Best Game Ever!
PostedDecember 7, 2009
Well, this is my very first sims on the computer, and I love it! This game has thousands of custumization options, and it has places you can go, like the Park, the Cloting store, Town pool, and the game store. You have to fill out your sim's needs. But I have no idea why the people are called sims. But they have aspiration. They have goals and wants. You can have awesome houses and you can get married, have kids, and tons of other stuff! You can have different jobs and promoted up to high paying jobs. Jobs can go from Mayor of the town to a criminal. Controls are good, interface is awesome, Sound is cool, Graphics are awesome Realism is great. The customization clothes is good, you can customize everyday clothes, underwear, swimwear, Pajamas and formal wear. Over all I give it a 10 out of 10.

The characters are called sims because sims stands for simulated person

A truly great game! I highly reccomend it!
PostedOctober 16, 2009
When I first purchased the Sims 2: Double Deluxe, I instantly knew it would be a great game. For the first three days of owning it, I was completely lost in the world of sims. It combines the wonder and whimsy of the classic sims 2, and adds the bonus locations and of course, vampires, of nightlife. In addition, it has a wonderful array of decorations for formal occasions. Of course, it does have it's flaws. For example, the alleged "vampires" in this game cannot drink blood, and stupidly walk into the sun repeatedly. On one occasion, I had a family of four vampires. While two of them were woo-hooing, the other two stepped out into the daylight and were burnt to a crisp; One of the lovebirds didn't notice they were gone until after the woohoo, and the other doesn't have their deaths in her memories at all! This made me laugh so hard. Sorry if I dwelled on that detail, but I am unhealthily obsessed with vampires. I found the locations you can visit in this game to be rather enjoyable, but boring after awhile. overall, this is a great game, and highly reccomendable if you are into social simulations. There are several cheats that made this game more fun for me, so I'll share them. Hopefully they'll enhance your simming experience as much as it did mine. (to bring up the cheat window, press ctrl shift and C at the same time) maxmotives (maxes out all needs) motherlode (gives you 5,000 simoleons) boolprop testingCheatsEnabled true (shift click on a sim, and the possibilities are endless!)

OKay here's the final dip. My friend Kayla has the Sims 2 Double Deluxe version of the amazing, realistic, and most entertainging game ever! I came over her house when she got the game. I slept over her house for 2 nights because I was mezmorized! In the feature- you can do the following Create your own realistic home, Become Pregnant or Adopt, Have an occupation, Own a car, Pay Bills, Go shopping, Go to school, and waaaaay more. There are soo many things that you can enjoy and hold beloved to your "I will never give up" list. Mine are my cell phone, sims game, family, and life, and uh food/water. Sims 2 Double Deluxe has terrific features that contribute to the learning of how to actually make a living. When i grow u, my husbands walking the dog and washing the dished! In the game by hubby is sooooo neat that when my toddler plays with the water in the toilet (tip, keep your toddlers out of the toilet!) he litterally blamed it on me, put Gracie in her bed and quit work the next day complaining that the house was sooo mesy. As, one can see, this game is AWESOME! Like Gooshness! I can't even explain the Amazmet!

I really love the sims 2 and can not wait for the sime 3 to come out. I think this a really good game worth buying. The real life feeling from the game is the best part. The graphics are amazing and life like. I love when the reaper comes in the game if the sims die and then they pass down whatever was owned to children. They also have a will and gives certain amount of money to different family members. The sims 1, 2 are AWESOME! and im sure 3 will be. All the expanison packs are amazing. Me and my mother had to buy two everything. The most recent one is the apartment life which is awesome lol!. I like the fact that when you get out of college you actually can get an apartment like a freshly graduated college student would actually do and then being able to have a pet tops it off because i love animals. I love the sims and love the creators for making the sims YAY!.
