Guide Review - "The Sims Unleashed" Review
As good as "Sims Unleashed" may seem (enhanced neighborhood screen, pets, gardening, new career tracks), it has its share of bugs. The ones I've encountered have not been bad enough to crash the game, or force me to restart. Instead they are small annoying ones, like Sims not sitting to watch TV, and custom formal (pajamas, etc.) go back to the default when restarting the game. New objects, skins, more lots, and of course the pets are good reasons to own "Sims Unleashed."
