 excellent game, endless fun February 7, 2009

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.

I recently purchased this item and am very pleased with it. There is a lot you can do and certainly more items and features. It includes Sims Nightlife which means VAMPIRE SIMS! I know right, sounds cool (:
You can become a vampire, bite other sims and fly around the place as a bat.
Be sure not to venture outside in the daylight - you will perish.
DELUXE! December 20, 2009
O. reynolds
Great game! I own alot of sims games for ps2, ds,wii but the pc version is by far the best and the sims 2 double deluxe is 3 great games in one! In the pc version you can get expansion packs to expand your sims world. You can get married, have kids, buy a car, go on holiday, open your own shops, go to university and the list goes on(if you have the right expansion packs). Amazing! Well worth the money! Doulble deluxe has the normal sims 2 game, sims 2 night life and sims 2 celerbration stuff.
A very addictive game... November 20, 2009

This is the first SIMS game I have purchased. I only got this version because the graphics card on my PC won't support SIMS 3.
I have previously purchased games such as Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 and 3 & Zoo Tycoon 2 and I think I do prefer those games to SIMS 2. Although SIMS 2 is still a very addictive game, and I find that hours pass by very quickly when playing this game.
I can't comment on any improvements on SIMS as I have never played the earlier version.
Overall, I consider this was a good purchase and I keep playing it, so it can't be that bad!
AMAZING, AND IT WORKS ON VISTA!!! August 23, 2009
Mrs. N. Hallett (Warminster, England)
this game rules! i bought it, unsure of whether it works on vista, i inserted it into my laptop, and it works. Not only that, it works amazingly, with loading taking no more than 20 seconds, and usually about 10! so doubly whammy, as its on a laptop, and on vista! I was extatic! Amazing game and everything was perfect, the delivery, service and the price was cheaper than buying ordinary sims 2! bargain!
