question!!!.......2007-09-19
well i have the other guides to the other ones but this one cant be ordered at barnes and noble and i come on here but i want to know why its so expensive..??i cant figure out how to play it without the book...
Over 35.......2007-08-26
To the reviewer who complained about the font. I'm 42 and can read the guide just fine. Please do not lump people over 35 with you, evidently you have bad eyesight, and that's not Prima's fault. Definately buy this guide no matter what age you are!
TS2 PRIMA Game Guide.......2006-07-31
Prima is "Premium", the most useful and helpful tool that my wife and I have gotten for the Sims games!
Thank you so much to all those involved with the making, publishing, and marketing of these Wonderful Help and Instruction Guides!
Sincerely,
Gary L Hoffman
Highly Recommend!.......2006-07-03
Like all the other Sims 2 Prima Guide, this is just great! I find it incredibly useful. So much good info, some that you may never find anywhere else... and even if you do find it somewhere else, at least you know this is official!
And yes, even the official guide includes cheats and tricks! This one includes new ones that you can only use if you have Open For Business. :)
over 35? Don't buy it ..........2006-04-19
I think I have bought every one of the Prima guides for the Sims and Sims 2 games - I will never buy another one. Most of the book is in 8-point or 10-point font ... fine if you're 15, but if you're over 35, it's infuriating. Trying to read the tiny type with my contacts in gave me a headache, reading it with my glasses was impossible, so I ended up reading it without my glasses with the book about an inch away from my nose. WHAT A PAIN! Does Prima not get that not all Sims addicts are teenagers? Stupid, stupid book design, and stupid for future sales if Prima doesn't figure out that customers, like Sims, do grow older ...

Everything you wanted to know and more.......2007-02-19
The only reason I didn't give this guide 5 stars is because the table of contents isn't set up very well. But it has tons of information to make a happy Sim or wreck havoc on the town!
Great expansion for Sims2.......2007-01-05
This was my 1st expansion pack that I bought to use w/Sims2 & it is a good look at what going to college is like, especially if you've never been the kind of person who never stayed on campus. This game shows all the kinds of ways for you sim to meet new people & socialize. The different places where you can do study or reasearch. This was my 1st choice when I looked at all the other expansion packs. I read what the other recommendations said & based my decision on that.
You need this if you want to get the most out of your game.......2006-12-25
There are things in the game that you just can't figure out on your own. This book will show you everything.
Total Time Saver.......2006-10-10
As other reviewers have noted, this guide does contain a complete reprint of the original game guide. However, having owned the original guide, there is one MAJOR difference. The University Guide has an INDEX. So if you share my frustration of constantly flipping through guides searching for a topic, this is definitely worth the money. The game is time-consuming enough without having to spend time searching through the guides. So even if you don't own the University Expansion Pack, I recommend purchasing this item if only to make the original guide easier to use and the information more accessible.
Worth it if you don't have the first guide!.......2006-10-07
I have been playing the Sims for sometime now and decided to get a guide for it. Having read the reviews and owning all the major expansion packs I decided to go for this one mainly because of the two for one deal. I have been amazed the amount of information it has been able to give me even though I have been playing for so long. The tips on personalities and careers etc I have found useful. I have really been able to maximize the game play. In the past I have always been doubtful whether guides were worth there money or was just a gimmick. But having now got the Sims University guide I would recommend it (but only if you don't have the first one). I am now considering buying others and discovering what other treats I have been missing.

