HOPE THAT MOST BUGS ARE WORKED OUT-NOT UNLIKE SIMS HOT DATE

Don't get me wrong-- I LOOOVE the Sims-- I have all four. I didn't give this game a rating because I haven't played it yet. However, with Sims Hot Date, there are too many bugs, and even though Maxis did a recent patch for such problems as Sims not being able to get off a couch after cuddling, some purchase items not being transferred, etc., (I tried downloading the most recent patch for HD, and can't due to problems with their winzip)I hope that most bugs are worked out for this program prior to release date. I think that Maxis is coming out with these additions much too fast and are not really testing enough prior to releasing-- hence, the many problems with the Hot Date program. I will just wait about 8 months to a year before purchasing Vacation-- Maybe they'll have all the bugs worked out by then.

FUN...NOT!

Alright, I am going to tell you the truth. I think that this expansion game stinks. Number one reason. OMG! Do u know how much it slowed down my computer? it takes me like 20 minutes just to get to the normal neighborhood now and it takes like another 20 to get to Vacation Island. And when you finally get there, it is as boring as...well...its just boring. and ya kno what? ur sims get bored too. I mean, yeh, i guess its okay. its not HORRIBLE. it just isnt very fun. i dont really use it and it seems to me like a waste of money. it is up to u, but if i were u, i would chose a different expansion pack. like hot date or animal one. they seem to offer more than this one does. everybody seems to be giving it a lot of credit. i for one dont give it very much at all. well, good luck if you buy it and i hope it doesnt slow down ur computer.

I was looking forward to Vacation, only to get it home today, and I can't get it to run, it may run for a little while but then it just dumps me to the desktop. I looked around at some Forums at TheSims.com and well known fan sites, only to find that a lot of people are having problems running the game, especially with XP.

So to sum up, this was a complete waste of money since I can't even play the game.

Trouble with the Sims games

I have spent about a total of $130.00 on The Sims games. (Sims, House Party, Livin'Large, and Vacation). When I first played the games, they worked fine and they were very fun. But then for my birthday, I got the Sims Livin'Large. That game worked ok for awhile, but then the game no longer worked, and neither do my others. I've tried numerous times to uninstall, and reinstall them, but they still do not work. What happens, is, they either load all the way and shut down, or, in the middle of the game, they shut down, and you haven't saved it yet. I have spent a lot of time making houses, and putting stuff in them, and then every single time, it shuts down. I would not recommend purchasing this item for you or someone else.

I'd give this Sim's ep a turkey

I love the Sims but Vacation made the game crash and the characters became stuck on vacation island in one spot. It was if the Vacation Ep was not compatible with the other ep's. Outside of some cool objects it really was not worth it. I uninstalled Vacation and the game now runs fine. I traded Vacation at a local video game store for something else.

I didn't like this one at all...

I agree with "A gamer" from Tempe, Arizona. This expansion pack totally messed up The Sims on my computer. It either wouldn't run at all, or it would shut down once I got into it. I spent 30 or 40 dollars on it, so it was pretty much a waste of money. I'm sure it would've been fun if it had worked, and it seems like it worked for most of the reviewers. However, other friends of mine who got this expansion pack said it didn't work for them, either. And for some reason, the other expansion packs do.

What were they thinkin'?!

this is a bore fest the parents fight with the kids and there is just no rest for theives in the sim world. they come in many different forms, like burgulars and pickpockets. why taint a vacation with them? JHS the expansions also makes you wonder when they will run out of ideas jefferson

I think it is highly unfair that just because i dont live in America that i'm NOT ALOWWED to buy this game at the same time as other sims players, whats wrong Maxis - just because i'm English, is my money not as good as anyone elses. I find it insulting that i cant buy this game at the same time as other people. I have bought every sim game so far; if it weren't for people like me Maxis wouldn't be able to keep making games. After being treated like this i will not buy another.

Its enough

When the first and second sims came out i was excited. But now its been carried too far. I've seen this game and ts very boring. There is no objective in the game and its little guys constantly screaming. I would not suggest to buy the game until it is a little more exciting.
