Book Reviews of The Sims Online (Prima's Official Strategy Guide)
Book Review: I wouldn't recommend buying this book, it's already outdated
Summary: 2 Stars
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to that, you can receive e-mails telling you about the latest and greatest changes.I'll give you an idea of just how out-of-date the book is going to be.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.
