The Sims

Does anybody else play The Sims on the computer? I like The Sims 2, and I got a couple of the expansion packs, university and open for business. I also hear that there is going to be a Sims 3 coming out next year.

For the first time ever, I just played Sims 2 on Xbox the other day. It was given as a gift. I didn't think I would like it but I do ! I nearly starved my Sims girl to death because I could not figure out how to feed her. Seems that she has to pay for food in her own fridge. I finally figured out that talking and flirting will earn her some cash, so luckily she got to chow down on a steak

. I'm not very far into the game, but it certainly looks addicting.

It really is addicting! I prefer the computer version of the game, it's just easier to play and there seems to be so many more options. Either way, it's such a fun game, everytime I start playing I want to play for hours.

That's why I walk away from the Xbox at times

. I know once I start playing that game that I will be there for hours on end. I wonder if there are any other games out there like Sims? In a way I think GTA San Andreas is kind of like a violent version of Sims, because you have to make sure your character eats, works out, and maintains relationships.

I never really thought about that, GTA kind of is like The Sims, just with guns.

There are a couple of games like The Sims, but nothing spectacular. There is one called Singles (I think) that is kind of like The Sims but more centered on relationships. I haven't played it though.

I have Sims 1 and Sims 2 for the computer. I play Sims 2 occasionally but I don't have as much time as I used too. I also heard about Sims 3. it is supposed t come out sometime between 2008-2009. I can't wait for it.

I have borrowed the Sims 2 from a friend and am enjoying it so far. I will probably buy the newer one when ti comes out in a year or two.

^ You should really get it as soon as you can so you actually own it because it is an awesome game. I am finding though that sometimes the game will freeze my computer up and I have to restart it. Is anyone else getting this problem? I think it is just because I have a bad graphic card.
