Pros: Great gameplay, very realistic Cons: Music is annoying, but you can turn it off
I saw a funny commercial on this game, and I just had to buy it.
I got the game, and boy for 50 big ones, that better be a good game.
I started out with a family of 5, and for me, that was a mistake, for the amount of money that is given, you...

Pros: Everything Cons: everything
Imagine a God sim, but instead of telling an entire race of people what to do, you just control one character (or more as the game progresses). And instead of some fantasy world setting, it's based at home. Not just any home, but a dream house, furnished...

Pros: fun, addictive, easy Cons: Sims are slow
I'd like to issue a warning to anyone thinking about playing this game. Be prepared to throw your life out the window for a week or so in favor of improving the lifestyle of your new pets...your Sim family.
In the Sims, you create one or more...

Pros: Made by maxis. no guns!!! not a shooter Cons: very addicting!!
I found out about The Sims while entering a contest. I figured I should at least know what I was trying to win. Once I arrived at the Maxis site for The Sims (www.thesims.com), I fell in love with the idea. I own several Maxis games (sim city, sim...

Pros: You'll play till you drop, or passout, whichever comes first Cons: Sometimes stuck playing for too long
Wow, thats all I can say. I'm the type of person who loves sims games. I love the idea of creating and watching a civilization grow. My friend Mark first introduced me to this game. Once I started playing, I was automatically hooked. I had to buy it. Its...

Pros: Unique gameplay, custom skins and houses Cons: Materistic things are supposed to be bad?!
I read all the hype in all the magizines that said that half of their employies would literaly dream about how to customize their sim-home, and let me tell you, THEY WERE RIGHT!
Well, didn't really have dreams about this game but when I got...

Pros: a lot of things to do Cons: the sim or sims that you have can get annoying after a while
This game, The Sims is really like controlling a real person. You tell them when to eat, take a shower, use entertainment systems, or swim in the pool. Sometimes, when you aren't paying attention, they either do it by themselves or cry, get frustrated,...

Pros: Live out fantasies, design houses!, you might even say "play God". I love it! Cons: not many except having to peel family off the computer to eat now LOL
I must say, I love "The Sims"! It is a pleasantly diverting game to play and really captures your attention. You get to design houses (and believe me you will improve on your design skills fast!). You even design the people and the family structure you...

Pros: addictive, incredible depth, just cool Cons: you may play so much you'll lose your own social life, but at least you'll have one in the games :)
Let me start off by saying that The Sims is one of the most innovative and addictive games ever. That should be all I need to say, along with "buy it now!" but I'll go into detail.
The Sims is from the same guy that brought SimCity....

Pros: variety, humor, fun, ever changing Cons: none
The Sims is by far one of the best computer games I have ever played. My husband actually bought it for us, and I griped at him for spending so much money for a computer game. We have other Sim games at home, and I thought, "Why do we need another...

Pros: Fun to watch and play Cons: Some code and concept flaws
Well I just got the game of the year, or whatever, and it's a little slow to start. The tutorial doesn't take nearly as long as I thought it would, perhaps because there's not much to teach. If your sim has to pee, point and click on the toilet. Kind...

Pros: Addicting Cons: None
I had downloaded a demo of this game. And I thought it was going to be completely stupid. But, I was proven wrong. I played the demo, and I fell in love with the game. So, I went out and bought the game at Best Buy. As soon as I installed it, I...

Pros: Fun, amusing,and live the life you always wanted for only $46.99. Cons: A few annoying glitches in the program.
Have you ever wondered about God's daily agenda? You don't have to just buy "The Sims". This computer game lets you control a whole neighborhood one household at a time, you literally have to tell the Sims what and when to do things for themselves....

Pros: very addicting game Cons: need more land to make more houses
If you had fun building cities with Simcity you will seriously enjoy The Sims.
Start off by creating your family. You control how they look and their personalities. After the family is created pick a lot and either move into an already...

Pros: addicting, fun, you control it, funny Cons: addicting, but nothing else
The Sims is a very addicting game. You could play for hours and not even know. It's funny and the best part is that you get to control everything.
To start off, you can choose an already made family or make your own. If you make a new...
