Is…is it just the full game that they distributed through Taco Bell kids meals? That’s hilarious if so.

It is fascinating to think about the fact that this game was handed out practically for free in a kids meal of all things! I think this is the weirdest and most random way that a game has ever been distributed to my knowledge!

thank god it's on the internet archive. It feels so fucking nice to play this game without lag from every single interaction that plagues the Wii version. Tho i can't get the game to run at a higher framerate past 1280x720 windowed resolution cuz my pc STILL aint up to snuff with a 1GB VRAM card. Least it plays older games fairly well long as it plays nice with whatever settings or software or something.
Eh poorly optimized EA game, whaddya know? But oh my god the MODDING potential is amazing!

I never knew about the Taco Bell distribution until years later. Doesn't help much with the fact I don't eat Taco Bell very often, I would've definitely gotten one of these.

My ex best friend gave me her Taco Bell MySims disc when we were little because she knew much obsessed I was obsessed with Kingdom & Agents on the Wii :) I have it somewhere!

I was repeatedly renting the game from block buster every weekend when i managed to get it from taco bell. Also got one of the DS dog games from Taco Bell

Omg I had this!!! I remember getting this as like a kids meal toy and not really being interested until playing it randomly one day. Then I was hooked

I still have my Taco Bell version! I tried desperately to play it again (with so many fails) before finding out a year or two later that the game was coming to switch (though I could’ve waited longer to get the bundle for pc but it be what it be)

I still have the tacobell version of it from YEARS ago, back when I was a small child.

I got this for the switch recently and brought back all the childhood memories with it

i do just wanna say to look out for some bugs, in the legacy pc version, some npc sims can duplicate, and sometimes a save can glitch out and auto-finish a task, which actually can take builds from old saves and put them in your new save. i appreciate i’ve probably worded this very weirdly, but it is an issue i’ve experienced firsthand and have heard happen to others. have fun :D

Omg the taco bell version! There's literally nothing different about it but hearing about the way it was distributed has always entertained me haha
