Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
The first thing I noticed about this game is the great improvement over the original Sims. The pack is awesome, it has the Nightlife, and the Celebration Stuff Expansions. They really add a lot to the game. Visually the game is brilliant, very captivating, and you can spent hours customizing it to look just like you imagine it. You start off by choosing your neighborhood, and here you have three ready ones, or you can make your own from scratch. Then you can start making your own sim, you can choose everything, from hear color, to jaw width, skin tone, makeup, absolutely everything. This is a really fun part, and probably the most enjoyable part of starting the game. Then you start building a house for your beloved sim. I am not so great at making houses, so I just chose a very basic one, and fiddled around with the options. The menu is laid out very well, I found it quite easy to navigate, choose wall types, for instance, and what kind of wallpaper I like, etc. I found it a bit confusing when it comes to furniture and rooms, cause they are a bit mixed up, but I think you can just put anything you fancy anywhere really.
Then you start taking care of your Sim, meeting goals, and needs like sleeping, and eating, and showering, etc. These keep your Sim happy, and then you have to start looking for the aspiration meter and fill that up in the best way possible.
I did not very much enjoy the fact that there is a lot to do, but time passes really quickly which is a shame really, if you get a job for instance, that is half a day gone, then the struggle is to try and meet all these basic needs and trying to fill the aspiration meter gets very tricky. Cause if you need to meet the hunger, hygiene, and comfort needs, that would alone take the rest of the day. So that makes it a bit repetitive, and would not leave you time to do some real fun stuff with the Sim. The expansion packs are brilliant, especially the nightlife one, you can take your sim, (you could buy a car for it), and go to a nightclub, have some fun.
Really brilliant game, you can spend hours one it, and this is just this version, not to mention the other expansion packs available. I would recommend that you start off with this one, even if you have never played the Sims, this will get you hooked, and if you get bored of it, which I doubt, you can install other expansion packs. Excellent game, and real fun.
