The Sims: Do You Play It? Do You Cheat? Do You Just Build Houses?

I played the game before with 2 expansions, the vacation and dating packs. It was really fun and I was an addict in playing Sims. I too like to build huge mansions, a beautiful garden and a big swimming pool. Then, I will buy almost all stuff and put them in the house as decorations. I do not cheat hehe. It is fun to see your sim progress and get rich and be an astronaut. LOL!

I have done it both ways. At first (before I knew of the cheat codes) my sim was always depressed..lol but I managed to get her up and running right and healthy. I still play this game when I need distraction in my day, sometimes without the cheats as I do enjoy building the house(s) and furnishing my place. I swing back and forth from The Sims, The Sims 2, The Sims Pets, The Sims Pets 2, The Sims Bustin' Out and The Sims Urbs. We are looking for any of The Sims for the computer and waiting to purchase The Sims Castaway. Guess we are all kind of Sims nuts here :) .. LOL

I'm with you! :) I've got the cheat codes and I sit there replenishing my bank account and then build big elaborate mansions so that my neighbourhoods all look like gated communities. :) I wish my computer was better so I could play the big expansion packs on it, but sadly, they take up far too much space.

Sims is my favorite game. I like to fulfill my dreams in Sims. Such as I like to get married, have children and have a good career and live well. I don't cheat in playing games because I like to reach my goal by my efforts. This will be much more interesting.

I've got the sims with all the add ons, and sims 2 with most of the add ons, and also sims life stories (which i haven't got round to yet) I know what you mean, it is absolutely addictive!! I've gone on there for what i think is an hour only to realise i've lost 3 hours to it lol Like you i enjoy building up houses and filling them up. You say it is stressful at times because you can't, as in life fit it all in a day. This game is so good for de stressing though too, I don't know about anyone else but i find it quite theraputic to build up characters of people i know, maybe they've anoyed me that day, i can take it out on their character lol I do use cheats to get more money, but a fun way to do this is to have affairs get married get their money and then bump them off in funny ways, or anoy them so much you end up in a fight, and if that sim gets so stressed he/she will pack up and ship out lol Its great fun
