From the day I downloaded my first Sims game ,I've been stuck . I love the Sims .I have it for the Nintendo SP and DS and the Sims 2 for the PC . But my heart is with this complete collection . Unlimited play and it so easy to jump right in and get going and keep it going having the complete collection. Set up is a breeze . It's not as technical as Sims 2 so it just flows very smoothly .Top of the list and all in one package takes it to the next level . This is a must have . And I'd say get get 2 ... One for you and one for your best friend ... mine is Sims-ing .

Sims 2 is not worse than Sims 1!

Okay, I know you have your reasons, saying Sims 1 is way better than Sims 2 but I disagree - I like Sims 2 better, because:

1) The graphics are way improved, which makes it more realistic.
2) Lots more choices when creating Sim characters - you can choose make-up, customize their facial features, and mix-and-match shirts and pants, pretty much anything!
3) There is way-cool furniture in Sims 2!
4) There are lots of awesome expansions for Sims 2 - Sims 2 Pets, Sims 2 University, Sims 2 Open for Business, Sims 2 Nightlife, Sims 2 House Party, etc., etc.,
5) You can have as many floors as you want! Go ahead and make five floors! No longer a limit of two, you can even have a basement! Yay, Maxis!
6) Now, if your Sims have a baby, the baby will grow up and have some traits of their parents, aka facial features and clothes.
7) Also, I like that Sims 2 is a little more challenging, and more micromanaging - you have to clean the house, go to work for money, keep up with homework, etc., so then you can do the fun stuff...SHOPPING! Which brings me to...
8) Community Lots. Building stores in Sims 2 is super-fun...you can make a boutique, Pet store (if you have sims 2 Pets expansion), grocery store, video game store, and if you have Sims 2 Open for Business, you can have much more - night clubs, salons, even furniture stores - pretty much anything!
9) The Sims in Sims 2 are smarter - - - you dont have to move around objects and such so they can get by.

But, there are some things I like about Sims 1 that you cant get in Sims 2...

1) Oh no! You cant have a hotel in Sims 2, like you can in the original Sims. Hopefully it'll be coming in another expansion pack. :-|
2) I sort of like Sims not growing old - sometimes in Sims 2, I forget to use the "aging off" cheat code, so my sims accidently get older. :-(
3) I like some of the things on Sims 1 that you cant get in Sims 2, such as the clothing and furniture. I think Maxis should have kept most of the original items in Sims2, along with the new ones.

Well, no offense to any Sims 1 fans, but I think you should try and give Sims 2 a second chance. I love it! My friend has Sims 1, and it's really fun, but personally, I prefer Sims2.

-------Thanks soooooo much for reading. Happy Simlish!-------

NOT FAIR!!!

I'm going to be honest, I love the Sims. I think it is a great game, but I do not think it is fair that now you can get all of the expansion packs for 30 dollars, when they used to be 30 dollars each. It is great if you didn't have the game before, but is entirely unfair to the original fans that went out and bought The Sims when it was expensive. I bought every sims expansion pack, which adds up to well over 200 dollars. I started playing this game when I was like twelve, and that is a lot of allowances that my brother and I pulled to buy all those games. I personally think that the people who paid full price for all of these games should get some kind of rebate.

A total waste of time and money!

I have played many simulation games... Caesar, Civilization, Sim City, you name it... and Sims Complete Collection is without a doubt the most poorly designed sim I've ever had the misfortune to purchase.
Poor help/documentation, a sluggish and tedious and confusing interface (even with more than enough PC power/memory/video), and abysmal playability are just a few of this game's shortcomings. No wonder there are so many "cheats" out there... the game is basically unplayable without them.
Given that time passes more rapidly than real time (it takes 25 "sim" minutes just to get out of bed), so you soon find your characters have no time to explore their environment or expiriment with different interactions. Just bathe, eat, go to work, come home, eat, clean up, go to bed... over and over again, day after day.

There are good sims and not so good sims, but even the not so good ones still have some playability to offer.
Not so with the Sims Complete Collection.
It's a good concept, but very poorly executed.
A total waste of time and money!

IT WAS SOOOOOOOO FUN!!!!

This game is a lot of fun. I love making new families with interesting personalities, jobs and realationships. All your people can be different by making them more neat, active, outgoing, playful, and nice. But the bad things are that money is pretty hard to make because you keep wanting to spend it all. Sometimes I wish money wasn't an issue. Also, if your people are unhappy you can't get them a job so you keep losing money. Houses are a lot of fun to make, but then they're way to expensive to put a new family in to. But, I still think sims is a great game, and I keep getting better!

Some good, some bad

Many things in this game get a five-star. But just as many get one star, so the average comes out to three.

Things that were awesome...

-All expansions within one. This game is so full compared to the original Sims, though it can be overwhelming at times.
-You play God. You can even kill your Sims, or have them go into gay relationships.
-Building houses is a real kick. I have one house that is Goth-style, one that is a villa, etc etc.
-I love the pet option that comes with Unleashed. Spells are fun to cast (Makin' Magic) and it's fun to go on Vacation. I haven't really done much in the Superstar area though.
-The clothes! Oh, the fashions that I can put my Sims in! (and this Complete collection has a program that lets you create your own fashions as well) As each expansion came out, more outrageous and wild fashions were available, so this collection has them all and then some. Thus, you could make a house AND a family that fit together, though the kids could have used a few more clothing options.

Bad things?
-Some of the 'rules' of the game are annoying... having to make a certain amount of friends to advance the job ladder. It was so time-consuming to keep Relationships and make them just so I could get a better-paying job.
-One thing that pisses me off is the Beanstalk in Making Magic. I desperately want a magic beanstalk but keep getting crappy things like the geraniums or the stupid Root. I got ONE crystal (out of seven possible ones), and several ordinary beanstalks. I have no patience to keep buying magic ingredients to make spells in the HOPE of getting a magic beanstalk, or more kinds of crystals. Shame on the creators of this game for the convoluted rules.
-Unrealistic time. It takes so many Sim-minutes to do simple things such as getting out of bed.
-The bills that the Sims have to pay just for the stuff that they already paid for. Seriously.
-I already had the Sims and four of its expansions before I bought the Sims Complete Collection. This was just a big money-making scheme (fortunately, I sold my single Sims games on eBay to recoup some of my money) I might buy Sims 2, but only when they stop making the expansions for Sims 2 and make a Complete Collection like they did for this one.

So, overall, 3/5 (or 6/10 stars) No wonder so many people used cheats, or hacked game objects for easier use or download.

The complete package

Well, first I bought The Sims Deluxe with 1 expansion and that got old after a while but now that I have this with all the expansions I dont know if it could get boring. There is so much to do now like adopting pets and going downtown. The possibilities are endless!
