Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Great just as good as the normal sims

I thought that the game was really good, as good or maybe even better than the normal sims games. It has nearly all the same things (some things have gone but there are also some new things eg. furniture). I bought it for my laptop but it didn't work because i didn't have a good enough graphics card, so i had to use my desktop instead, so if you are buying it for your laptop/notebook then you should check you have all the right specifications. I really liked the stories they should try a bring it into the normal versions.
