    If it´s true that you have to pay 10 bucks a month, then I won´t bother either.

    The game holds more value, if you download it and don't pay for it.

    Its great if you love to chat and be able to do so with a character. The game itself lacks all the fun and challenge of all the other sims games. Too much time to skill build and to constantly have to re do that because of decay makes the game boring as hell. Needs alot of imagination if its going to last.

    This game lied to me. It told me it was really fun and interactive. Like The Sims only online. But instead I got a big chat room where you get to see yourself cybering w/ other people. This game is very fun....for the first 20 minutes. Then it gets stupid and repetitive. It promised a chance for people to escape their own lives and make a new one but instead it presented the world with a virtual reality where the world is controlled by the first 30 small businesses that popped up and not enough work in the engine to be anything like the real world. And if you guys think ten bucks is a lot then you obviously dont play MMORPGS becuase most of them cost more. … Expand

    I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! But im not all that crazy that I have to pay $10 dollors a month. It might be better if you lowered the price to $5. Maybe other people would LOVE it too.

    The sims online is pretty good i guess i've never really plaed it but i've played the other sims so the sims online must be great to because most of the other sims games rock.

    The Sims Online has retained the je ne sais quoi that makes its brethren so fun to play. [Mar 2003, p.89]

    The greatest chat room ever, or the most boring online game in quite a while?

    A major problem (though one that is sadly unavoidable) is the way in which activities can’t be fast-forwarded... The result is that a great deal of time is spent watching a Sim doing something utterly trivial and dull.
