REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Aug. 26, 2003--Electronic Arts (Nasdaq:ERTS - News) today announced plans to release this September The Sims(TM) Double Deluxe, the ultimate compilation of the top-selling PC franchise, The Sims(TM). The Sims Double Deluxe delivers the original #1 PC game of all time, The Sims, as well as The Sims(TM) Livin' Large and The Sims(TM) House Party expansion packs all in one value-packed product. With the most Sims content ever assembled in one place, now is the best time to join The Sims phenomenon.

The Sims, which originally launched in February 2000, is the wildly popular game that allows players to create a neighborhood of simulated people known as "Sims" and control their lives. The Sims Double Deluxe combines the full version of The Sims with the first two expansion packs in the series. The Sims Livin' Large allows players to put their Sim families into zany situations and settings. Its content adds dozens of extreme items like a home chemistry lab, heart shaped bed, and crystal ball, as well as a cast of wild characters such as the Grim Reaper, Genie, and Tragic Clown. The Sims House Party opens the door for players to throw the biggest bash, whether their Sims hoedown at a country barn dance, chow down at a tropical luau, or go underground at a rave, they are sure to rock the house. Additionally, there are numerous outrageous items such as a dance cage and mechanical bull, as well as madcap characters like a cake dancer and caterer.

The Sims Double Deluxe also includes The Sims(TM) Creator, a customization tool for creating Sim characters. Players can recreate any Sim imaginable, right down to the smallest detail. Users can also select new clothes, design original attire, add logos to their clothing, and accessorize their Sims with belts, ties, and jewelry. Players can even import their face into the program and put it directly on a Sim character.

Rounding off this must-have collection, players can furnish their homes with all-new bonus content including dozens of new walls, floors, and objects in African and Asian design themes. Also included is a collection of game objects posted on http://www.thesims.com since the launch of The Sims House Party, including a Carnivorous Plant and Mistletoe that players can incorporate into their Sim universe. The Sims Double Deluxe offers the perfect invitation to enter the world of The Sims.

The sims was a novel game, but its not nearly good enough to warrent all these exp packs, and they arn't even that good. They are just full of new models and items that should be availibe to freely download because of how few you get per exp pack. Maybe if they included a few thousand more things it might be worth it, but its not nearly worth it for the few hundred they include. (The models and items aren't exactly high quality either)

I played the game for a few weeks, but my sister has been playing it for years now, buying every exp pack that comes out. I really don't see what she thinks is so great about it.
