I've always sucked at Sim City. I run out of money and
my roads break down and everyone has a cow. I had the
version with audio and video, and it drove me crazy
when the fire chief would ask how I could sleep at
night because of the budget shortage. I finally gave
that to my brother.

I'm not sure what you were looking at. You need to get
'The Sims' to start off with. There are two expansion
packs - 'Living Large' and 'House Party'. I prefer
'Living Large' because it has more jobs and more
objects, but 'House Party' does have some cool objects
as well.

There is so much to discover in this game! For
example, if you put a
plate of cookies and a Christmas tree by a
fireplace, and put all of the
Sims to bed, Santa Claus appears and leaves
presents!
 
And with 'House Party', if you manage to produce a
really good party, a special celebrity guest appears.
I've only gotten the guest once, but what a hoot!
