Sims 2 Pets (Prima Official Game Guide) Reviews

• Not enough information for the money

  This really doesn't have enough information on game cheats and strategy in my opinion for the money. I think they should just give these away with the purchase of the game.
  
  Also, this book has no index. Which really makes it difficult to find specific information. This was the first guide I've bought for my Sims 2 games and will be the last.
  
  

• Very Informative

  While I can figure out a lot of things playing the Sims 2, the Prima guides are very helpful. In particular I learned that when a pet is doing a behavior that can be reinforced they get a little mark by their picture and if you reinforce the behavior with praising or scolding while the pet is doing that behavior..then you can train them.
  
  

• Not as Helpful as Privious Guides

  The Prima Guides for Sims 1 were packed with information that wasn't easy to find in-game. I consider those guides almost essential -- and fun, too!
  
  The writing style of the Sims 2 Prima Guides is completely different. It is too "chatty and chummy" and meanders around before actually getting to a point. And it doesn't actually seem to make many gaming points! They seem to want to talk about the game, and be cool, rather than actually assist players.
  
  I find the writing and formatting styles so distracting that I can't actually read this guide without my mind wandering off. It is difficult to locate information I need. And it doesn't really tell me much that I can't easily find on my own while playing.
  
  I have the Pets guide, the Nightlife guide, and the basic Sims2 guide. I bought them all at the same time. Otherwise, if I'd gotten one, then others, I wouldn't have gotten others!
  
  

• Worth buying

  It's worth buying for a number of reasons. Creating a past owned pet is just too cool for words. Getting turned into a wereworlf is quite a bit of fun too. On the negative side, (why I didn't give it five stars) owning a pet can be quite distracting to a Sims career. If you want to build up a sims career, wait to get a pet until a bit later.
  
  

• Lots of information

  The game guides always have information that would be hard or impossible to figure out on your own. I buy one with every expansion.

  Helpful with cheats for the new add on but also has some info about the basics.
  
  
• Covered the basics

  I read the guide to pets, it was some help, it gave the basics of the pets expansion pack. I was expecting a little more.
  
  
• The Sims 2: Seasons
  By A3SN43OGFTBWDN on 2007-03-08
  This has been a long waited chapter in the saga of the Sims and it certainly is not disappointing. The only thing is that there are some glitches in purchasing clothes downtown but whether or not that is in the game itself or my memory getting full I can not say but for entertainment value The Sims 2: Seasons can not be beat
  
  
• Finally
  By A2L4LBWY1J5X1V on 2007-01-12
  Perhaps I should have only given it 4 stars, because I feel that families are incomplete without pets, and probably should have been included with the base game--that said, I'm very happy with the product--I love the create a pet especially. It's easy and fun to use and fairly versitile.
  
  
• Can't Be Without It

  Everytime the SIMS comes out with a new expansion pack there are always nuances to the game that aren't so obvious. I have bought a prima guide for every expansion pack I own. I strongly recommend it.
