This is one great value. It gives you two games for the price of one. The Sims is an addicting game that will consume hours of your time. But it is fun and always interesting what you can do with them. And you can also download content to add onto the game, extra careers, skins, items. Its amazing what you can do with this game. A game that will never get old and you will come back to at least once a month to play.

Beware of SecuROM: Copy Protection for EA gaming Software

I love TS2, but I do NOT love what EA has chosen as their copy protection. I purchased a new computer to be able to Sim in TS2 (I'd been Simming in TS1 for five years) unaware that Sony's malware, SecuROM, is the copy protection. My new pc will not burn to disc. Not all burning to disc is piracy, so what makes Sony Corporation think they can develop and market malicious software which disables emulation software/hardware and/or Anti-virus programs (other computer components are reported to have been affected also)? I'm extremely upset. I wanted all of the TS2 expansion packs, but now I won't be purchasing any more until EA finds a different method to copy protect their software without damaging their customer's computers.

Sony's malware SecuROM is invasive and damaging to computers. SecuROM attaches its components to the hard drive and eludes detection. It is also very difficult to remove all of the components. Avoid any product which implements SecuROM as its copy protection!

My wife bought this for my 1st grade daughter. I pointed out to the wife that it probably was not appropriate for her since it was rated T for Teen and had sexual content. I mentioned this on several occasions. Imagine my shock when I walked in and saw my daughter watching a naked couple frolicking in the sack. She tried to cover up the screen with her little hand and was embarrassed. I told her "let's go get Mom" and when we returned the man had left the room, but the woman was in bed rubbing her privates. Again, NOT APPROPRIATE FOR KIDS!!!

I was never really into video games that much until I got Sims 2. Now I am addicted to it. I love this game. I love that you can create your own houses and design your own Sims. I never heard of this "Sims" game before my best friend bought it for me and now we have daily conversations about what our Sims are doing. The creators of this game are brillant. I go home from work and play this game for hours. Some of the Stuff packs are stupid especially "celebrations" because you can only invite 2 guests over and they don't really give give you a lot of things but the Nightlife is a must have expansion pack but I wish they had more cars to choose from. I recently ordered other expansion packs and I am waiting for them to arrive. But overall I would highly recommend this game to anyone (over 10 yrs of age--because of the woohoo that might be offensive to some parents), but this game is definitely a must have. I tried looking for other PC games that had as high of a rating as Sims but couldn't find one. Happy Simming.

Addictive and Stressful but Fun

I'm a newbie in the Sims World and I must say this game got my complete attention for a while. I got so addicted to it I couldn't stop playin. I have stopped playin it for a bit now because I found it stressed me out a lot having to take care of both needs and wants of multiple sims. The nightlife expansion is very very fun, it has a lot of different places to visit like shopping, dining, parks, places to take your potential date, clubs and many more great places to take your sims. Overall the game is pretty good.

Greatest game ever made.

This is the best game I have EVER played. I love being able to control somebody else's life. Since it has been my lifelong goal to become an architect, I like being able to design your own home. The only con is that it takes awhile to get used to, but that isn't big enough to demote it a star. Buy this game, its worth the dough

Addictive and pleasant

I don't pay the game, I bought it for my two teenage daughter to see if I could find something for them to do other than chat in the internet ALL DAY and IT WORKED. They just can't seem to turn them off, they each has replicated our family in the game and are having a blast. Now I have to figure out what to do to get them away from the game. Oh well!

I have seen them play and it looks like a very entertaining game, great graphics, great interface, no nudity, bad words or violence, I am very pleased with my purchase.

When I discovered this game a few months ago while looking for something else. When I downloaded the game, it didn't have all of the features as the boxed version. So, please don't buy any downloaded version of the Sims because you WILL get ripped off. You might say that EA/Maxis (by giving you a downloadable version) have given (Simmers and future Simmers)) a teaser. Because, when your system (for any reason) goes down and you have to reformat the drive, you have to re-download your game (which takes a very long time). So, BUY THE BOXED VERSION. When I started paying the game, I was taken back by its vivid details and overall game play. Any avid Sim player know just how addictive this type of game is. Unfortuately, the game is truly adictive and it is ture that it in itself is a soap opera/sit com. I like the idea of making Sims and building their homes and decorating the lots. You can learn something from a game like this and depending upon your outlook on life you can learn many good things as well as bad things too. I do like the ability to control the Sims but I wish they didn't come out with cheats for the game because by doing so, you take the fun out of playing the game honestly. I still rate the game very high.

Great Game!!!!
