I have a Windows XP, but I'm not sure if I've got the right stuff (I tried playing Black and White 2 and it didn't work.) Are there any add ons that I need, something that'll cost my under $700?
Also, which would you prefer: the original Sims 2 or the Holiday Edition? And which expansion packs should I get?

The system requirements for all Sims2 games can be found on the official website (www.thesims2.ea.com) and usually on the box or in the instructions booklet. The Sims 2 is an EXTREMELY graphics-heavy game and for smooth, unchoppy performance usually requires a high-end video card. I have all the expansion packs except for the most recent, Pets, and after getting the 2nd ep (nightlife) I had to upgrade my computer. The most important upgrades, if you find the game runs slow or has choppy graphics, are an increase in RAM and a video card upgrade. You should be able to get near-top of the line upgrades for around $400. What specific brands and models of cards and RAM you need will depend on your computer's specs. I got the best ATI Radeon graphics card that was available at the time for about $250.

The Sims 2 Holiday Edition is exactly the same as The Sims 2 except it includes holiday themed objects. In addition to expansion packs, the sims franchise also offers stuff packs, which are disks that add new objects, building tools, and clothing. The Holiday objects are available in their own stuff pack so even if you just have The Sims 2, you can add those objects at another time. I would recommend for your first ep purchase to get University. Each expansion pack adds an incredible amount of gameplay and they are all fantastic, but I find its easiest to add them in the order of their release. If you have the fourth ep, for example, and want to install the 3rd, you'd have to uninstall #4, install #3, then re-install #4.
