Pros: FUN!
Cons: really addictive, can play for hours!
The Sims is one of the best CD-ROM games I have ever played. Simply put, you design a person or people or choose some pre-built ones, and build or select a house. Once you do that, you literally control every aspect of their lives, from eating to...

Pros: non violent, fun, and you get to be GOD!
Cons: addictive, addictive, addictive
I am so addicted!!! If you too have dared enter the realm of total power you know where I am coming from. We all have a sick side to us that wants to control everyone. The sims gives us that opportunity. I wouldn't
recommend this game to...

Pros: addictive, challenging, seems to be no end to the fun
Cons: addictive, kind of hard to learn
I'm a big fan of Sid Meier's games--Sim City and Civilization have taken up many hours of my time in the past, and so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the The Sims, which seemed like the ultimate progression from Sim City. Well, when I first got the...

Pros: Controlling your own little family!
Cons: The amount of time taken to do things is unrealistic
Originally, I bought the game "The Sims" for my mom. That didn't last too long:) I put it into my computer and I was hooked. I immediately populated all of the lots with houses and families of all sorts. Believe me when I tell you that this...

Pros: interesting concept, humor, ability to play God a little
Cons: tedious, materialism oriented, just not that fun
I bought this game based on the rave review I read in a gaming magazine. While it was as-advertised in terms of game play, in the end I realized that it is more work than fun for me.
You create a person and basically you run their life....

Pros: Easy to set up and play overall. Fun in an odd sort of way.
Cons: No pets for the Sims! Bathroom toilet scenes may not be great for perverted 8 year old minds.
Well, I'm not a PC "gamer" by any means. I think I bought a copy of Asteroids a while back if that says anything. A couple of years back, I purchased one of Maxis' Sim city games, and to be honest, it bored me to tears. The...

Pros: total control over everything
Cons: none
Some of my friends had gotten this game called The Sims. This game was all they would talk about. I never saw my friends on line anymore cause they were playing this game. So I broke down and got it. That was it for me.
I can't stop playing it. I...

Pros: the fact that this game is an imagination based game
Cons: The only way to truly enjoy the upsides of this game is to understand how to program new things into it
I feel that this product was especially good. The review that I had actually read stated that the game gets kind of boring...I don't believe that this is the case. The fact of the matter is if you keep doing the same things over and over in the game,...

Pros: Included photo album feature records triumphs and tragedies
Cons: Addictive gameplay may cause loss of sleep, job
The idea behind The Sims is this: the ultimate goal of life is to achieve happiness, and the way to achieve happiness is to satisfy your Sims' needs. That's right, The Sims allows you to create, direct, and manage the lives of SimCity's residents. Each...

Pros: Great graphics, fun sounds, cool downloads, easy to find cheats
Cons: Is there more to life than going to the bathroom and watching people talk?
Since there are already so many reviews, I wanted to wait and write my review after I'd played for awhile. I'm glad I did. (And it's much shorter than my usual reviews.) When we first got the game, my husband and I spent hours a day fooling with it. He...

Pros: Original, Addicting, Fun
Cons: Doesn't run smooth, Takes long to load
Maxis has done it again with another game that you can't win, but you still try.
The Sims is one of the most original games I've ever seen. It allows you to build a whole neighborhood of 'Sims' - the same people who inhabit Sim City. Your...

Pros: Great house design and neighborhood simulation.
Cons: Can become repetitive and boring.
By far the only game on the market that allows you to control almost every possible aspect of a simulated character's life is The Sims by Maxis. You control everything about your sim's appearance, occupation, house, moods, and relationships. Terrific...

Pros: The Sim's PC Game, Lets You be the Creator
Cons: not having one
I was surprise that this game was so interesting. You can make there life the way you want to see it . The simulation are so real. The Sims world is made up by your hands. It all depends on the person that make up the Sims world.
The people,...

Pros: Good graphics, real, very real
Cons: Not much, just hard to learn
The Sims was a greatly anticipated game and was deemed one of the top games of the year. The incredible realism of the game is one of it's great pros. When I first got the game, I immeadietly installed it and was playing within 15 minutes. The rules...

Pros: Great gameplay, graphics and fun
Cons: you can't leave your house and control them
The Sims is the best game ever. Period. I liked all the simcities but now instead of just watching a house pop up in a little box, you get to be the little pop and control everything. From eating habits, jobs, house, garden, friends to love life....
