Apart from me :D ? One of the best games ever I must say :)

Myself my favourite Sims game has to be the pc version of The Sims 2, I have the entire collection of Expansion packs and have just recently got the stuff packs thanks to downloading the sims 2 ultimate collection :) .

For those who haven't played The Sims, I'd recommend giving it a try :D awesomely addictive, when I'm on it for ages I forget I'm on a game and not in real life.

I love the Sims. I didn't play the Sims 2, but I played the original & the Sims 3. I prefer designing buildings in the game.

Unfortunately I can't install my disks on this PC at Uni but back home I used to play The Sims 2 tons. I had all the expansion packs IIRC but I had to uninstall the vacation one because it was too bloaty and laggy. My favorite thing to do was to download custom furniture, turn grid snapping and orthogonal directions off and design intricate spaces (that lacked functionality). I really liked the design and build aspect over the life sim part. My favorite thing to build was an attached garaged using that other command to enable walls to snap to adjacent tile heights and favorite room was definitely eat-in kitchens.

Oh the business expansion was fun too when I gave it a go. Unfortunately I was not that great at it so eventually I resorted to using the force-buy cheat/command to get would-be customers to purchase thousand dollar TV sets. I tried at least!

Doesn't sound good to me.


Oh, it's very good ;) I still get off for food, fresh air and going out :) it's just an awesome feeling from playing a videogame I like so much.

I like both parts, the building and the life part, I find running a business is easier if

1) You don't have the shop open all the time, a little time for the shop to be closed and employees at home gives all the sims some time to rest.

2) you have items at a cheap price to start off with so more people want to buy (and to start with you might want to have a couple of sims having a job to bring in some extra money too), once you have more customers from a higher business rank, however with more customers and a sim to sell items you can get a good few items sold (the wholesale business perks on open for business are amazing for making more profit.

so what do you like building on the sims?

YES.

Agile Elnan was my first sim to kick the bucket :( It was from old age tho. Then my Skwysh sim got stuck under a house boat while looking for f00d. Sailing skill.
