....since the Holiday Stuff pack came out, which includes the same plus even more holiday items, you'd be better off buying the regular Sims 2 base game and the Holiday Stuff pack rather than this.

However, if you don't want to spend the extra cash for the Holiday stuff pack and would be happy with only two-thirds the amount of holiday objects, then this would be the way to go to save some money.

Either way, the Sims 2 is SIMply awesome and well worth the money!! Just be sure your computer meets the game's system requirements before buying it, as it is highly 3-D graphics and memory intensive.

I've been playing Sims 2 for almost a year now and this is one game that you can really never tire of. Maxis is always coming out with new stuff add-ons and expansions to keep it interesting. I have all of the expansions and add-ons out so far and plan on getting all future releases, too. It's that fun!!!

~~~~Remember: This is a BASE GAME EDITION, exactly the same as the regular Sims 2 BASE GAME except with some extra holiday objects, and NOT an expansion!!~~~~

Later note: This review was written *prior* to the holiday 50% price cut.

What a fun game! It's everything from the fist Sims plus better graphics and more customization.

Also, why would anyone buy the "regular" edition for $35 when this is includes the whole game plus some holiday stuff for $20? I thought it was a mistake at first.

The only annoying thing was that the CD key is printed on the back page of the manual. The install procedure tells you to look on the CD case. That was really irritating until I figured it out.

This game is seriously addicting. Make sure you set aside at least a few years for playing this game. Actually "3 years or more free time" should be in the system requirements.

This is a great game. I only started playing last night and was up much later than I should have been. Getting up this morning to go to work was really difficult because all I could think about was what I was going to do in my little Sim world. I am a big fan of the original Sims and expansion packs. This one has so many more options it is going to take me quite some time to figure it all out. My only problem with this game is load time...some things take forever to load. I highly recommend this game. The Holiday stuff is fun. I am not sure if there would be more Holiday stuff to chose from if I paid extra for the Holiday stuff seperately. Someone told me that you might be able to get the missing stuff on the official Sims 2 web site. I will have to look into that.

Hey I got the Sims 2 Holiday Edition for my wife and I'm glad I did. First off the Holiday Stuff disk is totally separate so you can do whatever you want with it. It isn't just Christmas themed stuff either (though mostly). There is Halloween, Fourth of July, etc. If you don't own the Sims 2, you should get this one. It's like getting a free expansion disk right out of the box!!

If you want to keep your sims in a festive mood, the season of xmas and all that you find through the holidays will be found in this holiday edition.

I've never once regretted buying ANY of the Sims series from THE SIMS, to THE SIMS 2, and now THE SIMS 3.

It is what you make of it. If you enjoy the sims, I'm sure you'll enjoy this as well.

I REALLY ENJOY THIS GAME. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME BUGS. OVERALL IT'S GREAT GAME. LOTS THINGS TO DO, LOTS FUN

The Sims 2 games are very fun! I love them all. On my computer, though, they run pretty slow. Maybe its just the computers (2) that I used.
The other bad thing about it would probably be the other stuff. I've bought all of the expansion packs, but after a couple of months, I got bored of the same old thing over and over. The Sims 2 is verrrrrrrrrrrrrry fun though, and is definetly worth it! Buy the Sims, expansions, etc, and you won't regret it!

The Sims are awesome...if you dont mind spending hours upon hours in front of the computer screen ordering simulated people around. I have purchased several of the expansion packs as well....cant wait for more!!

The Sims 2 "holiday edition" is an excellent value, considering it's The Sims 2, plus a holiday expansion pack all for the same price (if not less than,) The Sims 2 alone.

Certainly a fun game. The game is fun, but doesn't have a lot of replay value for me, as there is only so much you can do without extra expansion packs. It's certainly fun and worth checking out, but can get a little old after a while.
