The Sims,
By A Customer
The Sims is a cool game. You get to create people and control them. If you don't take good care of them they won' t listen to you. You have to build a house and furnish it, interact with other sims and stuff like that. (It's very addicting.)

my laptop battery is running low,

Be very careful with this game. It is so much fun and so addicting that you will find all your conversations beginning with : "Guess what my sims did today?" I have had this for 2 weeks now and most of my spare time is spent playing the game. I do not normally play video/computer games! It is complex, challenging and SO MUCH FUN. Create ex-boyfriends - stick them in a room, then delete the door. Watch them die! (if you have a sick sense of humor). Make all the women sims fall in love with each other! Think before you have a baby. You'll never have fun or peace and quiet again. You can drag your mp3s into the music folders (music->stations->rock or latin, country, classical) and have the sims listen to the music you want! For the mac version, to use the cheat to get more simoleons : hold down shift+command+c in the upper left corner you'll get a window, type in rosebud. This cheat is wonderful if you like to build big impressive houses, castles with moats even! Why make your sims work when they can be millionares and concentrate all energy on falling in love?! If you aren't a cheater then buy a computer which makes job hunting so much easier. Find the cheat to see your sims au natural online... This game is sooooo addicting that you may find yourself dreaming of sims - thinking of things to do to them while you are away from your computer and then wondering how _your_ bladder is doing! Love, life, food, death, drama, music, money! What more could you want? I can't wait for Livin' Large to arrive at my door! 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful

Addictive fun for a wide range of ages,
By Donna Pistole - Published on Amazon.com
I bought the Sims for my 16-year-old daughter for Christmas. Both she and my 20-year-old son home from college for the holidays have had a blast with it. They've both played it individually for so many hours that it's already paid for itself. When they sit down together with it, the comments and laughter that flow from them are a delight. I have spent a bit of time with it, mostly creating and recreating a house (I made it so big the first time that I had no money left over to buy a toilet - my Sim would not have lasted long, I think....). You buy or create your own house and furnish it; create your character(s) [physical aspects, personality]; see to their needs, have them do all sorts of things from dance to tickle to take a shower and get a job. In addition, the computer generates random events (burglars, for example, and visits by other Sim characters). It's a pretty complex and involving game. In fact, be sure that you have enough RAM to play it properly (it works smoothly on my PowerPC 8600 and my son's G3 powerbook, but I'm having to buy additional memory for my daughter's iMac). My one complaint is that you have to have the CD in your machine in order to play, which means only one person can use the game at a time; I assume this is essesntially copy-protection, but does the manufacturer really expect you to buy the game separately for eachperson in a single family? I do highly recommend the game.

Drag me away! I need to sleep, eat, bathe, relax,,
By the.farm1@home.com - Published on Amazon.com
Not to mention social interaction, empty my bladder and clean the house. The only thing I am not needing is fun! This game is great. I played it here and there on the PC version, waiting for the Mac version to come out and now that it has, I might not emerge from the computer room til Christmas! I pre-ordered this and what a surprise when the box arrived at my work. I eagerly took it home and after a couple of initial problems, got it to work fine. Here, I am GOD. It didn't take long to figure out how to make these sims fall in love, marry, get all the spouse's money and then kill them. There are several ways to kill a Sim, figuring it out, or stumbling across this is a bit of fun. I have a household with four people who are all in love with the other three. Glee. Getting them to stop slapping each other and having social interaction, stay in love and not making the other Sims mad is quite a challenge. But FUN FUN FUN. I highly recommend this game, even more so for those with a slightly evil sense of humor. The possibilities are limitless. Also, Alex, the game just came out for the Mac, The PC version had no downloads for the first few weeks. Don't worry, in short time, there will be fan sites, official downloads etc. (they have already put up the moosehead and the first game update to version 1.1.1). BUY THIS AND NEVER SEE DAYLIGHT AGAIN!