"Now read this line..." .......2005-03-08
First, a note: I am not actually under 13--I'm 15, actually--but I was too lazy to create my own bn.com account or wait for my mom to come home so I could use hers. But anyway.
In general, the Prima strategy guides are excellent--they are thorough, humorous, and well-written, with aesthetically appealing layouts and screenshots. So having five half-sized strategy guides for the approximate price of one sounds like the perfect deal, right?
You'd think that...
While these guides are excellent, I think that Prima made a mistake in making these books so small. Although I am fortunate enough to have, for the moment, very good eyesight (from years of reading under the covers, I suppose), I still found these books very hard to read. I can only imagine the difficulty for someone who already has a vision problem.
In short, these discounted guidebooks are worth the price only if your eyesight is excellent. In general, I'd recommend buying the normal-sized guides. While more expensive, they are at least legible.
Waste of time and money........2004-02-25
Don't buy this.
There is no reason you need to buy these books.
Any information you need is online and cost you nothing.
On all of the books, the 1st half is devoted to The Sims (the original game itself that you need in order to add any of the expansion packages).
If you need any information on game play with any of the expansions then go online.
The Official Sims Website is one place to start.
That is not to mention all of the other Fan webistes that you can go to. (Devoted to The Sims and there are a lot)
They are for the most part free and you don't have the books taking up room.
A Strategy Guide for The Sims? Why?.......2003-10-17
Really unnecessary. The game is the easiest to play in the world. There is no end to the game hence no need for strategy.
just so so on info.......2003-09-11
the info give is ok. Nothing to reveling, but the examples given in picture are impossible to read. they could have made a single book instead of 5 if they had just made the book larger and pictures more readable.
Only buy this book if you can not figure out how the game works. otherwise save your money
Some good, some bad.......2003-07-14
Ok, the bad stuff first - which has been mentioned a lot here. The books are shrunk down to a much smaller size than your average strategy guide, so the pictures and illustrations are really difficult to see. Second, the first half of each book is the same in all five - just basic info about the Sims. So there is a lot of wasted space and material you have to skip over to get the new information on whatever expansion pack the book is for.
The books small size makes them easier to store though, they can even sit on a bookshelf in front of all the other strategy guide since they are so much smaller. They also come in a sleeve so that they all stay together nicely. While most of the information is repeated in each book, there is a good amount of new information that is really useful - even for long-time Sims players. Every time I open up the books I learn something new, and I've been playing the Sims for several years now.
Overall, for the price I can't complain too much. The good stuff is better than the bad, by far. Definitely would recommend to any Sims addict looking to learn some new tips and tricks.

Didn't buy the book . . . YET.......2004-03-27
In my opinion, I don't know wether to get because it is usefull, or not to get it because it isn't usefull. I have been dying to get the Sims Makin Magic since the time my friend told me about it. I own every Sims Expansion pack that there is. The original Sims, The Sims Livin Large, The Sims House Party, The Sims Hot Date, The Sims Unleashed, and The Sims Superstar. I was actually VERY disappointed in the Sims Superstar, but that's what I get for getting it just to spend my hard earned money. I thought that the book would be usefull, but when I heard that there are 240 pages and only 111 are devoted to The Sims Makin Magic, I was kinda bumed. Somebody, PLEASE help me make the write decision! (I only filled in the star because I had to, don't take my word based on the stars, do it based on my most likely unhelpful review because I haven't bought the book yet!)
A bit of a disappointment.......2004-03-25
I first purchased the expansion pack, Makin' Magic, and played with it for a day or so, and then I purchased this book on the expansion pack hoping for some tips and tricks and some more info on the game. Unfortunately, I didn't find what I was looking for. The book does have some good charts about what spells require which ingrediants and what it takes to do a spell right and takes you for an overview of the game, but there weren't any helpful tips except for one or two. And everything I read in there I had already figured out just by playing the game. There also aren't any cheats in this book like there are for the rest of the books (on the rest of the expansion packs). Overall, I found this to be a bit of a disappointment. If you are buying it with the game then I guess it'd be alright, but if you already bought the game and played around with it for a few hours then you know all this book can tell you.
What a waste of my money and time.......2004-01-08
I played the game for about five hours and I made notes on spells and charms. I then purchased this book thinking it would give me a complete list of spells and charms and no it doesn't. It did give me everything that I had already wrote down.
It only gave me one other spell and it doesn't say what it does you will just have to try it out and see. It gives you one other charm but it doesn't say what it does you will just have to try it out and see.
I alread know how to play this game, I have every expansion for the Sims, I just wanted a complete spell book and I feel I was robbed.
A must-have for any Makin' Magic fan!.......2003-11-12
"The Sims Makin' Magic: Prima's Official Strategy Guide" is a great buy! It's chock full of useful tips and information and a must-have for any Makin' Magic fan. The first half of the book is a basic recap of the original "Sims" for anyone who doesn't already know how to play ;-) The second half details "Makin' Magic", everything from how to raise your dragon to spell lists to dueling tips. I found several sections especially helpful...
A chart listing all the spells/charms and cookbook recipes and their ingredients was especially time-saving as I no longer had to keep running back to the family spell book/cookbook to check ingredients. The descriptions of each spell are also listed so you know what to expect and don't end up blowing your hard-earned MagiCoins on ingredients for a spell that doesn't even help you that much.
This strategy guide is also packed with tips on how to complete quests, how to win a duel, where to find rare ingredients, info on magical rewards, funhouse designs, how to hatch a friendly dragon, and a helpful general guide on how to begin your highly rewarding magical career.
They Still Don't Get It..........2003-11-06
The Sims Makin Magic, the FINAL expansion pack for the original Sims has just been released. As with every pack, a prima game has released a strategy guide. There is something you have to understand before you purchase this item. Yes, it is helpful in figuring out what to do for the first few days, but almost all the information included you could look up on the internet. Also for the SEVENTH time now, over half of the book is devoted to the original Sims, while only the last part is set aside for the new expansion pack. It says in the book this is for all the people who have only the expansion that the book is talking about, but by this point almost everyone who is buying Makin Magic has at least one other expansion. This book is 240 pages long, and the Makin Magic section doesn't start until page 129. Every time a new expansion comes out, I buy it and the strategy guide, to see if they have changed their ways. I have been disappointed. This is a HUGE waste of trees and resources, not to mention money. The information was very helpful, and they have a FEW pages that I think I might refer to often, but if you really want the info that is in this book, go to thesims.com and read the transcripts or find a good fan site. You do not need this book to play the game, and the more guides I see in this format, the lower I will rate them because Prima just doesn't get it.

