...recently wrote a review on the original Sims game for the PC. Well I have had that on my laptop for a couple of weeks and have now decided to put an expansion pack onto my laptop too. My sister Sam has the majority of the expansion packs and the one that caught my eye was the Sims unleashed. Now you guys don't know this but I love animals and am always going awwww when I see any type of animal apart from spiders. The Sims unleashed is an expansion ... ...go.

Installing the game:
Now this game is an expansion pack and to install it onto your computer you do need the original the Sims game to already be installed on your PC. The Sims unleashed needs about 64mb ram of memory to run properly, make sure you have more than this though left on your computer because a problem with the Sims games is that if you do not have sufficient memory the game will run slowly. Now to install it you simply need ...

...anyone would not know what the The Sims was; and it now has pets! Adopt them, feed, them, scoop their poop up, and become your best friend.
Despite the bug problems that many has encountered, if you are still a big fan of the The Sims despite of this, this is definitely a worthwhile expansion for you.

*~Background~*
If you have been locked away in some deep dark cupboard for the last however many years or you’re just not a huge games fan then this section is for you.
The Sims is a game made by Maxis which is Electronic Arts brand. It is a game where you can basically create people and run their lives. Fantastic for control freaks like me. You get to choose what they ... ...make friends.
I believe the game gives you $20,000 to start with and this is to build the house (or buy a house that is ready made) however I use the cheat and get millions so I’m not sure of the exact amount.
You have to make sure your Sims are well fed, happy, have enough space and have enough things to do otherwise they get very grumpy.
There are five add on packs including this one and they are: Livin’ Large, House Party, Hot Date, Vacation ...

Advantages: more variety than previous expansion packs, interesting concept Disadvantages: some strange bugs
The Sims: Unleashed is the fifth addition to the best-selling PC game, The Sims. Things have gone a long way since the original game, we've had parties, dates, and holidays, and Maxis have gone all out for the game's fifth expansion pack. Even the intro video has changed, showing pictures from all of the games so far. Before we get into the game as a whole, here's the specs.
~*~
MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
~ Windows 95, 98 or XP (NT and ME not ... ...XP or if you have the other expansion packs installed.
~ 4x CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
~ 1.3 GB free hard drive space, as well as space for game saving
~ 2MB video card supporting Direct X

It really is best to follow these requirements, because the game will run extremely slowly otherwise, and you'll get no enjoyment out of playing!

Advantages: Brings more depth to the original game Disadvantages: addictive, annoying pets
My sister bought me The Sims Deluxe PC game for my birthday. Much to my families bemusement I was hooked from day one.
I now have most of the expansion packs up to the Unleashed one, which is the Sims product I am going to review.
A quick rundown for those of you who possibly haven’t heard of the Sims:
Basically with my Sims Deluxe this consisted of The Sims and The Sims: Livin’ It Up. This is a PC based game and one of the extension packs. You ... ...to bed, even go to the loo. You build their houses, plant their gardens, choose their career path and basically decide their day to day lives.
However Sims also have a mind of their own which can be annoying when they get a strop on and decide not to play ball with you. They are very vocal in voicing the fact that thinking about it, no they are not in the mood for nooky, making babies or having a major snogathon. Actually they hate the person they ...

The Sims just keeps on getting better! How do Maxis/EA Games do it? In many peoples eyes this many expansion packs seems to be ripping people off and a way of getting more money out of the public but in my eyes its brilliant, keep them coming.
I myself am a massive fan of The Sims and proudly own all expansion packs and took part in the play testing for The Sims Online. A very long time ago when the Hot Date pack came about I asked myself, ‘what ... ...So I went onto the official Sims website, where you can get involved in chats and post messages/ideas on a message board and official Maxis people take part and respond to you questions/ideas and I left a big message begging for pets and sure enough along came the anticipated expansion pack, The Sims Unleashed.
The Sims Unleashed has literally ‘unleashed’ a whole new light to The Sims. Just when you thought it couldn’t get much better after the ...

Advantages: Adds a new dimension Disadvantages: Slows Down The Speed Of Game
The Sims Unleashed was released in late 2002 and was the fifth expansion pack for the original Sims game.
What they mean by expansion is that you add it on to the original game, and in case anybody didn't know, this isn't a game in itself, just to warn you. If you want to maximize your Sims experience, defiantly get all of these packs, they are:
The Sims Livin' It Up - £14.99
The Sims House Party - £9.96
The Sims Hot Date - £14.99
The Sims On ... ...Superstar - £14.16
The Sims Makin' Magic - £14.99
(all prices form www.amazon.co.uk) If you want more information on them, they can all be found through this link, http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/548858/ref=pd_fr_bw_2_2/202-3784751-6278259
If you want the original Sims game, go to ww.play.com, where you can get various deals of the original with an expansion pack.
Back to unleashed, in my opinion, this is the best add-on for the ...

I haven't got all of the Sims add-ons , I decided against 'Hot Date', 'House Party' and 'Vacation'but the 'Sims Unleashed' works perfectly well without these.You have a wider town area than on the other add ons I have got and some of the plots are already built on.
You can have these areas either as residential or community and get different objects for these areas.Unfortunately you cannot use community shop objects in the residential areas. When ... ...exactly the same as in previous versions but the difference starts when you want to adopt a pet.

All of the family must go along to select a pet so you can't go when the children are at school but then you go to the pet shop and select your pet , give it a name and buy treats or toys for it.

There just seems to be too many expansion packs and I have to now uninstall a few of them because it just makes my system run too slowly. On the whole The Sims is great, it has many realistic life styles although the creators don’t seen to have much fashion sense when it comes to clothes and hair styles. The sound track to The Sims is still the same ... ...which is a downer. But the graphics doesn't seem to have changed much, even though the features have.
The Sims unleashed is great, because no home is complete without a cat or dog and now it makes the game feel like ‘home sweet home’ Also it’s great for the characters as it usually boosts their stats by quite a bit, which is a good thing as it helps them to become more socially active.
So I must say the big advantage of the game is that the P.C. ...

Advantages: new family members to control, whole new community area to explore Disadvantages: there should be more items specifically for the pets.
This is probably the best expansion pack Maxis have made. It adds something really different to the game, whereas the other ones just add new items this expansion pack gives you new family memebrs.
