The authority on The Sims 2!

This is by far the most complete and comprehensive game guide for any PC game I've played so far! This book will reveal any questions and help you through any aspects of The Sims 2. Anyone who has played knows this game never gets old because of the endless possibilities. This guide won't spoil any of the fun but will help make the most of it! This guide is well worth the money as all of the simple questions are answered for you saving you the hours of trial and error.

Outstandingly advantageous.

"The Sims 2 : Prima Official Game Guide" is exceptionally helpful for The Sims 2 players, particularly if you're a novice in the Sims world. The instruction book that comes with the PC and PC/DVD computer game only covers very basic skills, but if you want information about how to task your Sims well, flourish in their careers, meet their Wants, and have many generations, then this guide is simply a must. It's very effortless to read; author Greg Kramer wrote in a very conversational, easy-going style, making reading this guide enjoyable and uncomplicated. If you're new at playing any kind of Sims game, or of you're a mogul, wanting to get your Sims 2 family ahead in everything, then you must get this guide. I recommend.

Helped me A LOT!!

I just wrote a post about the sims 2 game and now I am going to write about the book. This book helped me out a lot with the game. Here are a couple of things this book teaches you about 1) The Sims 2 body shop 2) Making houses 3) If your a first time simmer, it teaches you about the game 4) Each stage of life 5) Jobs and school 6) Genetics and families I could go on. Go order or bye this book asap! I request buying or at least READING the book before buying the game so that your up to date with everything that you will be doing. Happy Simming!!

One of the better game guides...

I usually do not purchase the game guides, however I am a huge fan of Sims2 and I wanted to know how to effectively maximize my Sims2 game experience. This guide does the trick. I now have a clear understanding of the various levels of the careers within the game. How to achieve these levels and what level will be next. There is also a comprehensive listing of all the objects content within the game. This helps gamers understand how these ojects affect their Sims. I have read this guide cover to cover at least three times. Each time I read it, I become more and more knowledgeable of the ins and outs of The Sims2. I recommend this guide to anyone who wants to maximize their Sims2 gaming experience.

Sims 2 Official Guide

Well worth the price (and I got retail for $21+). I am a seasoned Sims player (all expansion packs), and found this to be absolutely terrific. There is a lot more to Sims 2 than genetics, aging and 3-d. Objects do more, peeps do more. You could figure it out (maybe) with time, but why struggle, and find out the hard way that you can now put doors/windows on diagonal walls? Here is a concise list of all objects/build mode/ including cost, depreication, what they do. These folks obviously paid attention to all the hackers out there that built stuff, caused new actions, etc.--because many of those ideas are now part of the official game. This book will prove an invaluable resource to all Simfanatics! I recommend this book--even full retail!
