5.0 out of 5 stars A great help!, Jun 22 2004
By Chris (Wooster, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
If you are having trouble with the Sims then this book is for you. It tells you every little detail about the game as well as graphs and charts that specify what you need to do to succeed.

The chapters are as follows...
Cheats and Quick Start Tips
Personality
Mood and Motives
Sim Autonomy
Social Interations
Careers and Skills
Sim Economics 101
Building
Sim Objects
Creating your own Stuff

As you can see, it covers every little aspect of the Sim world. It will help to start your sim family in the right direction and what traits your sim will need to excel at his or her career.

It is filled with pictures, beta-testers tips, and little hints/cheats that will no doubt improve your gaming experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars A light in the darkness, Mar 23 2002
By "lewenn" (Anchorage, AK, USA) - See all my reviews
When I first started playing this game, I made a family of eight people. Two kids. I didn't know about fire alarms or cooking skills. Four people (my men) all died. Then the others wouldn't work because they were too depressed. They spent free time wallowing in self-pity, mourning over the tombstones, and getting stuck behind furniture (and I couldn't figure out how to get them out).
I played the game for a year, figuring it out pretty basically, still not able to get past the rusted-up carpool car. I knew things got better for some people because I downloaded families that were rich and happy.
That didn't last long - I just plain wasn't good at the game.
Then, a light in the darkness, was this book! It was totally awesome! Whatever I needed help with was IN THERE. Now I've got happily married six-people families who are always happy! . Now I only trust maxis-mades, BTW.
If you think you're an expert or not, everything really lies in this book.