I wouldn't recommend buying this book, it's already outdated.......2003-04-24
I'm a big Sims fan and have several Sims guide books but this is one that is pretty much pointless. Unlike the regular (offline) version of the game (The Sims and the expansion packs like Unleashed), this online game is updated DAILY. Rules change regularly and so does game play. Because of this, there is no way for the book to ever get even close to being up-to-date. But it isn't needed... When you set up the game, you are given game play instructions at start up and you are given "tips" (game play information) throughout the game, each time you encounter a new situation. You are also given update information each time you sign in. There is also a website to go to if you want to read about the updates - you can even read these while in the game (just click on the help "?" button). In addition to that, you can receive e-mails telling you about the latest and greatest changes.
I'll give you an idea of just how out-of-date the book is going to be. I've been playing the game for only 3 months and didn't take notice of the version number right away (not until it was asked of me when making a game inquiry) but I know what the version number was at that point. Today the game is 120 version numbers ahead of what it was that day - no, that was not a typo. There have been over a hundred updates and changes to the game in the last 3 months alone so there's no way for the book to be accurate or up-to-date.
Waste Of Money.......2003-03-25
The book didn't help one bit. Its basically a better written retelling of whats available on the official Sims Online Website and the booklet you get with the game.
You won't learn anything unique or special to enhance your game experience.
SIMply a Fantastic Book.......2003-03-08
When I bought the game, I found the book that came with the charter edition somewhat skimpy on details of how to really play the game. I had played the beta version and had become familiar with a small portion of how things worked. But, I still lacked information on the finer details of the game. I really needed a reference book I could go back and look at. In fact, I know have this book sitting beside my computer when I play the game. I have found it very helpful in all aspects. Toss the book that comes with the game. If you are a player of other Sims games, you'll find that the Sims Online is a completely different game than what you're used to. And, with differences, you'll need a book that steps you through various parts of the game. This is the book that you need when you play The Sims Online. I very much reccomend this book.

