    This game is awesome! But i have some new ideas for a new Sims called Sims 3. My ideas are that when the women go into labor that you take them to the hospital and help them through the birth. You should add in there own cars. More electronic selections. Start out with more money than $20,000. Pets include like dogs cats turtles anything from Unleashed.

My ideas are that when the women go into labor that you take them to the hospital and help them through the birth. You should add in there own cars. More electronic selections. Start out with more money than $20,000. Pets include like dogs cats turtles anything from Unleashed. You should really just combine all the sim games together with added items. Those are just some of my ideas. I think it would really be a number 1 seller in the united states. I already know a few people that would buy the game. Also have love beds that vibrate when they have sex. And dont blurr who cares people are going to find out anyways someday. You should just have the game be like a normal life. In the USA you should have them speak English not some language that we dont understand. These tips could really help a new game for Sims 3. Well i hope that you enjoyed my tips and that you consider using them for Sims 3. Thank you for your time.… Expand

Give a very simple gameplay mechanism but also alows for much deeper and more complex senarios for you to create which will please the deeper more experienced players aswell as those newer younger players.

    If you were (or still are) addicted to The Sims, then you'd best not buy The Sims 2.

Theres not much I want to go into to spoil the suprises in store for you, but I can say without a doubt that The Sims 2 is a contender for Game of The Year, and will most likely pick up where its predecessor left off as the best selling game of all time. A MUST buy for any fan of Sim/Tycoon games. … Expand

But its cool.The game was worth spending over 50.00 dollars on. Now I can get some work done while they are playing the game. Big thanks to the people who made Sims, made my life much easier.

Of course, you can create your Sim, and from the beginning you can create children, spouses, or friends for your Sim. I prefer to start from scratch and do the whole relationship thing. What makes this different from real life is that you can build your dream house (it is actually very intuitive), control many Sims, and it has some game elements to it. You have to try to complete Sim's wants and try to avoid their fears to give them aspiration points, which can unlock special items not available for purchasing. It also adds to your life score. There are many expansions to the game: University, Pets, Seasons, and more. I have the University pack which allows a Sim to go to college and it is like a whole other game. The Sims 2 actually brings me emotion, and it feels like I am actually controlling real people sometimes. Those moments when your Sim falls in love with another Sim, when a baby is born, when a teen turns into an adult, all are extremely satisfying moments and can bring out my emotions like no other game can. 12 years later, this is the best Sims game and I am still hooked to this day.… Expand

I wholeheartedly recommend this game for anyone who has a computer. My only advice is to get the expansions, they add so much.

    The last great Sims game in the series. Great expansions that can be re-played multiple times. The community still makes great custom content for it and looks like it will stay like this forever.

    Probably the best Sims game in the entire series. Later games had too much bizarre and unneccesary stuff going on. Sim creation system was very advanced for the time. Graphics are nice even today.

    Top ten greatest PC game of all time for sure. So much production value, great story, great gameplay, great soundtrack. Looking back on it with the lens of having the Sims 3 and 4 released and how abysmal they are in comparison makes this game all the more nostalgic. Its still the best of the series despite being nearly 9 years old (with all expansions). If I could sum it up in one word, "Iconic!"

    Se você é da geração anterior, vai entender como esse jogo foi marcante, bastante divertido de jogar, até mesmo com o pacote básico, horas de gameplay incessantes, até hoje jogar é divertido. Possui diversas limitações para a época, porém elas não atrapalham na experiência do jogo. Os gráficos são bonitos e limpos, com uma variedade de estilos e mobília, ainda vale muito a pena jogar.Se você é da geração anterior, vai entender como esse jogo foi marcante, bastante divertido de jogar, até mesmo com o pacote básico, horas de gameplay incessantes, até hoje jogar é divertido.

    O jogo da minha vida, fico triste de pensar que a EA abandonou ele e a única forma de ter ele para jogar de forma "legal" é comprando o CD, porém hoje em dia os PC's mais novos não tem leitor de CD, por isso eu amo The Sims 2 e ODEIO a EA Games

    2 часть принесла нам невероятную графику в игру, огромное количество новых фишек, предметов, юмора. Игра заслуживает оценки 10/10 и пополняет ряды шедевров!

    Игра моего детства. Не смотря на олдфажеские чувства игра и в правду прекрасна.

    The best one in the franchise, a truly masterpiece. It's a shame that The Sims 4 is so bad and compared to this amazing game it looks like a real trash.

    My favourite game of all times, still so enjoyable and fun. This game has a very special place in my heart because it was the first sims game I played and the one I resort to when I miss the sims franchise. Sims 4 is just very lacking and sims 3 is too buggy to enjoy. The sims 2 is just the perfect combination of the two for me.

    The best game of the series, the best idea.
    The best animations, the best story (yes it is there).
    And what's important, there was a soul in it.

    After the great success of The Sims 2 with the Nightlife, Open for Business, University expansions, it was undoubtedly one of the best games in The Sims series. The expansions were great and always brought new content to the base game.

    Offers a heap of replayability, and then there are all the expansions to look forward to. With all new features, increased graphics, gameplay, and options, there is no feasible reason why you should not purchase this game if you ever enjoyed the original.

    While The Sims 2 delivers great graphics, wonderful music, and a ton of new features and objects; I have to say the minimum requirements should be higher. I have more RAM than it suggests but still feel I need a beefier video card to get rid of the slight glitches that seem to occur while changing views.

    The new features like aging, aspirations, character design, community property, and all of the great story building tools help to make The Sims 2 a more complete game in every way possible.
