To all Sim2 addicts out there?

Question

i am strategy games addict. and i heard that Sim2 is great game? what it is all about? and why do you see it a good addictive game?

Answer 1

well i'm an addict myself:)
u have to try this game, believe me its very nice
what makes it a bit unique compared to other strategy games, is that is includes anything u can think of in Life (but not war n stuff like that) its more about social stuff.
when playing the game u can design and create the people who ur gonna play with, starting from how their eyebrows look like to their needs and wants in life.
ur creating a person from a-z, genetics, clothes, life aspiration, business aspiration, needs and wants, turn offs and turn ons...almost everything.
after choosing ur family members, u design their house from outside and inside decoration, even wallpaper and floor type.
after u set everything, you make them find the jobs they like, and the kids can go to school too, u control how the adults move on and get promoted and how the kids get good grades. u also make them make friends, best friends, fall in love, get married and have children.
when u buy the sims2 expansion packs (amazing stuff) u can make them own their private businesses, work at home, go out to pubs, gyms, libraries, shopping..etc
u can play at the university and help ur sim graduate with high grades.the latest expansion pack lets u have pets too.
to make it shorter although i used too much details, its an amazing game which u can sepdn hours and hours playing it, controling ur sims and make them accomplish many things in life.
it gives u endless satisfaction and great time.
u'd better take a look at the website www.thesims2.com and take alook at the expansions which are university, nightlife, open or business, glamourlife, family fun stuff and pets.
if ur interested, i advice u to buy the originals from Virgin mega store at city stars (the pc version is the best) and feel free to contact me for more help
enjoy:)

Answer 2

I just got the Sims 2 yesterday. I immediately loaded it and played it for hours. It's hard starting out because there a bunch of new things to learn such as the "Aspirations." I can't tell you too much about it because I haven't gotten very far myself. If you liked the Sims 1 then you should like the 2nd.

The Sims 2 has a different look as well. It's a lot better in my opinion. Also, they start you off with three different towns, I think they were called Pleasantville, Stangetown and I forget the last one. I hear also that you can create your own towns as well.
The game gives you a lot of freedom and you can create families just like in the first one, however, in this one you can actually see a toddler grow into an adult. It's a lot harder than you would think (but fun!)...you have to make sure they grow into a good child, unless you want them to be dysfunctional. So you have to teach them to talk, walk etc and also potty train them, put them to bed, tuck them in - it's a full time job!

Actually I would recommend this game for anyone that is thinking about having a child...it's a good step to see if you can handle a real one.

With all that said, I'm very much looking forward to running home and playing more of the Sims 2. You should enjoy it. Good luck!

Answer 3

Yes it is a great game. It is about you controlling the sims life you control there life and choose what they do and how they live. I like mostly cooking the food on the playstation 2 because you get to choose what to put it in and create something. You just control whether they live die work or stay at home and just have fun. That is what really got me addicted to it lol.

Answer 4

I got addicted to the Sims mostly because I am going to college for Drafting and AutoCADD. To me, just designing the houses and everything is freaking awesome, but then getting to play the people in their houses, a big plus.

Answer 5

I like that its open ended and it can turn out so many different ways. I also like that they have fears and wants and different aspirations.

some users have made up their own challenges. I think the most well known is the legacy challenge. I know there are others on the sims 2 bbs though.

Answer 6

Answer 7
