I have just recently gotten this and am already totally hooked .... I like designing houses and decorating and this is the coolest game .... just love it
Game is great, I already know this from past exprience, it keeps crashing on one of my machines, probably because of the graphics card, but hopefully I can get it to work on my old one. Thanks, the delivery was very fast!
Product arrived promptly, works fine in our old computer, and is giving my 14-year-old daughter hours--too many hours--of enjoyment! A perfect success. (Note: I haven't actually tried the game myself.)
the sims 2 is a good game, addictive and i like building the homes a lot. i found out you can put basements in homes. its not that hard to do either. the only thing is, is the fact that no natural light will come into the basement but you can make the basements quite deep. if you have the double deluxe version, go to the night life expansion and go downtown, look for a large house that cost about 83,000 dollars and click on it. if you drop down a floor you will find a very deep basement. im not gonna say whats at the bottom of the basement. you have to find out yourself. the graphics are nice too, sometimes the game lags put i can deal with it. the double delux comes with the game and 2 expansions but even with those its still not a lot of stuff. i mean dont get me wrong there is plenty of things to build a home with, but you will quickly tire of using that and would want to make your home more unique. example is that they only have two fridges to choose from. if you buy this you better get ALL the expansion packs if you want to get the most benefit out of the game. i like the aging process and the goals that you need to achieve in the game too. i bought mine around may of 2009. i stopped playing it around july of 2009 and started up again this month and for some reason the game and computer runs better.
Prior to installing The Sims2 Double Deluxe I was playing newer games with higher requirements. None had issues. My primary DVD drive was reading/working perfectly. My secondary DVD drive was writing/working perfectly.
I got to play a little bit of Sims2 Double Deluxe before full disaster but I had to turn all video settings down, wait for painfully long loading screens, and endure crashes and/or lock-ups that would not clear without powering down.
The Body Shop portion of the game never opened for me. None of the EA suggested fixes worked. I loved the original Sims and from what I saw of "Double Deluxe" it appeared to be a 4 star game, but I could not launch it at all in my primary drive or continue to use it on my secondary drive.
I read the EA forums, googled my error messages, and read some of your reviews before I realized SecuROM was to blame. The SecuROM customer service did respond to my email and has continued to try and help; but, sadly, their suggested fixes only added new problems.
I went from not being able to play this one game, to not being able to read ANY DVD on my primary DVD drive and not being able to write on my secondary drive.
I believe there are versions of this game that work fine but I will not take that chance. My next steps will be to; try and uninstall SecuROM, try to reinstall both DVD drives, and throw away the game.
