Anybody try it? I got interested after reading the story of a homeless father and daughter: http://aliceandkev.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/alice-and-kev/

So, I just bought it for $21 from some German seller on eBay who has promised to send me a download code.

Yeah that's a good story.
I don't have it yet. Might get it when it's cheaper.

This article is well worth checking out too:

Good God man, that is friggin depressing as all hell.  I want the Sims to be fantasy, like tossing Li'l Jaron into a pool without a ladder.
PDH!

Read the article I linked to, it's more like what you're looking for.

I'm relying on my sister buying it then stealing it when she's not looking.
Not too high on my list of things to get.

Cool link.

Call me skeptical, but that sounds like a rip off.

I have it. Played it for a couple of weeks. It's the best Sims game so far. And I got bored after 2 weeks, like with the other ones. :P

I played the first one but found it disconcerning.  My character became depressed and wouldn't leave the house. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

:lol:

That would make a great premise for a short story.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

That's what makes it a working premise; a clinically depressed man creates a SIM to live vicariously through; but the SIM ends up with clinical depression.

That's the makings of a classical tragedy alright.
PDH!

Princesca bought this yesterday.  I was watching her play and I can say that the graphics and character customization are vastly improved.
