Hi there all sims fans and those who are just discovering the sims. First in foremost I have loved The sims for the past four years and when I heard about the upcoming sequel in the sim series I was blown away. I have viewed screen shots, joined in chat and read chat transcripts that I missed,just to get as much information about the sims 2 as possible, and the more I found out the more blown away I became. If you thought the original sims was awsome there is no way you won't be impressed by the sims 2. After all it's not the best selling PC and in my opinion The Best PC game of all time for nothing. So if you ask me this is a game that's totally worth buying for fans of the sims or lovers of games abroad:-)!

The Sims 2 (totally cool!)

This game looks so cool- I can't wait! I'm a mac user though so I'll have to wait longer... I was so excited when the first sims came out and I thought it was really cool- now I'm blown away by the screenshots I see of the game. It'll be so cool to have different stages of life, so instead of having the same boring old sim for however long you play, they always change! It'll be nice to have more customizing abilities, so your sim is totally the way you want them to be, plus more social interactions and stuff like that. I also heard that you can have 3 stories (I'm an architectual nut- this'll be so neat!) I hope the people who own PC's really enjoy this game!

It's Finally here!

That's right! You now not just make grown-ups and kids, but you can make babies, teenagers, and old people! But that's not all! You can also make rsteraunts and parks. The game has many more actions and is easier to play. f you loved the first game, you'll love this wonderful sequel.

the greatest game in the history of our universe!!

this is a great game-although expansion packs make it better-thats REALLY addictive! in this game you can create and customize your own little people from birth to death. some new features are that your sims FINALLY have age groups and over a peiriod of time will get older also you get to really get to create your sims faces- its really fun to make them ugly- and you also get a verity of hair styles such as afroes and mohawks-for the men- and long hair for the women-theres more choices but i cant remember them all. now theres new jobs like burglars,law,military,medical,culinairy, and slacker and sports and science. you also have pree made charactors and 3 pree made neighborhoods-you can also make your own. your sims also have tallent points wich they can develope over time- they also make your career go faster. here are the different kinds of music- if i can remember all of them- heavy metal,techno,pop, rap/hip-hopp,salsa... oh yea... i was gonna tell you some of the carreer rewards lye dedector,surgery table,a medicine thing,a chocolate making thing, a minature golf thing, a podium, i think thats it... one more thing you now have wants and fears- for example my fear could be using a public toilet and my want could be to fall in love-and after you fulfill a certain number of wants you get a prize- i wont tell you these- but if you realize a fear you'll loose points. last thing if some one died and their grave is there they might haunt you- sims that starve to death will eat out of your fridge, if your sim died from fire or mallnurished needs they'll fill up your bath tub leaving it dirty and if a sim died and thier spous remarries they'll get jelious and scare that sim- your sims also might have hallucinations such as the social bunny- if your sim's social need gets low- and the theropist- if you loose alot of yor sim's points:see above. thanka for readin!

Great Game Recommened from Someone Who Knows

I have played The Sims, the original, since it came out and own all of the expansion packs that go with it. The original was great. But, when The Sims 2 was announced, I was beyond excited. The game more than met my expectations. If you were a fan of The Sims you have to have The Sims 2!

I LOVE my Simmies people!!!!

I love this game. The idea of the game is to create a person-a man or a woman-young or old- that may or may not have a family-you decide-you choose what they look like, how clean, how active, how nice, how serious, etc.. they are. You decide what they look like and what they will wear for everyday, pjs, swimwear and formal.
You decide if they'll have a family and how many will be in the family. You decide if they will be pretty or ugly, their likes, their dislikes and their aspirations.
You go to the main screen and then you decide where they will live. What neighborhood? How big of a lot to build the house on? They all start off with the same amount of money and you have to build your house within that budget (20,000 sim bucks) or you can buy a premade house. OR you can type in a cheat to give your sims free money.
You move your simmies in and then decorate your house with furniture you have to buy from the buy menu screen. You choose sofas, rugs, decorations, toilets, kitchen cabinets, etc...You choose how many bathrooms, bedrooms and you choose the colors of the wallpaper and floors and the windows and doors and where these items will go in/on the home.

