Addictive. That pretty much sums up my experience after having played The Sims 2 Double Deluxe and even still does to this day. Many real hours have passed by as I defiantly fought sleep in an attempt to keep my Sims in a happy blissful state without having their needs deteriorate or worse yet burning down the multi-simoleon hacienda I built for my well-to-do sim.
If not for the need to purchase other similarly addictive expansions being on a budget, this game would have easily gotten five stars. Though the game does include the one expansion "Nightlife" and "Celebration Stuff" add-on in addition to the nifty DVD with bonus content to be fair.
Nevertheless The Sims 2 Double Deluxe was well worth my time and money. Now if you excuse me I have to be getting back to the kitchen before my sim sets the house on fire...again.

Excellent Game with Tons of Expansions, If you have a creative mind Sims 2 can be limitless! Graphically a HUGE LEAP from the original Sims. Build your own home, Download TONS of Extras, Create and Design your own custom clothes and MUCH MUCH More!
If you like this game you may love Sim City, or the new Sims 3 coming in 2009!

Ah, the Sims. Wonderful little creatures that obey our every commands, making us feel like God, only without some smart-a$$ coming along and nailing things to cathedral doors.
You're doubtless quite familiar with the Sims as a premise. Basically you create and control people. You run every aspect of their lives. You make them do their bidding, and if that means building a house full of nothing but wooden furniture and fireplaces, then by gum, you can do that!
"Sims 2" is a massive improvement over the original game. It took everything that was good about the original and basically set it to eleven, while toning down a lot that wasn't so great (you don't have to micromanage your Sims nearly as much). With this game you get a whole new set of bells and whistles, including a 3D enviroment, Sims that actually age and will eventually die of old age (provided you aren't the sort who tells them to go swimming and then deletes the ladder so they can't leave the pool. Mwa-ha-ha-ha!), new jobs, new aspirations, new gizmos, new building options, etc, etc!
It can be kind of overwhelming at first, but if you start out small the game will guide you, and you'll soon be running people's lives just like that one aunt you have who thinks she knows exactly how everyone should do things and loves to tell you, at length, about how you're messing up your life!
This pack includes the original game, the "Nightlife" expansion pack, which adds dating, a new area for the Sims to visit and vampires! You also get the "Celebration Stuff" pack, which gives you a lot more new stuff to use to decorate your Sims homes for the holidays! It's a pretty complete package, but you'll probably also want to pick up The Sims 2 University Expansion Pack, which adds another set of places to go, things to do, and a whole new life-stage (young adult).
I can't say enough good about this game, and the only real flaw is that, as I alluded to, you'll lose your social life. But you'll have your Sims, and that will at least somewhat make up for it!

Okay, I usually don't do reviews but I had to do one for this game. It's simply amazing. Three games for the price of one is enough to make this a worth while purchase but the game play just puts it over the top! I've heard about the Sims for awhile now but it just didn't interest me at the time. Then I purchased the game for my PSP and I liked it enough to purchase it for the PC.
And I was blown away.
To me it's WAY better on the PC and the game is more engrossing. I just can't pull away from it and most days I'm playing it well into the morning. To anyone who's never played you don't know what you're missing. Don't believe the hype? Purchse the game and you'll be a believer.
Rating: - Great for any age, or hour.
Prepare to spend many many many fun-filled and amazing hours at your computer after purchasing this product. If you're getting it for your children, prepare not to see them till they're in their early 20's.
This game is addicting and extremely fun. Everytime you turn it on its a new world to explore and change. Not to mention the fact that this version of the Sims 2 comes with an expansion pack AND stuff pack for the price of the original game alone! Its a great deal that anybody who doesn't own the Sims 2 should not pass by!
