Video Game Reviews of The Sims Mega Deluxe (The Sims / House Party / Livin' Large / Hot Date)
Customer Review: Entertaining but becomes boring and/or frustrating quickly
Summary: 3 Stars
The Sims - more of the same with each expansion pack: Pick an individual or a group of individuals, move them into a house, get them some very basic furniture, send them to work, buy more furniture, try to keep them entertained, make them study cooking and/or other subjects, make sure they make friends with their neighbors so that they get promoted and earn more money so that can improve their house... and so on, and so on.I admit that I have never managed to make my Sims happy without using cheat codes. They don't start with enough money ("Simoleons") to buy quality furniture, which means they don't get enough rest, entertainment, nourishment, etc. That leaves them depressed and tired, which in turn keeps them from studying and/or exercising, which means that they don't get promoted and don't earn enough money to buy better furniture.
Then there is the issue of friends: your Sims need friends in order to be happy and also to get promoted. Once your Sim has made friends with someone, the relationship needs nurturing, otherwise your Sim loses friendship points and eventually the relationship itself. Making friends isn't hard, but keeping the relationship going is - especially if your Sim has to work. There are only so many hours in a Sim's day, and especially in the beginning, those hours are spent working, studying, preparing meals, sleeping, etc.
My main criticism, however, is that their children never grow up. How boring! The game would be much more interesting if they became teenagers and wreaked havoc on the neigborhood!
Customer Review: it is boring
Summary: 1 Stars
this game is boring. if you want a good game dont get a simulator, especialy a life simulator, if your "mood bar" gets really low you cant get the people happy again unless you move wich makes no sense, i think if your depressed and you move you will be more depressed, when you move you have to buy all new stuff. THis game suck and it is very boringCustomer Review: this is a better deal but!!!!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a better deal but of course if u got double deluxe u probably got it around christmas i forgot how to spell christmas which was a long time ago. but this is still great it would have been better if they just put the game out in chrismas but they r money hungry jerks. but come on how hard is it to make a sims game that comes with three games not 1 not 2 but 3 that would have been a lot better and of course the new sims is coming out in two months on the same day as my b-day. mega deluxe probably didnt have any sales really because why buy the sims now why not buy sims 2 in a couple of months.now on to the gameliven large:great fun,i think in this one u can have gay marriges lol u will find out how fun liven large is but i still think superstar is better and makin magic.
hot date: u can download make a date on thesims.com which u can make the perfect date or just make a jerk. and if u dont want to be married to someone what i would do is kill them of like rats.
house party: a lot easyer to make friends because partys r easyer to throw. u just go to the phone and it should say throw party or somthin like that and try to have a good party or the mime will come which the guests dont like to much and what i have heard is that the mime steals stuff i dont no if it is true.
hope u buy the sims and the sims 2 or at least just the sims 2.

I purchased the Double Deluxe version and thought I was getting a great deal. I should have waited for THIS one! It's got the best expansion packs you'll ever want. Superstar, Unleashed, Makin' Magic, they're all according to taste, but this is a definitive set for TheSims. If you want to play TheSims, this is the package to buy. It's not 3D graphics, but it plays beautifully and is a FUN way to kill time. Two thumbs up from me!
