a really awesome, addictive PC game

User Rating: 9 | The Sims (DVD) PC
Gameplay - Playing The Sims is all about controlling the life of a Sim (a man or girl called sims in this game).
You must build their skills get them a career maximize their social life and keep their motive bars up like "Fun" in order to keep that up watch TV or play pinball read books whateva, "Energy" how much sleep you get, etc.
In The Sims and just The Sims alone the only options in the game you have is career, skill building, social life and motives, but if you get the expansions you can really expand your options to making awesome house partys going on dates becoming a superstar etc.
There is no aspiration choices like on Sims 2 so if you wanna actually achieve something (achieve something as in do storymode or aspirations) in a Sims series other then just mindlessly filling motives and skills, you might wanna stick to Sims 2 and do the aspirations or Sims / Sims Bustin Out on console and do the storymodes.
