"Unite all haters of THE SIMS"

The Sims stinks. It is tedious, rubbish, boring, monotonous, illogical, strange and full of mindless gibberish that sounds like French being spoken like a Dutch mule on cocaine. The only good things you can do on it usually involve 'lawbreaking'. So why do people (mostly women I'd guess) play it?

I have played well over 150 games in the past 12 years or so. I have a lot of experience. The Sims is worse than games I was playing before I started School, it's such rubbish. Need I say no more, Hobbo. Don't you REALISE IT IS ONE OF THE WORST GAMES MADE?

But the expansion packs add so little content for such a large price. EA could easily have made these add-ons free, or even more cheaply would have been acceptable. But they insist on taking advantage of people's addiction by drawing out the process into loads of tiny chapters.

Some may see the constant releasing of expansion packs as a cynical rip-off, with EA milking the cash cow, but you must also look at it from the point of view of fans of The Sims who really enjoy playing it and so getting new stuff to add to their little universe is cool.

I don't like the Sims, but one thing I hate about the game is the way EA market it. 6 expansion packs (5 out now, and one more on it's way) which do expand in certain areas to an extent, but really add nothing to the game on a whole. I'm keen to see just how many of these expansion packs EA can force on on it's legions of fans before they start to get sick of the game.

When then happens, along comes The sims 2, which is basically the original Sims, but with improved graphics and a few tweaks here and there. The for the next decade, nothing but expansion packs for the game until The Sims 3 comes along. A typical EA strategy.

The trouble is, it's a game with potential to be allot more than an interactive doll house, but I don't think EA will push the game any father, especially when it could jeopardize future sales, because as most of know, EA are only in it for the money.

I agree it is amazingly boring andalthe game is about is you watching a family living their lives while you sit down when you could be doing something more productive. its just living a life but you ruin your eyes and waste your money whle your doing it.

Well said.

If you like The Sims, that's OK, enjoy the game and be happy. But, if you hate The Sims, just shut up about it and play something else instead of going on about how much you hate it all the time.
Simple really.

I think you need to check those testosterone levels mate.

I've said it before, and I'll likely say it again. Sims was original and brilliant, but the franchise got out of hand and it became irritating.

A lot of people discount it without playing it because it's too different to what they normally play, which is nothing short of sad.

I wouldn't play this game now, but I did when it was released, and I probably spent a total of about 40-50 hours before I got bored of it, which is more than some final fantasy games.

the sims is proberly interesting to start with but geting boring soon after, my mate (a lad ho ho) installed sims on the college computers (naughty boy heh) and was showing the rest of us how to build a house and raise a family then we got bored so he tried to set the house on fire which didn't work :( then I said stuff this whos for a game of Quake 3.
*dreams of Quake 3 frag fests*
oh they were the days, half the class blasting each other on Quake 3 while the stupied teacher dosn't even know heh.
