gibberish. The only careers are, The Entertainment Path- Be a Waitress at the beginning, The Daredevil Path, be a Bungee Jump Instructor at the start, The Military Path- Be a Recruit at the beginning.
And for some reason, I just don't like the capitalized letters for the name. I know that's silly but when there's this menu saying "Your funds are high, LEELA's moods are not, why don't you get some objects for LEELA to get her happy?" it just doesn't match. I know it's silly and extremely insignificant but for some reason it bothers me. But oh well, at least there are names!
This is the BEST...

This is da bomb compared to the PC version. This Sims game has better graphics,more challenging concepts. The fist or second levels are pretty easy.The Third level and on are harder.
