Now you can fine tune the look of each Sim, creating virtual reproductions of friends and family and if you marry two people in the game you can have the computer automatically produce a child using genetics.
The homes now have a lot more options for architecture and interior design and The Sims 2 even allows you to create your own towns. You can even import cities from Sims City 4 to live in. The audio has been upgraded as well, though not nearly as much as the rest of the game.
The soundtrack isn't much different from the music of the original Sims, but the Sims language, Simlish, has received some polishing. The Sims 2 is a fantastic answer to the original game, delivering just the right amount of tuning to perfect Will Wright's vision without messing too much with the original formula.
This game will make Sims fans ecstatic and may even attract some new ones with its improved look and sound and easier to maintain population.
The Sims 2 came out when I was in college and the girl I was dating at the time now my wife insisted that we got the game day one! The first game was a massive success and many people myself and my wife included were excited to see how they would expand upon the formula.
Well even though this game as I write this is well over a decade old, it holds up very well. Instead The Sims 2 like what came before it has you create the story. This game features some things that make the lives of The Sims feel more real, fulfilled, and just overall better. While it is not a groundbreaking feature now at the time this was a really big deal. While it has been surpassed why what would follow on from it. At the time The Sims 2 was a game that improved on its predecessor and all of its expansion packs in pretty much every way you could imagine.
There is a ton of stuff you can use in this game to make your dream home, new scenarios, jobs, neighborhoods and there is just a ton of stuff to keep your Sims and the others that are around busy. The visuals of the game are much improved from the first game. The only negative that I really have about the visuals is that sometimes the children and grandchildren can just look the same.
I do feel they could have done a bit more to make offspring look like they are related, but not at the expense of just all looking exactly the same.
The soundtrack is what you would expect from a game in this series. I would not say that The Sims 2 has the greatest soundtrack I have ever listened too. However, they have made it very easy to add your own music to the game if you want so that is always an option. The overall sound effects of the game are great and when a Sim talks, freaks out, gets embarrassed, or anything like that it always makes me smile. As this is a game that I played a great deal during my college years with a girl that would become my wife.
The Sims 2 is a game that has a lot of nostalgia for me, I fired the game up recently to see if it held up and I had a lot of fun. Yes, the newer games in the series have greatly expanded upon what is on offer here. However, this is still a really fun time and well worth taking a look at. How do you go about creating a sequel to the biggest-selling PC game franchise of all time?
A game that has single-handedly bucked the demographic of PC gaming, embracing the casual player while alienating the hardcore?
It's a tricky proposition, but there's little sign of panic at the Maxis office, half an hour outside San Francisco. With the walls adorned with artwork from Sim titles down the years employees beaver away in their individual cubes, emerging only to chow down on a quality selection of food and beverages. It's almost like a slightly less surreal version of the game.
Sim Sims anyone? Top Sim is of course Will Wright, the man who started it all. Among other things, this has earned him an office with a view, outside of which sits an impressively comprehensive shrine to Elvis Presley.
Having sold 24 million copies, he's probably not that worried Will, not Elvis , but he is aware of how The Sims is perceived. One of the things we're planning to address in The Sims 2 is to make a game that is strategically really deep and one that will appeal to the hardcore gamers.
And also graphically state-of-the-art, which The Sims never was. The feeling of immersion in The Sims 2 is much higher, it feels much more immersive than looking down on to little toy characters. That much is evident from a quick scan at this page, with the game boasting full 3D environments and intelligent lighting.
But there is far more to The Sims 2 than a bit of cosmetic surgery. Excalibur05 Knackwurst Since: As Far As I Know. Originally posted by Smackfiend Umm Gamecube and Xbox on the otherhand Fair enough.
I guess I was just waiting around for a "Sponsored" one. Still, Sims Online would work about as well on PS2 as it does on computer. Mostly good stuff though.

With Regis and Kelly Promote this thread! Corajudo Frankfurter Since: 7. Does the PS2 version have any of the expansion packs included in some way, shape or form; or is it all original-issue Sims? Smackfiend Mettwurst Since: Not being familiar with the expansion packs, I can say that it is quite different from the original Sims especially in its Get a Life mode.
In that, you go through certain stages, trying to fufill objectives to unlock new stuff for the Classic Sims mode. I would say there's a mixture of expansion packs mixed in there; I haven't seen pets enter the fold, but there's items not in the expansion pack including a Teppan-Yaki table!
I also don't know if dating in other areas come into play, but the current level is throwing parties. Controls are easy enough, btw. I think that, with enough time, they could do Sims Online for PS2 and it'd work.
With Regis and Kelly. Of course the question is, given the current "sucess" of Sims Online, would they want to?