Superstar Info Good; Sims Info Dated.......2004-07-24
I found the second half of this book very useful in trying to learn and navigate the Superstar world. It had well-written instructions, tips, and general information on how to progress from a nobody to a superstar. This certainly isn't an easy career path, but if the game was easy, why would we play?
The first half had some good information as well. This information is geared towards a beginner, which may be too basic for some. But my main complaint with this section, is that it hasn't been updated! Relationships are much harder (yet in a way easier) in these newer Sims games. It has been changed from a single relationship bar, to a double system. The top bar, for daily interactions, and an average bar, for a 'lifetime' score. I was wanting a more in-depth analysis of this new rating system, but this book doesn't even mention the change. It seems that the first part was written with the original Sims game, and has simply been tacked onto each and every variation of the Strategy Guide. Which is lazy writing, in my opinion.
My other quibble, is that pages upon pages have been taken up showing (in black and white no less) each and every object you can buy. I really don't see the point to this, but others may find it useful.
PEOPLE LOOK AT THE COVER!.......2003-12-17
I do not have this book or the game but i intend to get it for Christmas. For those of you who said most of it is for the regular sims, look at the title! COVERS THE ORIGINAL SIMS AND SIMS SUPERSTAR! I think this will be a very helpful book for many people. Also, yes it is challenging to get to be a star, I tried on my friend's computer, but if you were going to try to be a star in real life, it would be hard too! Just find out what your Sims like and make them do that a lot. And check their bars-bladder, hunger, energy, etc. to find out what theu need.
Superstar is awesome.......2003-11-14
This Expansion Pack to the sims, the sims deluxe, or the sims double deluxe is the best expansion pack ever. what you have to do is live your life( Like every other sims game in the world) exept in this expansion pack only, you can become a famous celebrity. you earn your way up from singing kareoke to acting in a big time soap opera. you can hire an agent and see who the ten hot celebrities are. Also there is a few new items, like the sky diving machine(Expensive but it helps with body and fun), and the aquarium(Expensive also, but is the best thing for fun). they also heve a new pool tabe and a new weight set. in this expansion you can still get a pet. you also can get married and have children too. I'de say this is the game of the year. Plus i can't wait untill the sims 2 comes out.
If you want anything e-mail me at kingtroy619@yahoo.com or go to my web page at www.freewebs.com/troys_cool_site and leave a messege on my guestbook.
Bored In Burmingham.......2003-10-25
One word discription BORING. I almost died but survived barely just to write a review. Don't give this book the time of day.
Great game.......2003-06-29
If you like the other sims games you will love this one! I read some of the others and they say it runs slow and etc. It may be cuz you don't have enough room on your computer. It runs fast and just right on my computer. Yes it is a lot of work to get the people to become a star but it is worth it. Even if you don't want to be a star there is so much new things. Like you can swim with fish, new doors, floors, walls,even roofs and much more. Its so cool to see people singing. It's also fun just to go down there and talk to people and even see stars from today! So if your into the sims this is a much have

Good tips.......2004-05-04
Okay not to start off on a bad note I will say that the tips where very useful to me. However here are the two main things I had problems with:
1) Re-reading the Orginal Sims strategy guide which is the first half of the book. I've already read the strategy guide on its own, in Livin Large, House Party, Hot Date, and the Vacation strategy guides (is it necessary to have it part of every strategy guide?)
and
2) The pictures some of which where nice, but when trying to show the different pet tricks it was hard to see them because they're small, black and white photo's hard to notice the small dogs and cats in the pictures.
There are useful tips on housebreaking, breeding, winning the pet show, gardening, and caring for other pets like the turtle and fish. Also very helpful tables showing the new career choices. This was usefull for me at least as well getting to see all the new objects laid out telling me the cost and motive enhancments. Also this strategy guide is very easy to read, which helped me read through it in a breaze so I could go play the game as soon as possible.
How to play The Sims Original (found here).......2004-03-11
This is all about the original Sims and then towards the end gets in to the basics of Unleashed that one could learn from the program itself!
Complete waste of money that only looks good on a shelf!
Don't Waste Your Time.......2003-04-04
This book reads like it was written for four-year-olds and doesn't say anything more than the manual would. (If there was a manual.) Don't even bother ...
Latest in a Series.......2003-01-24
This is the latest in the Prima's series of Official Strategy Guides for the Sims and it's expansion packs. As with the previous books for the expansion packs, the first half of the book deals with the basic strategies of playing The Sims regardless what expansion packs you have. If you've bought a previous book in the Prima series, you'll want to go right to the second half of the book.
There's not a lot of earth-shaking information here. A Sims junkie with any Internet skills can probably find all the information that's in this book. But if you depend only on what you find online, you'll find lots of incorrect garbage as well. What you find in this book you can take to the bank as being correct. You also won't find all this information in one place online, and it won't be organized as well.
If you're looking for some previously unknown secret to be revealed, you won't find it in this book. If you want a little more insight into The Sims, and the Unleased expansion pack, you'll find it here. The insight I gained from this book has helped me enjoy the game a little more. I have no regrets about buying the book.
Very Cool.......2003-01-07
I love having pets for the sims. This helps a lot. But I have to say that the game stinks.

