    This game is creative, fun, clever and addictive!! The only thing I would change is how quickly and drastically they age (there is a huge jump from adult to elder). Adding pets would be another suggestion. But other than that, A great game!

    It's safe to say this is one of the best games I've ever played. It hasn't been quite a year yet since I first played it, but it's just so addictive and fun. Yes, it has the old ''put the rubbish out'' and the "go to the toilet", but it's much harder than that. And much more fun.

You can create a group of crims, politicians, group of nerds, hideous Sims, gay and lesbian Sims, torture areas, prisons or you could be racist and have a bunch of Asians in your basement writing novels for you. There's so much creativity, freedom and nice additions which make it (probably) the best Sims game yet. The best thing about the Sims 2 is the cheat codes. Ever want to make your Sims forever happy? Ever wanted to purposely kill a Sim? Ever wanted a huge amount of money? Ever wanted to alter their personality even more? Ever wanted to see what that particular Sim looks like in a swimsuit? Ever wanted to not make your kid/teen go to school? Ever wanted that Sim selectable? There's too many to mention. Best cheat codes ever. The only bone I have to pick with it though are the bugs and glitches in this game. Even though I have the patched up 2008 version, there's still a truckload more. It will crash a lot, you sometimes can't use objects, Sims will freeze and there's nothing you can do about it... And of course a lot more. 9/10 from me.… Expand

Another one, this probably pisses me off the most, is in the Pets expansion, you can't control your pets! Why not? They could have made it possible. But they didn't! It's still a great game and can keep anyone entertained for hours, unless you have a very, very short attention span or ADHD or something.… Expand

    This game is amazing, you have loads to do on it such as holidays, shopping trips and you can also buy a pet, the sims grow up really fast so you don't really get chance to do much as children. It is good the way at the bottom of the screen it shows you what the sims want to do.

    The Sims 2 is one of the best PC games ever developed. The transition from the original The Sims was huge life stages, social options, richer tools and neighborhoods are just a few. The game could have ended up complicated but it's in fact a very simple and dynamic game that never gets boring.

    The Sims 2 has a lot of new features that really immerse you, their is so much more content, a new town builder, community lots that you can visit without having to buy expansion packs, a proper Create-a-Sim tool that really lets you create almost any Sim you want, the house building tools have been expanded, it is just so awesome with what you can do on this game.

    Even controlling The Sims are a lot more fun now, with awesome new graphics and improved 3D view making it much more immersive and fun, The Sims 2 really makes me feel like my Sims are actually there, even though they aren't real.

    However if I must I do have one criticism, and that is get the expansion packs. This might not sound like a criticism but get the following expansions:

    Open For Business
    Nightlife
    University
    Bon Voyage
    Apartment Life

    Because you need these just to see how much potential this game has.
    There are other expansions like Pets, which although I like I wouldn't always use and their is also The Sims 2 Seasons Expansion, but I never bought it and to be honest I don't really mind if their isn't weather in the Sims, it would be cool to have, but I don't fully want it.

    So, since this was for the base game and not including the expansions, I'll give it and 8/10, like I said, get the expansions so that you can fully enjoy this game.

    Oh and also, don't buy the stuff packs, they are a waste of money.    … Expand

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

    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!"

    The Sims 2 is the very height of quality of the Sims franchise. It's better in every way than other products in the series. The subsequent games (review was written in the time of Sims 4 being on market for quite few years) have never even scraped its potential.

    The game has many, many mechanics and everything is polished. It's very fun to play, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

    Es un juego increiblemente adictivo, pero conforme juegues con varias familias te cansas. Ademas, no ofrece mucha variedad en cuanto a modos de juego (como las versiones de consola) o desbloqueables, siendo un juego algo corto y encima, al igual que el anterior, tiene un monton de expansiones. Tambien puede ser increiblemente frustrante y tedioso. Pero lo recomiendo.

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

    It was best game of that time. On series normally sims 4 is better now but it is more fun than sims 3. Masterpiece.

    El peor de la saga con diferencia. No hay genética, pantallas de carga infinitas, las expansiones fueron un continuo robo. No recomendable!!!

    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.

    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.

    I fell in love with The Sims 1. One day EA started handing out the complete edition of The Sims 2 on Origin, so I didn't hesitate and immediately took the game. I did well.

I did well. You can see a noticeable difference in graphics right after launch. The game looks a lot better and you have a lot more options to customize your Sim. The same goes for your house. But what is a huge plus is the ability to travel to other places and you do not have to be at home all the time. A pleasant diversification of the game. However, there is a ton of content in the game and it is a pity that a lot of it is part of the DLC, so you have to pay extra to make your gaming experience a little more varied. Besides, it's a great game and perhaps one of the best life simulators I've ever experienced.… Expand

    The second entry to the Sims series brought even more wacky tone and developed it greatly with very imaginative DLCs. Even more possibilities, even better music, even more Sims.

    I love this game and it's my absolute favorite! I feel I have to take a point off because of corruption issues and glitches but there are ways to avoid corruption. It's an incredibly fun and addicting game! I've played so much sims 2, years, and I still learn new things about it and the gameplay!

    The Sims 2 was released back in 2004 and is still today a fun game. The Game has many details and is very realistic. The physics are great aswell.

    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.
