Firstly, I had this game for over a year before I could actually get it WORKING. My first several tries were met with a series of errors that the customer support for the game couldn’t help me fix. It wasn’t until a few months ago that I tried to install it again that I was actually able to get it working… How I did it I’m not sure… I was just lucky and it decided to magically install without an error I guess…
Anyway I was finally able to play it at that point… The first problem with this game is load time… If you don’t have a fast computer you are going to be waiting for awhile… After that you have to figure out how to play… Out of all the Sims games I’ve played I’ve never had a harder time building a house as I did with this one… Unless you want to live without a roof you have to be very specific with your design so that “the house can support your roof”… It’s easier to forget the building creation and just set up a premade house…
The biggest problem I’ve always had with Sims games is that it doesn’t take but a week of playing to literally have done everything in the game… And that’s why there are so many expansions… You get tired of one game… Go buy the next $20 copy… And each expansion offers very little to make them worth buying… The content should be downloadable, and it shouldn’t cost $20…
To be honest I hate this game. It gets old really fast, and playing it for longer than a few hours burns it’s image in my mind and gives me headaches. Some people jump all over Sims games as being the “greatest idea ever” but I seriously regret wasting the $40 or $50 I spent on it over a year ago. It’s lame, it’s boring, it’s repetitive, and there are better things to waste your time and money on.

After reading so many great reviews I was looking forwarded to playing this game. When I got it home it took nearly 30 minutes to load. Since my computer is brand new with lots of speed and memory this did not bode well. Once installed I found that, even with the tutorial and manual, the instructions were lacking.
The manual told me that I could order groceries delivered to my sim’s house simply by calling. This option was not available to the sim I created. It also said that I could go to the store and by food. After spending most of my sim’s money on food I found that I couldn’t take it home. So all I could do was order pizza.
I like that you have so much control over the sim’s actions. I do not like that I have to tell it to do everything. At one point my sim told me it was tired and wanted to go to bed. At least that is my assumption from the picture of a bed that appeared in the thought balloon. So I told it to go to sleep. It laid down, got back up and again yelled at me that it was tired. After the fifth time it finally went to sleep. Then missed its ride to work and got fired. And There is the tilt and pan. I haven’t gotten that dizzy since the tea cups at Disneyland.
If you are a control freak or just like games that require you to constantly be making decisions for your character this is the game for you. For me it just is way too much work. I didn’t have as much trouble raising my son as I did controlling these sims.
I gave it 2 stars for fun because I enjoyed the experience of figuring out the controls.
I gave it 2 stars overall because it is well done but like I said way too much work.

The game won’t play on my computer. Book Mavericks have a 3 day guarantee and it was past that when I got the game, so they would not refund my money and said they did not have a replacement to send. I tried to talk to EA games about the problem and they said the drivers on my computer were out dated, as that did not fix the problem either I’m just going to cut my losses and Garage sale the game sometime this summer.
