I loved the Sims game and had a blast playing it before the Sims 2 came out and blew away the older game! If your computer is not compatible with Sims 2 and the heavy-loading graphics, Sims is just as fun and easy to play. I give this 9/10 because Sims 2 is of course the better game, but loved the time I had while playing the first one as well.

Wow, this is another big one. The Sims, a game that has taken up way too much of my time when I was younger. Completely addicting and it it took a long time to become uninteresting. When I listen to this music, my heart always sinks and I get really sentimental. I makes me wonder how time passes so quickly and that sometimes "Growing up" really sucks. But the music remains to be one of the most beautiful in this world and I'm so glad that this was part of my childhood. *sniff*"

"This game was fun to play now and then as your Sim, but I really just liked to cheat and give myself a zillion Simoleons and make a huge and decked-out house."
