Software Reviews and Criticism

  It’s… meh.. I wouldn’t get it

  Don’t get me wrong, when you first start, it looked like it was going to be a very fun game with a lot of replay value. But the (quite ironically) reccurring problem I’ve had with many Sims games is that they are extremely repetitive, and sometimes downright confusing or infuriating. I’m getting the Sims 4 soon, and I hope it’s not as repetitive. After a while, some tasks become more of a burden or a chore rather than a fun experience, such as keeping vampire Sims alive. Yes, I have tried everything, and no, nothing seems to work. I wouldn’t buy it again, mostly because I had to wait about three hours for the download. Normally you’d have to wait an hour and a half, but still, I wouldn’t take an hour out of my day for this. The redeeming qualities of this game are there, but they’re just overshadowed by the amount of bad qualities. I was also dissapointed that there was no story mode as well. Story mode was a very fun asset of the individual games, and I was hoping that would be added. Overall, this game has left a bad taste in my mouth, as do most games on my Windows, my advice? Just get a game on another system, you’ll definitely get way more enjoyment out of it.

  GET IT!!!!!!

  if u are reading this to know to get or not I think you should! I was VERY sad when my sims 3 game stopped working, i baught it fir the wii but the sims 3 evperience just wasnt the same! ive played the sims 2 on friends computers before I HATED IT, after playing the sims 3 it fells dull and idiotic, but i thaought for it being on sale right now for only 15 dollars it would be better then sims on the wii, i downloaded it, and because of the fact that Windows is constantly upgradaing this game, it is amazing. Ive played the sims 4 but the sims 2 now has way BETTER GRAPHICS then the 4th game. I was blown away by the ADORABLE NEW PETS that were added, the pools and new age groups it is just like the sims 3 but better, i didnt like the sims 4 because there is no toddlers or any of my favorite functions from the sims 3, it also giver less in the base game. basiclly the sum of this is if u wannna upgrade from the sims 3 without having the stupide annoying thins on the sims 4 this is oddly the way to go!!!!! sorry bout the typos!!

  Same Game--Love it: HOWEVER.

  UPDATE: This GAME is about to be Obsolete and unusable for future Windows OS systems! DO NOT BUY because ASPYR is NOT going to update this game! Now, saying that, this is what's wrong with it now. They don't have any plans of fixing the problems. I don't know the arrangement that keeps this company from having ALL the Sims 2 Games like before but you'd think they would have fixed the glitches (they didn't no matter what they tell you). The skins are off (dark faces/white bodies), Sims take babies and toddlers to the bathroom with them when 'they' go, they awkward carry grocery basket, guest refuse to leave after you ask them to go, Sims often won't follow commands immediately--sometimes it takes hours in "Sim" time. Little things like that keep this from getting 5 stars from me (and I have the most recent interface on a Windows). It is definitely the same old game you love with the same old glitches Aspyr is not going to fix so I wouldn't keep asking them. In fact, I don't see Aspyr upgrading this game so don't waste your money. I was fun while it lasted though. Just Get Sims 4.

  Awesome game!

  I got a new Pc about Christmas time. I loved playing sims free-play, and i was excited to see that there is sims 2 collection. I suggest this game to any sim lover. I was also happy I got it for half off. This game is much better than sims free play only because you can speed up time, send your sims off to college, you can get your charaters jobs, your children can go to school, and you can have pets. The only down side about this game is your sims can get the flu ,and you can be visited by the Grim-Reaper, or the Social worker if you dont take care of your sims properly. Or your pets can run away, but I still enjoy the game. If you get Blue Water Village you will see that there is shops, restraints, markets, and there is Lead's gym. But, I was kind of especting this and I would still recomend this game. I hope this review helped you, and I hope you enjoy the game if you get it.

  Im not quite sure if they've fixed the bugs....

  I have a Windows mini and it works 100% fine on my computer. If you wanna take the chance and spend $30 to buy it I would because it is definetly worth it if it does. Some things I've learned from past sims games is that they are often very large and need a lot of time to boot up. THis game seems to boot up fairly quickly for a sims game and I enjoy playing it. But as ive learned from playing the sims with many expansions and regarding their size do not spam click or try to rush the computer that causes my sims 3 game to crash and would likely result in this gaem crashing too. Just let the game take its time booting up and do not try to rush it. Evem with the sims 4 on origin if you clicked on the icon too many times it would cause the auio to fail and you would have to boot up the game another time which takes even linger than just waiting for the game to take its time in the First place. DO NOT RUSH YOUR GAME LET IT TAKE ITS TIME. I have not encountered any of the bugs other reviewers have mentioned but i read a previous comment about how older computers run the game better. I cant remember how old my Windows is but it is at least 6 years old. Older computers seem to run the game better so warning if your computer is extremely new iI probaby wouldnt bother... Although my computer runs the game fine.
