Question

regular sims? what is sims all about? what do you do ? HELP!!!

Answer 1

Sims 1 is the early version of the game when the programming was new and rather primitive. It can run on older machines better than Sims 2.

Sims 2 is part of a new generation of 3D games that are also customized by machine genetics, so you can build sims to look like celebrities or members of your family. This type of engine requires a computer that is not an office machine but a gaming machine with the graphics and CPU, plus extra RAM to be able to handle it all.

The expansion packs for both games only work for the series they were made to expand on. The reason that you need the base game first is that the base game has the music, sounds, animations and programming software that helps to run the add on effects that come with the expansions.

When I first got interested in Unleased (the animal one) for the Sims 1, I didn't understand why I needed to buy two games to play that one with the pets in it at first. So yours is a common question. Each expansion builds on the original game. So if you like your Sim to have a cat and to go on HOT dates and also to be a movie star, you would need the base bame, Unleashed, Hot Date and Superstar for Sims 1.

In Sims 2 if you want your Sim to be able to drive and to have their own business like a pet shop, you would need to have Sims 2 base game, also Nightlife, Pets and Open for Business.
