Summary: The Sims: like real life? No. But fun.
Review: This game may seem stupid and silly at first,but is really quite fun. It may seem like real life on the box, but there are many differences. I mean, can you imagine buying a house for 40,000 or so, and pay it all right on the spot with no mortages for the rest of your life? We all wish! Also, are you able to got to bed at 4:00 in the morning, only to go to school or work at 6:00? However, this game was quite fun. After all we all need an escape once in a while. Controlling the Sms and making them a perfect vision of your dream family was a control freak's dream come true.

Summary: This Game Rocks....
Review: There is nothing more to say about this game. If you are thinking about buying this game, stop thinking and click on the add to cart button now! Simply put, this is the best sims game ever developed for the Mac or any computer for that matter.

Summary: The Best!
Review: I've played the sims over and over again, and it is just so much fun. Make a family, editing everything from their personalities to their clothes, build them a house, get them jobs, and even have them interact with other sims who you've created!

Recommended for Control Freaks everywhere ;)

Review: my battery would run dead everyday on my laptop with this.I played it out i played it days straight without even goign to the bathroom for liek a week and bored myself out.It very challenging and addicting when u get it.u will not wanna stop and u will wanna keep trying new things.If u dont play it day and night whihc i highly dont suggest it will be very fun.Its a little complicated at first btu u will learn.There are also many cheats u could use if u jus have to have that mansion.By the way that mansion is a peice of poop

Summary: More time setting up than playing
Review: DISCLAIMER!! I got The Sims as a gift from my wish list so I have no one to blame but myself!!

I have played most of the Sim series with SimCity2000 reduceing my college GPA by at least .5 so I was looking forward to playing The Sims. I have an older Mac (7600 upgraded to a G3 266)but with upgrades I have been able to be reasonably current. Until now. Despite what the box says, The Sims is NOT playable on anything less than a 400mhz G3 with AT LEAST 128MB of RAM. I have 80MB of RAM (far more than the 64MB the box says is required) and with my "gaming" extension set I get 64MB of free ram at startup. No dice. I had to set Virtual Memory at 128MB just to get The Sims to boot. Some other recomendations - Dont try to play this on a 15" monitor. Just not enought screen realestate. Given that every iMac has a 15", that is not good. For older iMac owners with 4MB or less of VRAM, good luck! With an 8MB 2D card and a 4MB Voodoo card I did ok but scrolling was still jerky (maybe with a faster processor and more real RAM you could get by with less of a video card).

On the plus side the downloads available from the web site are top rate. Excellent support....

As for the game, I didnt pass my 15 minute test. After 15 minutes I was thinking about booting up Age of Empires for a good thrashing of the Greeks. With a small screen it is too hard to see everything unless you zoom out and then you mis the details. With time I know I will enjoy this game but there is a little too much "real time" - sitting waiting for something to happen.

I will hold final judgement for The Sims until I can install it on a machine that is faster and has a bigger screen. I dont mind finding a game that is too much for my machine to handle....

Review: The level of game play is unlimted. Tons of features allow you to do all most ANYTHING with your characters. You decide whether or not there nice or mean. There are so many things you can add to make your house really cool. The expantion packs make this game PERFECT.To sum it up, I L-O-V-E this 100% cool game.

Summary: Why I like this Game
Review: First of all, The Sims is a great game. You can be a engineerer, builder, and basically anything you want. Personally, I like to use money cheats in games, and this one has some. I like how you can pick furniture and lots and make a miserable life for your sims or not.
