I can’t wait to play this omggg!!! I’ve always wanted to enjoy the nostalgia of the sims 2 on PC I’ve always only had sims 2 games for console(they were lame but the only one I enjoyed was the sims 2 castaway) this item came in good condition the first disk was a bit dirty on the front but as long as the other side is clean I’m fine! But I can’t wait to play as I used to be too young to understand the sims 2 on pc I used to watch my mum play it and I’d get so excited to see her play she’d let me play at times but realized I was too young to understand the concept of it! Now I’m working on getting Bon Voyage as your sims get to have piercings with that expansion pack and travel to other countries

I bought this game because... I love this game. It works with vista too, +EDIT+ for the cheat box to come up, you need 2 hit CTRL + Shift + (windows logo) + C. It works on XP w/o the windows logo, when my cousin wanted to turn off aging, the cheat box wouldn't show up as it did on her pc. Found out about it when I used sims 3. There is even body shop, a body building software where you can customize your sims, clothes, and everything else you could possibly think of making. You can start from a scratch, or use a prototype, or clone and edit a previous sim. It comes with Nightlife, which is a fun game as well. Go downtown and hang out with family to bowl, or go out with your friends. You can even make community property and make it better than your house. You can't live there, but you get everything for free. FREE use of any item you want. I have yet to go there, since I want my sims to get a vacation first, or to all be off at the same time, but when I create another family, I know it will be fun. This game is expandable, as with all Sim games. It's a very addictive game. It's rated teen for a reason... Unlike the previous sims games, where there are hints at sexual content, and where if you kiss you get the option to have a baby, you actually have sex...(WooHoo as they put it) They are under the covers, but when they do it the first time, the first scene is more detailed. They grab butts as well, especially when making out. I would recommend this game for people who have been introduced to sex, and know how babies are born, because, they have the option to try for a baby (which is wooHooing) and the sim mother gets pregnant for 3 sim-days (representing the 3 parts in a trimester?) This is a very fun game as long as you are old enough. I would respect the EA rating of teens though. Not recommended for young children. I would suggest a parent play the game first before giving it to their child, and see the scenes I speak of and use your own discretion as to weather or not you think it is suitable material for your child. There is absolutely no nudity, as with all sims games, and after the first time, they are just moving under the covers, and the sims icon over their heads do dances, but they won't know exactly what happens if they don't know already. You can take pictures, and shoot videos. you can make a story based on these videos, and have a sim draw something you took a picture of, and even use your own pictures with a bit of inventiveness with the computer. You need to pause the after taking a picture, then find the file with that picture and replace it, then have the sim draw that. There is a better detailed explanation on thesims2.com. You can also listen to your own music by adding it to the directory. the general area where it could be is documents-EA Games-the sims 2-Music- then there are subsections. You can choose whatever. If you want to listen to something else while building, and another while creating a sim, select the appropriate one. you can even change the radio songs that play in each station. Select the proper station, and copy your music files there. Do make sure that you don't delete the song...wonder what they would dance to then. DON'T DELETE ANYTHING there. When you start your game normally, go to the options screen and audio, the speaker, then select the station you want, and select which songs play, and which don't. You can do this with tv stations too. there is a limit written in the manualRead full review
I haven't played the sims in years but decided to try it out since I was going on winter break. It's great! Not as much stuff to buy as before it seems like but there are plenty of stuff packs you can buy for a really good price on ebay! If you're worried it'll be different from the first sims games, don't, because although it has some new features that make it interesting it's got a lot in common with the original.
This game is a "pack" of three Sims games. I am currently still finding my way around the basic part of the game. It is interesting to be able to guide individual Sims to do specific things, but I would prefer to be able to go from one "house" to another without having to save each time. There is quite a bit of time involved in saving the info from one house before going to another. It is almost like there are separate games for each house. Also, I can't go to the job of any of my Sims so I can't manipulate there. Each Sim has the power to completely ignore me, or to obey... in their own time. This has resulted in a couple of issues (fires & passing out from exhaustion). Because I only have specific choices for direction given to a Sim, there is limitation. It is an interesting game, but would require hours of work just to get to know my Sims. It was worth the price here on eBay, but I don't think I would have paid full price at a brick & mortar store.Read full review
The Sims 2 is focused squarely on nearly every aspect of the family. Sims don't just get old and die, they get born and grow up, and it's your responsibility to figure out how well or how badly those Simbabies mature. No one is saying you have to toilet train your kids, but your Sim parents will have to live with the results. If kids are nurtured, they'll grow up happy, competent, and probably possessed of quite a few skill points to get them started in their careers. If they're neglected, well, the fistfights in The Sims 2 are pretty fun to watch. There's a lot to manage, so you'll really need to make your families function as a unit in order for everyone to thrive. Thankfully, Maxis has built-in days off for every career's workweek, letting you use the time to let a pregnant Sim catch up on sleep, giving you a chance to increase a crucial career skill to help bump your Sim up to the next career level, calling your friends over for a raging party at 10:00 in the morning, or letting you take the whole family for a relaxing day at the water park. The 3D graphics in the game are simply outstanding. A seemingly endless series of facial expressions and body movements have been modeled to bring every moment in your Sims' existences brightly to life. More than anything, this is a game about small defining moments. The Sims 2 is about first kisses and falling in love; it's about morning sickness and cheap showers that scald when a nearby toilet is flushed; it's about blossoming family trees, cheating spouses, deadly lightning strikes, and alien abductions that leave Sim men pregnant. What's not to love?Read full review
