Customer Reviews

Sims 2 rocks!

Although I thought I was getting the Deluxe Guide with Sims 2 and Night Life in it I'm still happy with the guide. There is a mistake in the Business career that has followed from guide to guide. It's the number of friends. It isn't correct. It goes from 1 to 0 to 1 again.

Whoa...

When I ordered this, I was expecting a small, slim little guide with a few tips and strategies. I mean, how much could there be to a computer game? So as you can imagine, I was surprised when I pulled out a thick, 366 page book that broke down everything you could ever need to know (and more) about The Sims 2 into sections, explaining and describing everything, in detail, from Sim genetics, pre-made neighborhoods and the pre-made families that inhabit them, NPCs, Sim memories, Sim death, building a house... okay, I'm confusing myself (and probably you). Here is the complete chapter/section list: --- Part One: The Basics -Chapter One: Getting To Know The Sims 2 -Chapter Two: Getting Started Part Two: Creating Families, Neighborhoods, And Sims -Chapter Three: Welcome To The Neighborhood -Chapter Four: Create-A-Sim And Genetics -Chapter Five: Simology Part Three: It's A Lot Like Life -Chapter Six: The Six Ages Of Sims: Playing The Generation Game -Chapter Seven: Needs -Chapter Eight: Aspirations, Wants, And Fears -Chapter Nine: Skills -Chapter Ten: Careers And School -Chapter Eleven: Social Interactions -Chapter Twelve: Family Life -Chapter Thirteen: NPCs -Chapter Fourteen: Community Lots -Chapter Fifteen: Objects -Chapter Sixteen: Disasters, Disease, And Death Part Four: All In The Family: Sims In Action -Chapter Seventeen: The Ex-Machina Family Blog Part Five: -Chapter Eighteen: Build Mode -Chapter Nineteen: Story Mode And Moviemaking -Chapter Twenty: Sim Autonomy -Chapter Twenty-One: The Sims 2 Body Shop -Chapter Twenty-Two: Custom Content -Chapter Twenty-Three: Appendix A: Cheats --- So, yes... if you play The Sims 2 at all, get this book. Even if you're just a casual player. I assure you, your Sim gaming experience will be much better. The only regret I have is not having this book around when I first started playing TS2.

Great buy!

If you don't get this book you won't fully understand all the featues of the sims 2. Everything you need to know is there.
