I have Sims 2 and really enjoy it. Be aware, Maxis tries to suck you in by releasing a new expansion pack every month or so for about $30. If you're just wanting to get into The Sims series now, I'd wait a few weeks, and pickup Sims 2 and the expansion packs. They'll probably have the prices slashed significantly, and may even be re-relased as a completed boxed set (it happened with the original Sims game). There are some things I don't like about Sims 3, and to be honest, I don't want to shell out for a whole new round of expansion packs, I think I'll be sticking with Sims 2 for a long while at least.

The better thing to do is build a big dance room, get all of the party guests in that room, move your character out of the room and then remove the door.

By the time they die they're poop'ed and pee'd all over the place, if you drop a stove in there they light fires, then they starve and die.

In the Sims 1 there were fireworks, so I would make a family of like 15 or however many was the maximum and put them in a house filled with fireworks and no doors, let them light all them and see who could survive the longest.

You can also dig a really deep hole and build a small basement with staircases. Send all your neighbours down there and then remove the stairs.

Does anybody else get the Disc Authentication Error? I've tried all the fixes that EA suggests and I still can't play the game.

The best out of all three was the first Sims. For one simple reason, I could download a ton of stuff for free from other users. I downloaded the animals, then I would make a family of 8. Stick 4 into one house, and 4 in the other. They weren't allowed to leave, and it was a survival-off to see who could last the longest (without dieing). Then I put about 50 pigs/dogs/sheep/etc. into each house and they would crap everywhere making life hell.

The Sims 1 is also where I made the name "Bob Fug" up. I used it for some ad. on the internet and they still send me junk mail to my REAL house, and they title it Bob Fug. I laugh everytime these idiots send me one.

I hated when I was in the midst of a great game, and then my entire kitchen would explode and this stupid clown would come and start laughing at me and setting everything on fire. That happened every single game.

The burglars are the biggest a-holes, they come at random times and steal the most impossible of things and there is no way to stop them. You should be able to set up traps or have a shotgun in your matress to shot him in the face because the cops never stop him and he always gets away with expensive things like T.V.s, computers and hot tubs.

How the fack do you fit a hot tub in a bag.

If you put a burglar alarm in the house, (it must be in every room that you have an outside doorway) then the cop will come in time.

I tend to just kill off players by removing the diving board from the pool, so uncreative compared to you sickos.

Or....You could just put a burglar alarm on the outside of his house, and it starts to go haywire even when he's still on the sidewalk. That works better.

Like Ozy said, put one alarm on the outside of your house. This works because the alarm is programmed to mointor an enclosed space; therefore, put it on the outside of the house and it monitors the entire property, since its boundaries are defined as the actual plot of land on which your house sits on.

The minute the burglar shows up ON THE SCREEN, the alarm goes off. Cops usually get him as soon as he enters the door.

Couldn't you just pause the game when the burgler enters your house and brick him in. then put the security alarm on the inside of his prison and watch him die?

You can't pause it when he is on your property.
