Once it loads that silver screen that says mammal matrix and the like( this is were it comes down to personal computers power and not every computer the same, loading times can take from 40 seconds to 25 minutes). And there are even more objects for download( be very careful when doing this as some of these objects may not be compatible or may have bugs or cause crashes and all kinds of problems). I can't get enough of it, and ignore the duesches that say the sims 2 is better, becuase trust me, it's not.The complete collection comes in a box and in 4 cd's, one you put in after the other, and on a pentium 4 256 mb or any other pc it takes about 20 minutes to install.
The carpool things is terrific, and there is just too much to comment about here.The sims do get occasionally stuck in one place, too fix that just go to buy mode and move an object. As for the sims two it's eye candy for those who care but that's it, the game is terrible. There are just about no bugs in the game, and I know I can download mods to put a little spice into my sex life( A lot of people were wanting that, before they just had too think about what they did after the sim kissed and did little things.).
Like good delicious crack, this game is truly the best game EVER made, Infinitely addictive, and just too much to take in all at once. The music is extraordinary, and gives a feeling that your neighborhood is somewhere in New england or the midwest. sad the days of quality products are over forever.This is gorging, get this game and grab it while the few in stores are still available.
That Vista s--t makes it very difficult to run, but after right clicking run as administrator it will work like butter. It will take you to the neighborhood screen and you get the feel of the neighobrhood, and there are 3 families for your personal enjoyment, for a first timer the first sim you make or get from the families screen will be horribly managed and just about non recoverable, so it takes a lot of practice.
bought this for my niece after we lost our first game and I don't feel like she's old enough to upgrade to sims2 or 3 because she's 8, so we bought the replacement from Amazon and it shipped quickly and was in perfect condition. love the sims.
Give it a try, I think you will enjoy it. I like the original SIMS the best not Sims II, they seem to drag out too much for me. I've suggested it to a friend and even my children and they love it.
the build and buy mode are simple to work with and the help hints give a person great ideas. If you need something to get your mind off of troubled times, this is the game. The Sims Complete Collection is amazing, fun and addictive.
The pets are so real and animated. Have Fun, Yvonne It's almost a mirror of everyday life, working and finding out what makes us happy.
I use the build mode to create a home, even I would love to have and all of the home items are wonderful.
The game is still kind of fun but I know I was a little disappointed with it. After you buy your house and everything in it you only have $5,000 even if you bought the cheapest house. This game is kind of hard. You can't cheat and you start out with only $20,000.
If you want to customize your game, buy the expansions separately (but remember you MUST install them in the proper order). The only disappointment for me is that the game will only let you make a child or an adult.
But all other aspects of the game are great. There is no teen life cycle, and you have to play the game long enough to get your couple to have romantic interactions to be able to adopt a baby--yes, adopt.
For any Sim enthusiast, the Sims Complete Collection is by far the best and most comprehensive collection of Sims software available. This product comes highly recommended for the Sim enthusiast who likes the simplicity of the graphics and the ease of playing the game.
And I love the large number of fansites dedicated to Sims 1, where a plethora of user-made add-ons are available (not to mentions the official add-ons available at the Maxis website). However, this collection will install EVERY expansion, whether you want it or not.
If you want all the expansions, this version does all that for you.