The sims have needs. They have to have food (fridge/stove, or order delivery otherwise they'll die a horrible slow death with pain and suffering-unable to sleep and function) they need to use the bathroom (toilet or they will pee on the floor and lose their dignity) they need a shower or they will have green smoke coming off them and when their needs aren't being met-they will look up at you from their Sim world and wave their arms trying to get your attention and with thier Sims dialect- which is not english and is incomprehensible-they will scream out to you (I am roughly translating what I think they're saying ) "Help me-I need a shower! I stink!!! Look at the green smoke coming off of me! Please! People person who controls my life-My GOD-PLEASE-give me a shower or a sink to bathe myself in!!!" and you may show mercy and give them something to bathe in or you can be a cruel god and let them suffer. Muahahahahaha!!!!!!!
You make them find a job on their computer or from the newspaper that's delivered in front of their house everyday. They have to pay bills that are delivered by a mailman every 3 days in their mailbox. You can have them open their own business from home (expansion pack Open for Business) or lease land and open a store. You decide what to sell and how much to sell it for.
You make them go to work-or school or you can make them play hookey and make them lose their jobs and become fat lazy bums. OH yes, and they do become fat if they don't exercise. You have to make them swim, workout, exercise on a machine or do some other activity-otherwise they get FAT. You decide what they eat and what they eat depends on how well you've taught your Simmies how to cook.
You can make them call other sims or they can greet them into their homes as visitors. But you cannot go off your lot to go visit them. Although you can take your own car or call a cab and go downtown(with the right expansion pack Nightlife) or to a store in the neighborhood and you can go shopping or eat dinner out or go for a night on the town with other simmie friends.
You meet a mate-male or female-gay or straight- you can live together, be engaged or get married. You can have kids or you can adopt-you can even buy or adopt a pet (expansion pack Pets). You then teach your kids/pets to be good or bad-to love them or neglect them (You can't kill the kids-yes, I've tried-you'll understand when you've had one that's turned into a toddler-grrrrr...the social worker takes them away before they are too badly damaged but you can make the little suckers suffer or you can show the little angels mercy and give them a good, loving home. (I don't know about killing the pets, I've never tried killing an animal.I don't care how much they pee on the floor or rip up the furniture-I cannot try to kill a dog or a cat even on my most evil days. And YES You WILL have EVIL days, my friends and your simmies will suffer for it although you don't have to save the game when you're finished and the next time you load it'll be like nothing ever happened. :)
When the brats grow up and go to high school you can send them off to college (Expansion pack University City) after a week, I think. And you can follow the kid into college you decide their major and their friends and love interests and make them do well in school or fail and then when they graduate they become adults and they move back into the regular neighborhood again.
Oh, and the simmies age and they live as a baby, toddler, child, teenager, young adult, adult, elder and then they crook. During their lives they can become zombies, vampires, aliens, plant people and there may be more. ONe of my simmies were abducted by aliens and one was biten by a vampire. It depends on what expansion pack you have. But this Sims 2 game without the expansion pack-you can be abducted by aliens and give birth to aliens. And when you die-you even get a tombstone or an urn. They can come back as ghosts but you can't control them.

THat sums up the game. It's a lot of fun. I like following the family generations. You can have a grandchild or a great grandchild. There are cheats to make them stop aging if you want, also.

Don't waste your money on the console version-the PC version is so much more superior. But you have to have the right specs on your computer so make sure to check those out before buying the game. It was worth upgrading my computer-to me. I have this and most of the expansion packs but don't waste your money on the "stuff" expansion packs because besides the meshes for items-it's really a waste of money. I was not at all happy with the Family stuff expansion pack I got. All the things were ugly and there were only a couple of dozen things-for $20? Bleh! You can download FREE stuff for your Simmies by going to reputational websites like www.thesimsresource.com and www.ModtheSims2.com. Read the how-to page and first download the necessary free software from the website. They have how-to pages. Taking the time to understand what you need and what you have to do and reading what items you have to download meshes for goes a long way and in the end it makes for a great gaming experience. Especially if you like to create great houses, interior design and totally unique people.
Anyway, if your computer has the right specs-definetly buy this game. It is so much fun and addicting. :)

Great game

I was worried that The Sims2 wouldn't work on our new computer, because the old sims was sooooo slow on my sister's computer that was totally the same. The sims2 works wonderfully!! It's so much faster than the old version and there's so much more you can do. This version is even more entertaining than the original sims, which i think everyone has spent at least one full night (sunset to sunrise) playing. I think that the problems that some people are having apply to computers with too much stuff on them. We had the sims on our old computer, and it crashed every time. It was a great computer but was just too full of stuff to play the sims. I suggest taking some programs off of your computer and then trying the sims2 again. Once you are able to play it, you'll never want to stop!!

Great game

this great game has a lot more features than sims 1 and the reason i gave it a 4 stars for fun is because of the addiction involved. I definitely had fun playing it for a long time, but from then on it was basically just an addiction. But this game has to be great if it is able to get you to repeatedly play it day after day so definitely get it.

WARNING about this game

Do NOT purchase this game if you have CD or DVD burning software installed; not even perfectly legal burning software. Maxis and EA Games appear to have decided not to allow customers to play their games if they have software they (Maxis and EA Games) don't approve of.
If you do purchase this game and install it, you will discover when you try to launch it that you cannot play the game unless you uninstall various other software. There is no warning on the box about this conflict and Maxis has not publicized their approach to copy right protection for this game.
Thankfully the store I purchased my game from took it back and refunded my money without any problems based on what Maxis and EA Games have done.

Very disappointing!

There have been tons of problems with the release of this game. A lot of people have had MAJOR crashing/freezing problems. So beware.......I think they are working on a patch....you might want to wait until they get all the kinks out of this one....
