About this product

Product Information

The world's most successful "people simulator" gets a new lease on life in The Sims 2, the first full sequel to Maxis best-selling original. This 2004 release updates nearly every aspect of the Sims experience, from opening presentations to deep-down gameplay. The sequel features full 3D graphics, extensive new building and decorating options, and characters who are far more realistically complex than those of the first game. The original Sims earned unprecedented success by encouraging players to be creative and set their own goals, instead of asking them to follow a script or work towards some ultimate conquest. Most Sims fans eventually created entire neighborhoods full of unique little virtual people -- not to "win" the game, but simply for the fun in doing so. Above all else, this sequel is designed to encourage players to create their characters, houses, and neighborhoods with even more imagination, and in greater detail than ever before.<br> <br>Characters in Sims 2 lead fuller, more complicated lives, and they are not immortal; they grow up, grow old, and eventually die (though gamers who would prefer their characters did not age can enter a code to turn this feature off). Sims have an average lifespan of about 20 hours of playing time, though characters who lead especially happy, successful lives may live to be older. For many, this mortality makes families even more important, since in a sense, characters can live on through their offspring. Sim children inherit some of their parents' physical and emotional traits, so a notable characteristic in an aging Sim may reappear later, in his or her children or grandchildren. Inheritance goes beyond mere genetics, however, and characters can share special interests and encourage positive traits in their children. Of course, homes and other material possessions are also passed down and kept in the family.<br><br>Since Sims now have a lifespan, perhaps it is fitting that they also have life goals. Concerns such as empty stomachs, full bladders, or a lack of entertainment still influence day-to-day activities, but each Sim is now more fundamentally motivated by one of five overall, lifelong Aspirations: Family, Fortune, Knowledge, Popularity, or Romance. A Sim's particular Aspiration is chosen when the character is created. Success is determined by a running tally of important moments and events that move the character toward (or against) his or her particular goal. Fortune-seeking Sims may get points for earning a promotion at work, for example, while Family-oriented Sims might score for spending some quality time with their children. If a Fortune-aspired Sim is fired from his or her job, however, points are subtracted, just as if a Family-motivated Sim were to catch his or her spouse having an affair. Successful Sims enjoy long, fulfilled lives, while those who lose too many points may spiral into nervous breakdowns.<br><br>Although it is likely that new expansion packages were being planned before The Sims 2 even hit store shelves, certain favorite features introduced in add-ons for the previous game are reprised in the sequel's main game. Since different Sims players have different content preferences, three separate starting neighborhoods are included, to accommodate different themes. Pleasantville presents the height of suburban living, where Americana ambles along at a comfortable pace. Eerie extraterrestrials still watch over the neighborhood of Strangeville, however, and they may interact with its player-controlled inhabitants, abducting stargazing Sims or even joining with them to produce hybrid offspring characters. Meanwhile, in the soap-opera-esque neighborhood of Veronaville, the "Cap" and "Monty" families are constantly feuding, even as their children secretly fall in love with one another. As always, players are free to step right into the middle of any of these impending melodramas, or create entirely new stories of their own imagination.

    Great game, some glitches

    I've been playing Sim games since the original SimCity many moons ago, but The Sims 2 is by far my favorite game, and the one that is the most addicting. The graphics are great, and if you spend enough time on it, you can create characters that mirror almost perfect images of people in your real life. Technology just keeps getting more amazing every day. My only problem is that even with a brand new MacBook Pro, the game will run slow, have glitches, and shut down occassionally. I had the same problem when I played it on PC, but just assumed it was bcause of a slow processor. In short, this game is incredibly enjoyable, but have patience, because on almost any system (with the exception of personally built gaming system computers I would imagine) it wll probably run slow at time because ...

    Good game, alot like the original.

    This game is good, not great. I was a big fan of the original Sims for PC, and it's expansion packs. I tried to resist buying Sims 2, but couldn't. I went out and got the Sims 2 and some expansion packs, costing over $100. Built a house, played around a bit, sold the game. It is the original Sims with better graphics, and a some new features. I just wasn't impressed with it. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game, and enjoyable for awhile, but nothing making it worth over $100 with expansions.

    The SIMS 2 Reviewed

    I am a HUGE fan of the SIMS 2. I played the SIMS 1 when it was out also. If you're looking for a game that will entertain you for hours and hours, then this is the game for you. The graphics are very good. A few downfalls to the SIMS 2: Loading Screens - Loading screens are the worst part of this game. For every expansion pack there is probably a loading screen to go with it. There is a loading screen from a specific house to a neighborhood, from the create-a-character screen to the neighborhood view, etc. Price - The game is NOT an unreasonable price, but for every expansion pack they create you have to shell out another $20-$50. Overall, the SIMS is fun and exciting.

    fun game

    In The Sims 2, your Sims will be more lifelike, more responsive, and more complex than ever before. You&apos;ll be able to control your Sims over their entire lifetimes, taking them from their first steps to their golden years. Guide them through &quot;Life&apos;s Big Moments&quot; and build their &quot;Life Score&quot; with every decision you make. And since every Sim will have its own DNA, their appearance and personality will be passed down through the generations. Life in The Sims 2 will take on a whole different dimension with our entirely new 3-D engine.
