I am 12 years old and I have had this game for about a month now. It is very fun and addictive. One thing I would like to point out, is that parents should not be worried by the rating saying T for teen and "mature sexual themes." These "mature sexual themes" do not exist. Unless they consider kissing as that, they don't have anything like that in it. You control your sims and help them make friends, get a job, etc.
When you first start out, you choose the last name for your sim, and the first name. Then you choose gender (male or female) then choose the head, clothing, and personality. Then you can right a biography about your sim, but you can just skip that. Then, you click done and you can then move them into a house or lot. You can choose an already built house, or buy an empty lot and build from scratch. After that, start living! you have to get your sims a job, and help them fulfill their needs: hunger, by feeding them, comfort, by letting them sit down in a chair or sofa or couch, hygiene, by telling them to take a bath or shower (don't worry, nudity is blurred out), bladder, by making them use the toilet (also blurred out), energy, by giving them coffee, expresso, or making them go to bed, social, by having them do something with another sim, fun, by having them do something fun such as playing on the computer, and finally room, this is not a major thing, but to improve the room rating, just keep it clean, and put up paintings and such. So, should you get this game? Absolutely! It's worth it, although it can get kind of repetitive after a while, unless you get expansion packs, but despite that, go ahead and get it! It's worth it.

The Sims is the most funnest game I've ever played! You get to create a family, build a house, get jobs, control your family, and decorate your place in just your style. After you've gotten used to this game, buy one of the expansion packs to add other options to your Sims' lifestyle. A great gift, and a great game. THIS IS A DEFINATE BUY!!

I give this game 4 fun stars out of 5 because the slowness can become tedious once in a while. It takes a long time to make friends, build skills, get promotions (just like in real life), and if all does not go well I get discouraged. Luckily you can choose to leave a family that is giving you trouble and play with a different one. I enjoy being able to build my own house, create characters with different personalities, and micro-manage every aspect of their lives. The game works well on Windows XP, but I would recommend a very good graphics card and 512MB of RAM to make it run smoothly.

I had a couple of technical issues with it crashing, and a house and family disappeared from the neighborhood (though their neighbors can still call them up, strangely enough). I contacted EA and they were very unhelpful in resolving the issue. The game does have some bugs that can be fixed with downloadable patches. Plus you need to download a lot of things to make it more interesting, such as wall lights, new furniture, different wallpaper and flooring, etc. What comes with it is limited. I suppose this is why expansion packs are made. Four out of 5 stars overall because of the technical issues and the limitations.

I played this game 6 years ago and I was really addicted to this game! I spent my whole weekend on my computer playing this game.

This game is a little bit different than other Sims game available on the market. Sims games usually simulates business on park, gadget, city, etc. But here, you will play a game that simlates your own life!

Start this game by creating your chracter(s). It could be you yourself, your own family, or just anybody you like. Choose his/her looks and personality. Once you have created a family, you can choose a lot available on the neighborhood and start building your own house. You may also buy a built house. The next step is furnishing your house with your preferred furnitures, home appliances, and gadgets.

After having your own house, you can start playing your characters. You have full control over them. You can make them do whatever you like. You can get a job, do house works, make friends, get a girlfriend then get married and have a baby.

As this is an old game, this game is not that fun anymore this time. The newer version of this game is now available on the market with higher price and better gameplay and features. If you have a high-end PC and want to try the latest game, go get the newer version. I would recommend this game for those who like to play classic game or those smart budget-minded.

I love this game and have been so depressed since my new computer won't play it (stupid Vista). It has a simplicity and freedom the newer versions can simply not match - you are in complete control of your world. Help your sims fall in love, rise to the top of the career ladder, and create a happy, healthy family...or set them all against each other and laugh as they burn (literally). It's all up to you.

This is a VERY good game. It's addictive and fun.

You get a sim, manage their life, get them married.. Just help them through life. Although you could just kill them off.

Ahem.

Although this is a good game, I am giving it four stars overall. Why? Because it freezes- atleast twice when I play it. I'm not sure if it's my computer or what. I only downloaded one object for it, and even when I deleted that it still froze. It may be my dad's loads of useless junk filling up the computer, but it still bugs me.



Other than that, it's awesome. I'm getting two expansion packs to add to the fun, too, and I recommend you to do the same- Because it does get boring after a while.

I got this because I played it a lot when I was a little younger and its just like i remember! Condition was great and came pretty fast!

Good game, and better with unleashed. You should really get it if you LOVE simulation games. Also try The Sims 1 and The Sims 2!

This game is hilarious in how over the top these "sims" can be and there interactions. Great game and worth the price

My kids have been playing this game every day now and they really enjoy it thank you for having it so cheap.
