<font color="gold">Do anyone play this game?
My sister bought it the other day, and I actually enjoyed it very much! Belive me or not.
For those of you who doesnt know it, it's kind of a strategy-game, based on real life, where you have to go and get jobs, buy furniture, make dinner etc.</font>


see ya!

NO, i haven't played it but i've watched other people play it. It looks cool though. I actually wanted that game once.

Lavindathar 02-11-2002 01:22 PM

<font color="cyan">Yeah, I've got it. It's a decent game in all aspects, apart from its lifespan. After a week solid playing, it becomes the most boring game in the world, as it is the same thing over and over and over and over and over again.

Good in SHORT bursts!</font>

It's not got much replay value, it's more or less the same thing over and over again with few random events.

It'll keep you entertained for perhaps a week, nothing more.

Not really worth the money if you ask me..

It's incredibly addictive at first but as everyone else said it quickly becomes boring and monotonous after a while.

Definatly Not When It First Came Out! About £40!!! Its Alot Cheaper Now! I'd Just Recommend Borrowing It Of A Friend And Playing Until You Get Bored (A Week)

I've played Sims. It's a really good game. One of my friends is mad with it!

Barry the Sprout 02-11-2002 03:52 PM

To me I really couldn't see the attraction, and I normally like strategy games. It was just to boring. Maybe I need more injection of power fantasy in my life, pretending to be a king instead of a normal person.

The sims is great ,but does get tedious if you play to just the best. I always find burning a few husbands/wives/ ramdom passerbys in my garden chamber of death to be fun.
Or you could just go buy the expansion packs instead.

Tried it, watched all the little images supposedly programmed to be "people," almost fell asleep at the keyboard in less than an hour, uninstalled it. :D

Epona 02-12-2002 05:37 AM

I thought it was really funny. I was transfixed by it for a couple of months, then I realised that I was sitting in front of a screen watching some really boring cyberlives being played out.

Bahamut 02-12-2002 06:56 AM

it is very addicting.. but then as theye said gets boring when you get stop promoted, doing the same thing over and over which is sleeping and eating and going to work...

unlike DIablo of BG, this makes forget about the time, BIG TIME. so if you don't wanna feel like times is just flowing like water as it is, don't play it ;)

Remove the bit about getting promoted, and that's my life :D - but I don't pee myself quite as often ;)

Harkoliar 02-12-2002 09:18 AM

i never liked it... its ok for me to watch it but i got really bored in 10 mins.. what would it be like for me to play it??

note: being a robber looks fun though.. or a police man.. you get to think [img]smile.gif[/img]

Jorath Calar 02-12-2002 10:30 AM

Ugh I hate that game sooo much... I played it for a while, then realised...Wow, I'm controlling the lives of ordinary people just like me... how much does your life suck if you actually enjoy it...?

the most fun I had was when I downloaded skins and had Chewbacca, Rob Zombie and Billy Corgan live together... the word "mess" did get a new meaning... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ditto! That was what I was thinking! At least they got the message right... ;)

Well now I hope BG or Diablo can be lifelike... hehehe [img]smile.gif[/img]
