I bought it yesterday and am addicted already.
Does anyone else play it? Has anyone gotten the expansion pack?
Next I want to get Roller Coaster Tycoon or Sim Theme Park. If anyone has one of these and wants to swap or if you have one of these and there's something else you want, e-mail me and I"ll give it a try.

I used to like it, but I couldn't keep up with my gf. She's already put one family all the way through half of the career paths.

http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/lol.gif well, at least I'm not the ONLY one. I've used the wonderful rosebud cheat to make mine rich http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/lol.gif
Is she going to get the expansion pack so she can give them more jobs? hehe

I don't know if I want to let her.
She's mostly past the addiction point now to where she barely ever plays it.
The first time she played it, she started playing when we got home a 6:30PM, and didn't get up from the chair for dinner, bathroom, or bed until 1AM.
I don't know if I want to support that kind of behavior. As much as I play games on my PC, I've never done a stint like that.

I was very glad at that point that I built a 2nd machine solely for her.
That, and the fact that she breaks any computer she touches.

It's VERY addictive.
I had to force myself to get up and actually do something and to let my SO use the computer.

Boo-yaa! I bought this game last weekend, and I *love* it!
I created a character based on myself & ran things for a while...then I found out that life would be a bit easier if I had someone else living in the house with me, so I invited Bob Newbie over, and did the ol "rearrange the furniture so he's trapped and will die" maneuver - while at the same time hitting on his wife! ;) Eventually he keeled over, and ol' Poss got hitched...things are *much* easier in the Possum household now. :)
Yesterday I took an hour and built the house I grew up in from Niagara Falls - every wall, piece of furniture, it's all right there. Then I added my family - with another version of myself inclused - and let things run for a bit. It was uncanny - my lazy-ass brother immediately walked over to the TV, turned it on, and vegged out. My artistic brother went upstairs and messed with the easel. My sister hit the basketball hoop. It was actually disturbing seeing my Sim family acting *exactly* like my *real* family!
My next project is to start creating a "family" of Soupers, then seeing what kind of hell they can raise in a dorm...hee hee hee ;)
