Game description: Build, buy, and live. The Sims give you the chance to create simulated people and build their homes, then help your Sims pursue careers, earn money, make friends, and find romance--or totally mess up their lives.

There is no right or wrong way to play the game.

Europe v02.00(14/06/2004), INTC, Wait Loop Detection, microVU and MTVU (for going "almost ingame"), Won't boot from CD. Works with ISO, goes through menus, I can make a Sim in "Get-A-Life" mode, but as soon the game finishes loading, it hangs on loading screen (but music keeps playing with ingame sounds too sometimes). Actually, I got "almost ingame" by enabling the cheat that unlocks the "Sim Mode", but as soon as I selected it, it hangs (see last pic). | |

Able to load up starting screen. Hangs on create-a-sim screen(HW DX11). Upon switching to SW DX9, I was able to get past CAS and entered the dream house level. Major graphical glitches and game freezes upon completing said level. | Combatheros |
