Works with MacBook [Posted on 2008-02-12] Not only is this game awesome, but it works on my MacBook (MacBook, not MacBook Pro). It runs even better than on my old PC. The Aspyr game agent doesn't recognize the video card of the MacBook, and the box even says that it won't run on an Intel Video Card, but it does and it runs great. Just make sure you have enough memory to play it. And, after you open it for the first time, go to www.aspyr.com to download the Universal Binary patch to make it run even faster. This is such a great game!
I liked Sim City better. [Posted on 2008-04-08] This game is hard to start up on my Mac Pro and won't even run on my Intel Mac mini. Getting it to run on the Mac Pro usually requires a reboot. I liked the game at first but lost interest after a short while. Sim City on the other hand, kept my interest for months.
Sweet Dude [Posted on 2008-04-24] It's so much better on a mac because I had it on PC before I switched over. First kisses and stuff like that have much better graphics to show the action. The whole game is awesome and knocks the the first sims out of the park as they say. So go play it! Just don't get suckered in and forget how long you've been on the computer.
fun and addictive [Posted on 2008-04-27] When I first bought this game, I put a lot of my life on hold. Embarrassing, but true. It was really fun and always had some new feature to find. (I don't read instructions too much.) After a while, I still play from time to time, and it doesn't get tired. I usually get bored with games quickly, so it's quite a feat. Sometimes I see people or houses or yards and imagine how I would create them in The Sims. It's a great game, better than the first by far.
decent game [Posted on 2008-06-09] For those who played sims 1, this game comes as a nice evolution - for those who are playing the game for the first time it's just as interesting. The game has added on some nice, interesting, quirks - but otherwise it's generally the graphics that make this game leap ahead in my mind.
Honestly, the game (like any of the sims) is time consuming and often tedious, because of that it didn't rate as well for me fun-wise. My favorite part of this game has always been being able to recreate or even create houses. For that reason the game rated somewhat better overall.
