Rating: Summary: Sims guides ?? Review: cool stuff, but how much of this isn't available free, online, if you bothered to look ?? A great purchase for the lazy (and Newbies - Bob or otherwise) but if you have the slightest motivation Google has cleared it all up for you already.
Rating: Summary: Sims Guide: Looks good, does nothing Review: I have bought every strategy guide for the Sims, and I have to admit that all versions have duplication, but the information included in the books is invaluable! Although, if you don't already have the previous versions, I would only buy this one--it will have all the information you need for all expansions. Even the most die-hard fan will find information in here helpful, and I've learned new things from each book! I would definately recommend the strategy guide for any Simmer, whether he be a Bob Newbie or an old pro!

Rating: Summary: Nothing but worthless or wrong information Review: I ordered this book expecting something comparable to Prima's strategy guide for SimCity 3KU (which is huge, rich, and utterly indispensible). Not even remotely. I knew I was in trouble when the table of contents did not match the pagination of the book (and it was way off -- not just by a page or two). Most of this too-slim-for-the-price volume is pure filler: a grainy B&W photo catalog of all the objects Sims can buy (information which is readily accessible within the game, and of little strategic value anyhow), and way, way too many tedious B&W screenshots of the author's own gameplay, supposedly for illustration.It contains a few bits of useful information -- such as detailed tables of the Careers (jobs, hours, salary, promotion criteria) -- all of which and more is available on the Web. It also contains enough glaring falsehoods (e.g., that Sim kids can't use dishwashers) to suggest that the author played the game just long enough to crank out this piece of softbound kindling . If you're really interested in getting the most out of the game, do yourself a favor: give this book a miss and head for one of the thousands of fan sites and BBSs instead.
Rating: Summary: Nothing but worthless or wrong information Review: I really like the game i play it at my friends house but when i wanted to buy it on your site alone i couldn't. I really would like it if you would sell it too me alone just "The Sims" so i am able to play some sims games I got for Christmas.Please Help me! Amy Pascoe Box 2803 Drumheller,Alberta,Canada TOJ OYO
Rating: Summary: The Sims Review Review: I think that this "book" is very good on helping people by troubleshooting the points in the game. I have The Sims and this book really helped me out! Rosebud code, no don't worry, it isn't in there, only points, NOT the cheats. ;)
Rating: Summary: Could use work Review: I thought the guide was pretty good, except that all it is is a clearer form of the manual! I found out some things, like how to remove doors and windows. The only things that were different was that this guide had cheat codes, and all this "a day in the life of" stuff. Plus, it tells you about jobs. I could say it helped a little, but I wouldn't recomend buying it.
Rating: Summary: Good - But there is better Review: If you want this book - and you have any of the add on packs - buy The Sims: 5 Complete Strategy Guides, it is cheaper than buying any 2 of the other packs together, and you can get them special with sims unleashed(lets all see how long that lasts). But this book alone is a great buy, even with an add on pack.
Rating: Summary: This book... Review: this book is good! you can read there about the careers in the first sims...
Rating: Summary: Sims Guide: Looks good, does nothing Review: This book isn't a very good guide. much of the stuff in it you can work out yourself. it is good for a first time player perhaps, but it can be boring with small print, lots of tables and charts, and only small black & white pictures. if youre an experienced player, give it a miss
