Author's Review

I’ve been reluctant for a while to try this game out. I’ve never really been into computer games and there are very few video games I will play. However, after much begging, my husband finally got me to try the game. I have to say this is the most addicting game I have ever played! Had it not been for family being in town this past week, I probably would not have gotten off of my computer. The graphics I think could use a little improvement and it is a bit unrealistic how fast the time flies. It takes these Sims forever to get anything done! All the things I have my Sims do in a matter of a day, I could do in a matter of hours! But it is a game and ever doing a game like that in real time would be unrealistic and would probably take the fun out of it all!
My favorite part of this game has to be building the house. If you have the right cheat codes, you can build some amazing things onto your house! I love that the Sims can own their own car now too! It’s great to have some different scenery for my family from time to time!
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS VISTA AS YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM! I have had problems trying to get control over my Sims on my laptop and have, with the help of EA games very shoddy customer service, narrowed it down to a Vista problem. I had to put Sims on my desktop which operates with XP, just to play. I wouldn’t even recommend waiting on a fix because with the time that it took me just to have them tell me it was a Vista problem, it wasn’t even worth the extra two weeks to wait for a response on how to fix it. They apparently have a solution and if you are patient, I welcome you to try.
