I have all EPs of the Sims, including the Double Deluxe, and just love them. But what I like best about The Sims is building a house and a nice garden. After that I get bored with it and start building a new house on another plot. I have only recently uninstalled the game - again - and reinstalled it but left out "On Holiday", "Unleashed" and "Makin´ Magic. I don´t really care to go anywhere else but prefer to just stay in the Neighbourhood. I don´t want to go on holiday, also don´t like to have pets - nor get those strays coming over and therefore don´t want the Unleashed either. And Makin´ Magic isn´t all that either. So I only installed the Double Deluxe, which includes "Living Large" and "House Party", Hot Date (for the extra cool items) and, because the game runs very slow with only these EPs, I installed the Super Star as well, which makes the game run much faster. Anyone who had to uninstall and reinstall their game, knows how much trouble LL and HP can be when you want to reinstall those. With the Double Deluxe, the registration file has been taken care of and is no longer hidden somewhere on the computer so that you can´t reinstall LL or House Party. And as for cheats, press SHIFT+CTRL+C to get the cheat box up. Type: rosebud for an extra 1000 simoleons and press RETURN After that, just type this several times: !;!;!;!; but make the last ";" a different letter. Then press RETURN. A box will come up, saying that there is no such cheat. But keep your finger pressed on the RETURN button and watch as you get more and more money, the longer you press the RETURN button. When you are done, just delete that last letter in the grey box and press RETURN one more time. If you want to be able to pick up or add items that are usually out of reach, the outside of your garden, for instance, use this cheat: move_objects on and press RETURN. You will now be able to pick up everything and everyone and even pick up your Sims and put them somewhere else. LOL

When the origional sims came out I played it for ten hours straight. Then I came to see that it was more work than fun, and stopped playing. I hope they fixed that in the eps, cause if they didn't... then you're totally insane.

I hope they fixed that in the eps, cause if they didn't... then you're totally insane. Fixed the EPs? Are you talking about Living Large and its registration file that prevents us from reinstalling the EP? I mentioned that in my post above - it´s best to get the Double Deluxe which has LL and HP included and is now no longer a problem when you want to reinstall those EPs. And as for hard work, you are absolutely correct. But you can get a tool "SimEnhancer", with which you can give all your Sims a full 100 points of being able to cook and give them full charm and wisdom and all those things that they would usually have to read up on. Here is a link to the site that sells it, among other things. www.simenhancer.com/You can download the SimEnhancer for free and use it for 48 hours before it gets locked and you have to buy it. I bought it, doesn´t cost much, and it is worth every penny. BTW, Myke, maybe this thread goes into the Gamers Galore ??

I have the deluxe edition, hot date, vacation. and house party I have never encountered the probs that Valderra mentioned, but then again I have not played the game in a while and when I formatted my harddrive a few months ago, I never put the sims back on yet. Usually when I play I use a money cheat to build this huge house, then have my solo guy try to mack on every single female that comes by. I also got the nude patch(boy is my sim lacking downstairs), then also got the sex patch to well, you know The game is fun if you dont cheat and actually make the sims toil away in real life situations and barely pay the bills etc, but its even more fun to cheat. I once built a 2 story house and the downstairs had 2 bedrooms and a kitchen living room, bathroom, dining room, and the upstairs was nothing but a huge open area that had a dance floor over half of it and that sim was a huge party animal. Another time I made him an alcoholic, which was fun as well

There is a nude patch and a sex patch! I didn't know that. lol I love the Sims but I haven't played it since Christmas. I became too obsesed with it. I was so busy with their lives I forgot to live my own. lol I actually became very rich and have 100% maxed out all of the skills and stuff. But now I'm bored with her cuz there is nothing else to improve. lol So now I just make new people and use the money cheat and make them cool houses and stuff.

Do a google search for "sims nude patch" and "sims sex patch" and you will be able to download those patches I never liked the blurring out bit at all, which is whay I got the nude patch originally. I always hated it when my confirmed bachelor would fall in love and end up married. I always had fun killing her off and watching him sob in tears then mack on more woman the next day

I have the nude patch. You can get it from most Sims sites. Here is one site from where you can download it. Put all files into the "skin" folder. www.game-revolution.com/download/sims_nude.htm

I once tried to make my sim live an entire month in the bathroom with a little fridge in it and nothing else. No lights, no way out and no showers, just a toilet and a fridge
He died after something like 14 days and the idiot never used the toilet either, just pissed and shit himself

Supposedly you can go way more into detail with them in Sims 2
I read somewhere that you can now basically treat them to the way you want(Clothes, Underwear, etc). So if you prefer boxers, you can have your sim wear boxers, and if you are a virgin, you can have your Sim say he is a virgin to a woman and she will either laught at him and call him a loser or will repect that.
I so cannot wait to try some of this shit out with the Sims 2. I really can't wait to make a gay sim and hit on guys(which you can't do right now)

You can make women fall in love with women and men with men. If they have "talked" enough, and get to 100 points, you can get them to dance together and kiss and such. Not that I have tried it, I just know from different Sims sites.
