Well, this game is better than the original by quite a bit, with much better graphics, gameplay, and even built-in scenerios. In this one, there are so many aspects of creating your own sim, from the bridge of the nose to the width of the eyes, that I think making the sims is more fun than controlling them. Also, the gameplay is more developed, and, like in some of the previous expansions, there is a downtown center to shop and go out to eat. It is well worth buying in my opinion.
