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.
