After about 150 hours of playing this game, its more than safe to say that I can write an honest review about this masterpiece. I can seriously sit down and play this game for several hours and still finding the need to pry myself off at the end. This game is so big and has so many things to do, its crazy. Trust me, you will not get bored of this game any time soon. The thing that I have found most addicting is making awesome houses within a neighborhood of lame people that you create. It is actually sad how amazing I am at interior design now because of this game. And even though my computer can't handle playing this game on anything lower than than lower than the lowest settings the game has to offer, I don't even care. I don't really have words to describe how much I love this game.
Pros. - Unrealistically addicting - Tons upon tons of stuff to do - Watching your neighborhood grow is really fun to watch - Very easy to get the hang of - Tons of house customization options - Creating sims is way fun - You can do close to whatever your heart so desires
Cons. - If you have a crappy computer (like me) then it can get really buggy - You will have no social life after buying this game
