The Sims

Hello...I was just wondering what everyone thought about The Sims with the new release of the expansion pack "Makin Magic".

Sims is probably the dullest game I've ever tried. But if you like it, feel free to try that expansion pack. I'm sure it doesn't "promote witchcraft" since it's just a game...

Haven't played it myself... but I'm sure it will be like most Sim games - pointless and addicting for no real reason. Eh... I'm in the who cares catagory so I didn't vote.

its a game, they're not trying to make a statement

I love the Sims, but I haven't bought Makin Magic. nothing against my beliefs (I think it's just for fun) but I haven't heard any reviews on it. does anyone have the new Makin Magic and have any comments? thanks

Other so I guess I gotta say why I hate it! I had the first box when it came out and wound up giving it away. It was way to simplistic and had no option to be played online. Very few games hold my interest unless I can play it with someone else. True, then there was the sims online but I heard the game was a flop and the community a very strange one to say the least.

As for the witchcraft, homosexuality, premarital sex well I have not been keeping up with the Sims franchise but Im not surprised at all that it has all that stuff in it. I recall the creator of the sims being criticized for a homosexual depiction in another sim game some years ago.

That game is addictive. If I had more time and less other games distracting me, I'd never stop playing it.

The game is like life-you make choices. I did get rid of a wife by having her drink poison. One of them is a ghost that scares and wakes my present wife character up on occasion by scaring us. Oh yea, one of my guys has six wives-he must be Morman. His life is a horrible nightmare because they fight over his attention. Shame on me!

At the end of the day when it comes down to playing the sims, it depends what's in your heart and how you rule the sims lives.
I have churches and ministers in my city and can see no harm in that.
The only problem i have with it, is that i was taking care so much of my virtual family i was negleting my real family!
If people make their sims live a hedonistic and depraved life then i understand why some people would be against it, but remeber its the person who decides what happens in their cities. The makers of the game put in all kinds of play modes as they want to sell the game to as many people possible!

I play games to escape real life. I never understood how pretending to play real life would be fun. Apparently I'm one of the few.
Now if I could play a vampire, an immortal being who kills people and sucks their blood, yeah, the sims might be cool.

Playing real-life games like the Sims makes you think it gives you a better understanding of life, but in reality it only gives you entertainment so therefore it is not exactly the same of real life. No matter how convincing it is, simulation games are always somehow different from real life. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so entertaining.

Well, that is my view, at least.

I think it's great... I don't see anything wrong with it at all!

I don't agree with it... there are too many things in it that go against my beliefs (homosexuality,

It dosen't matter... I don't like the game, anyway.
