I'm actually quite sad that i paid for this product. I have a few issues that could not have been realized in the trial hour. The first, is the lack of interaction with the characters. Saying "well, it isn't the sims" seems to be the big response i get when i bring that up, so i'll drop it.

The second is the store. The problem with the store only updating every 10-12 hours is that to a certain extent, you don't even really need to play the game. When i let the game be for 7 hours while i slept, both my people had gained 2 career levels on their own. When i am playing the game, i'm really not doing anything - as there really isn't much to do - so once/twice a day i'll turn it on for maybe an hour to do whatever chores/puzzles can be done based on what's in the store. How is this considered fun?

I was looking for a game i could PLAY. Something to DO. not just a screen saver.