Nothing but worthless or wrong information.......2003-01-15
I ordered this book expecting something comparable to Prima's strategy guide for SimCity 3KU (which is huge, rich, and utterly indispensible). Not even remotely. I knew I was in trouble when the table of contents did not match the pagination of the book (and it was way off -- not just by a page or two).
Most of this too-slim-for-the-price volume is pure filler: a grainy B&W photo catalog of all the objects Sims can buy (information which is readily accessible within the game, and of little strategic value anyhow), and way, way too many tedious B&W screenshots of the author's own gameplay, supposedly for illustration.
It contains a few bits of useful information -- such as detailed tables of the Careers (jobs, hours, salary, promotion criteria) -- all of which and more is available on the Web.
It also contains enough glaring falsehoods (e.g., that Sim kids can't use dishwashers) to suggest that the author played the game just long enough to crank out this piece of softbound kindling .
If you're really interested in getting the most out of the game, do yourself a favor: give this book a miss and head for one of the thousands of fan sites and BBSs instead.
Sims guides ??.......2002-12-06
cool stuff, but how much of this isn't available free, online, if you bothered to look ?? A great purchase for the lazy (and Newbies - Bob or otherwise) but if you have the slightest motivation Google has cleared it all up for you already.
Good - But there is better.......2002-12-05
If you want this book - and you have any of the add on packs - buy The Sims: 5 Complete Strategy Guides, it is cheaper than buying any 2 of the other packs together, and you can get them special with sims unleashed(lets all see how long that lasts). But this book alone is a great buy, even with an add on pack.

This book isn't a very good guide. much of the stuff in it you can work out yourself. it is good for a first time player perhaps, but it can be boring with small print, lots of tables and charts, and only small black & white pictures. if youre an experienced player, give it a miss

The Sims are *Livin' Large* =).......2002-04-12
This is a greeeeeeeat book if you're really, really, really, stuck in the Sims. Otherwise, it's just a good add-on to the rest of your Sims stuff. I mean, I all ready knew all the cheats and stuff, but it was really fun reading all about things that I didn't know about the "Grim Reaper", the guinea pig disease, and other neat stuff. No color pix though. That's one disadvantage. Hey, at least their clear, not all blury like the Internet ones. This is the best book to get for your first collection item. It covers both "The Sims" and "Livin' Large". Big difference than getting the first one first. If you love all those cheat and game books, this is totally for you! Enjoy the book about the best game in years!

Good tips and tricks!.......2002-02-03
A lot of the cheat codes in this book can be found on the internet, but it also has valuable information that cannot. Some of my fav features are: The career charts, Sim zodiac signs matchmaking, objects in relation to room score, and sim behaviors. This is great info to take your simming to the next level!
It was good........2001-12-15
This expansion pack was ok but didn't contain as much to do as the others. It also didn't add any impotant socail interactions exept for the "love Bed"
it was god if you wanted items but not much else.
only one of the 4 strategy books worth buying.......2001-12-11
I am an avid Sims player.. to understate it. So I know many of the tricks to maximize playing, but the Livin' Large Strategy book gives a lot of really cool secrets to have fun with. All 3 of the other books just give you basic info that's readily available in the game (like an object's price and description) but Livin' Large gves you such details as what each color potion from the Home Chemistry Lab will do and how to solve the riddles from the Madame Blahbatfry's crystal ball. It also tells you how to cure your Sim's sickness. This is a definite must-have for Sims lovers.. but don't bother buying the other ones.
