4 Stars great and quick arrival
It was great and you are so quick in mailing out the items. I have bought a few things from you and expect to buy more because of price and speedy delivery.
5 Stars Great fun, but Mac owners beware when upgrading!
In case mac owners don’t know, if you own Mac OS X and are running Tiger or higher you will have a problem in the “Create a Sim” screen. What will happen is that when you switch through outfits, the last outfit won’t leave the screen and all them will overlap over each other making it hard to see them, the same will happen when the sims change clothes in the game and when you want to buy a pet at the pet stores.
It is not the worse thing in the world and will not crash your game, but is very annoying and should be known before anyone spends their money. I’m using Panther. Anything before Tiger is fine. JUST BE WARNED!
After buying just a few of the expansion packs, I FINALLY decided to get the Complete Collection only after buying an external hard drive. I don’t know about anyone else, but there was no way almost 4 gigs would fit on my G4 imac. Although, even on the harddrive the game does slow, but is still playable. I am often surprised that I can stay Downtown, Studio Town, etc. so long. That is a real treat.
Bad side? There is too much to do. I have yet to do anything in Magic town nor Vacation, and the idea of being able to renovate all this and add my own touch is overwhelming.
I had plenty of problems previously with my other expansions, and crashing was one of them. I don’t know why, but objects that I had before, then put them back in my game a second or third time (after needing to reinstall) made the game crash. Frequently, the sofas and paintings just would not pull into the game and when they did it crashed when I tried to save. Now, everything pulls into the game and saves with no problem.
I think that having all the expansion packs made the game more stable–for me and possibly for macs in general, I don’t know, but I know that all the packs seemed to help with the crashing.
Overall, there is little cons to owning this. One thing I will say is that Non-Unleashed fans will tire quickly of stray pets wondering around the lots and into the house.
Still, worth the money to have all 7 packs on one disc, just make sure you have the hard drive space– and spare for downloads– and you’ll be fine.
5 Stars Fun Game w/ lots to do.
This game is worth it. I buy very little games and this one of my favorites. And because of all the expansions packs there’s ALWAYS sumthing to do. definitely recommend it.
3 Stars Well, it’s not working on my MacBook…
I just got the game today, installed it, and i get a prompt that says;
The path “The Sims Complete.localized:the Sims” contains a slash (/), backslash (\), or period (.). Please remove the character from the appropriate folder’s name and try again.
Thus, i can’t even get it running. I’ve tried contacting Aspyr BUT they have a “long distance” call so I can’t call them. I’m getting no help on Forums too. I BOUGHT THIS GAME, IT SHOULD FRICKEN PLAY! I have a 3 month old macbook, brand new.
I played the game a lot on PC, and was excited to play it on a computer that could play it smoother than my old PC…but I guess I was wrong.
5 Stars Sims!
This is my favorite game — nothing like telling a bunch of people what to do instead of having everyone else telling ME what to do. 
My favorite Sims game is on Gamecube, but there is so much more to having this on my computer. I like the pets and the vacations. I like the ease of movement on the computer.
