I remember playing the original Sims a loooong time ago. And besides the graphics, that is all that seems to have changed. You start off as a character of your creation, and you either buy a house or a plot of land, and work it from there.
You can earn money in other ways, such as painting, and prizes, but for the most part, you have to get a job to get quick and easy money. But as a result, that takes away a certain amount of your precious time each day. And time is fast as fuck in this game. Taking a bath? That takes an hour and a half. Gotta pee? 30 minute pee. sleeping? about 10 hours. Your Sims age as well, and can even die in this game, so every second really does count. And in this game, it does not feel as if you have much time at all to get things accomplished.
It is also kind of boring after awhile. The initial appeal is ok, but there is nothing to hook you into staying full term. At least, not unless this game really captivates you... and I don't see that happening with very many people.
This is only a blub though, I was not interested enough to play it for any more than 3 hours. But if you are interested in it, play it. I got this one from an Humble Bundle Origin a loong time ago.
