Who said anything about money? Personally, this sim has been a disappointment but I've still got more then enough out of the 35 odd euros I spent on it. I had high expectations, too high I guess. What's it been now? 6 months after release? still it's not what I would've liked it to be and it probably never will be, maybe the next installment will.
I have accepted it though, like a mongrel homeless dog, it's not the prettiest but if you provide it with a home and some care it will reward you.
