User Comments about the The Sims 2: Double Deluxe

but just be careful. Ive played this game before and i absolutely LOVE IT. no doubts about that.I was just gonna buy it as a gift for someone and i was wondering if this DELUXE edition includes the original SIMS 2 CD for installation because as u know, u always need the original one in order to install the expansion packs on it later on.So plz, if there's anyone that can help me, ill be MORE than happy :)Thanks in advance.PS: I recommend this game. u might get TOO addicted.



I like it more than the original Sims game. It's fun to play and there are a lot more items and design options when you're making and decorating houses. There are also a lot more options when you make a Sim -- there's a lot of control over facial features, in particular.



The title says it all. Some people play for the drama, some play it like how they would want their own lives to be played, some play it to build homes, dream homes, or just love architecture, some play it to dress up their characters. Even older. Great game. I would say from 13 to late 20's play this game. SO MUCH IMAGINATION SO MUCH FLEXIBILITY SO MUCH SIMS.



She enjoys all of the Sims games. I am giving it as a gift. I have not yet tried this game. I am sure that the recipient will be happy with the game.



At least that is my assumption from the picture of a bed that appeared in the thought balloon. It laid down, got back up and again yelled at me that it was tired. Once installed I found that, even with the tutorial and manual, the instructions were lacking.The manual told me that I could order groceries delivered to my sim's house simply by calling. After spending most of my sim's money on food I found that I couldn't take it home. So all I could do was order pizza.I like that you have so much control over the sim's actions. And There is the tilt and pan.


Then missed its ride to work and got fired. When I got it home it took nearly 30 minutes to load. After reading so many great reviews I was looking forwarded to playing this game. This option was not available to the sim I created. I didn't have as much trouble raising my son as I did controlling these sims.I gave it 2 stars for fun because I enjoyed the experience of figuring out the controls.I gave it 2 stars overall because it is well done but like I said way too much work. Since my computer is brand new with lots of speed and memory this did not bode well.


After the fifth time it finally went to sleep. I haven't gotten that dizzy since the tea cups at Disneyland.If you are a control freak or just like games that require you to constantly be making decisions for your character this is the game for you. So I told it to go to sleep. I do not like that I have to tell it to do everything. It also said that I could go to the store and by food. At one point my sim told me it was tired and wanted to go to bed.


For me it just is way too much work.
