Even though the game's been out a month now and isn't doing too well, the famous gaming site GameSpy has finally posted a review of The Sims Online. They tell us a bit about the earning of the hard cash:
"The Sims Online provides two ways to earn money: solo or with a group. Group objects require two to four people, depending on the object, and each station needs a person with points in a particular skill. The higher the individual's skill is on the particular station, the more money each person makes. The players communicate with each others in order to complete the task. While this sounds like a potentially interesting idea, the reality is a repetitive chore that is both boring and requires you to pay attention."They also mention roommates that can redecorate if they like - no matter if you like their design or not. Also, the game is still lacking a lot of things and it's boring. They even say it's been called the world's most expensive chat room, and they think that comparison is not completely wrong. They rate the game 'fair', with a score of 60 out of 100. To read it for yourself, go here. More reviews can be found using our TSO review index.
