The complete package
Well, first I bought The Sims Deluxe with 1 expansion and that got old after a while but now that I have this with all the expansions I dont know if it could get boring. There is so much to do now like adopting pets and going downtown. The possibilities are endless!

Some good, some bad
Many things in this game get a five-star. But just as many get one star, so the average comes out to three.
Things that were awesome...
-All expansions within one. This game is so full compared to the original Sims, though it can be overwhelming at times.
-You play God. You can even kill your Sims, or have them go into gay relationships.
-Building houses is a real kick. I have one house that is Goth-style, one that is a villa, etc etc.
-I love the pet option that comes with Unleashed. Spells are fun to cast (Makin' Magic) and it's fun to go on Vacation. I haven't really done much in the Superstar area though.
-The clothes! Oh, the fashions that I can put my Sims in! (and this Complete collection has a program that lets you create your own fashions as well) As each expansion came out, more outrageous and wild fashions were available, so this collection has them all and then some. Thus, you could make a house AND a family that fit together, though the kids could have used a few more clothing options.
Bad things?
-Some of the 'rules' of the game are annoying... having to make a certain amount of friends to advance the job ladder. It was so time-consuming to keep Relationships and make them just so I could get a better-paying job.
-One thing that pisses me off is the Beanstalk in Making Magic. I desperately want a magic beanstalk but keep getting crappy things like the geraniums or the stupid Root. I got ONE crystal (out of seven possible ones), and several ordinary beanstalks. I have no patience to keep buying magic ingredients to make spells in the HOPE of getting a magic beanstalk, or more kinds of crystals. Shame on the creators of this game for the convoluted rules.
-Unrealistic time. It takes so many Sim-minutes to do simple things such as getting out of bed.
-The bills that the Sims have to pay just for the stuff that they already paid for. Seriously.
-I already had the Sims and four of its expansions before I bought the Sims Complete Collection. This was just a big money-making scheme (fortunately, I sold my single Sims games on eBay to recoup some of my money) I might buy Sims 2, but only when they stop making the expansions for Sims 2 and make a Complete Collection like they did for this one.
So, overall, 3/5 (or 6/10 stars) No wonder so many people used cheats, or hacked game objects for easier use or download.

Something for everyone, addictive, plays on and on!
This is by FAR my favorite game. My kids' favorite as well as far as pc games. I could go on and on about The Sims but will try to sum it up.
THIS is the collection you want if you don't want to go to Sims 2 yet. The graphics are older on this, you don't get closeups like on 2 (where you can zoom in and see what's inside the grocery store shelves, for example) but it's soooooo fun! Great for kids, adults, grandparents!
There are easy 'cheat codes' you can punch in so you don't need to work every day. You can spend the entire game shopping. I have built a house to look like a cabin we used to visit as kids, a house like on The Waltons lol All kinds of houses! Love to shop? Do you watch shopping channels all day or spend too much at the real stores? Sims will kick that habit as you can move into a ready made mansion or build from the foundation up! SUPER EASY to start, lots to master. Put up the lighting you like, the flowers you choose, everything!
**This game is perfect for someone who wants to design a real house by the way. Use The Sims to do it all, you can save a ton just using this game to do your floorplan, colors everything.
This great set has all the additional expansions as well. I never use Magic but it's here if you want to use it, or just don't! Then you have all kinds of other choices...get a pet! Don't forget to feed it or you WILL be sad when it dies and it's little headstone is outside your Sim house! Go on vacation! Fall in love...or don't! Read books to learn how to cook! Just so much fun.
Hint...not a cheat...get an alarm system for your house or people will steal your stuff :) and put a fire alarm in near the stove and fireplace or look out!!
Okay, I promised not to go on and on. If you have never played the Sims, this is the game for you. Until you are ready to move on to Sims 2, this is all you need in one box.

Bad Sims
If you had a choice to go to prison, or play the game, you would probably have more fun in prison and the game has bad graphics. If you want to try the free trial on Sims Online, you will wait all night for the download and then it won't even work. It wont Be Fun at all. After you read this, you might want to think of a different game to buy and never buy sims.
