Game Details

The Sims was one of the most popular games ever made. In it, players micromanage the lives of a family of virtual people, or Sims, and influence their paths toward success or something akin to a nervous breakdown. Its open-ended blend of cartoonish behavior and everyday living is unique in an art form otherwise obsessed with carnage and sports. With The Sims 2, long-time fans now have a deeper game with lots of ways to customize and share their experiences. The game will also attract first-timers because the goal-oriented gameplay and the luridly fun starter families make it easier to get into the action right out of the box.



Now Sims are born with the traits of their parents, families grow, and Sims grow old.

The People in Your Neighborhood

The game starts at the neighborhood level. Here you can create a housing development from scratch or start with one of three premade neighborhoods, each with its own theme. From there, you'll settle on a house and a family of Sims to control.

Aside from the basic needs carried over from the previous game, Sims now have aspirations, wants, and fears. The wants and fears are the day-to-day things that occupy their minds, like wanting to see friends or get married and fearing death or being rejected for a kiss. Satisfy their wants, and they become more efficient at completing tasks you assign them. Realize their fears, and Sims become lethargic, cranky, and unresponsive to your commands. Aspirations are the big-picture things, like raising a family, becoming wealthy, and gaining knowledge. Succeed here and you'll be able to buy odd gifts for your Sim to improve his or her life, like a money tree that pays dividends or a "fountain of youth" water cooler.

What Else Is New?



Of course, you wouldn't be able to juggle all that if it weren't for the improved "Free Will" option, which makes it easier for Sims to fulfill their basic needs. The artificial intelligence of the game is noticeably improved; they won't turn on radios just as a family member is going to bed but, strangely, they do occasionally put their dishes on the floor.

Another big change in the series is the concept of the lifespan. Now Sims are born with the traits of their parents, families grow, and Sims grow old. Not only does this go hand in hand with aspirations (growing up is the first aspiration that a baby Sim will have), it provides a limited time with which your Sims can achieve their goals.

A Family Affair

The Sims 2 not only lets you create just about any type of Sim in any type of family, build elaborate houses, and even create a neighborhood from scratch, but it also allows you to start the game in medias res, with premade households. These families all have backstories that are smart spoofs of soap-opera plots--lots of scheming, romance, ghosts, and family fighting. Parents of teens shouldn't worry, though, because nudity is tastefully blurred out and "woo-hoo" between Sims takes place completely under the covers. The ESRB has given this a Teen rating. If The Sims 2 were a film, it would likely land between PG and PG-13.

The makers have included some nice tools to help share the universe you've created. For example, you can capture in-game stills and video to show friends the private moments, family interactions, and house parties of your Sims. You can even package a household to share as a blog or an album on a special Web site.

The Sims 2 is for patient gamers. Like life itself, the game is filled with mundane details, like getting ready for work and doing dishes. The game also demands a level of creativity from its players that the run-and-gun game genres wouldn't know what to do with. But those who stick with it will be rewarded with an absorbing, amusing diversion and a virtual family history that they've created themselves. --Porter B. Hall

if you want your sims to have full knowledge bars like (cooking, cleaning, mechanical, creative, etc) then when you are at the neighborhood, just enter boolprop testingcheatsenabeld true into the cheat bar. when you are at your sims house, click on the sim and drag up their knowledge bars. you can also drag up any needs you want. or for needs you can just maxmotives.

Okies I'm bgging you all again with a nifty trick
when you go to the cheat cox (shift+ctrl_c) instead of typing in a code click your tab button and random cheats will pop up like maxmotives and part of the familyfuns cheat (you'll need to add on to some cheats like a family name and a number) you can find many of the cheats the tab button lists by typing up Help in the windeow.the cheat box will expand and at the bottom you will find multiple cheats and descriptions andstuff so enjoy I'll try not to bug as much...

okies here's somthing else with the code I tell you always..This is to get cool outfits I forget what game I had but once you could get leaves covering the simes private areas XD.
---------------
boolprop testingcheatsenabled true

enter that in the nieghborhood mode.
Go to create a family
In ther typa an 'N' in that flashing name box
a headline buuble should pop up and tell you about the de-bugging somthing.

And that will unlock multiple outfits and you get the options of giving your sim a zombie or alien skin color. So have fun with some outfits

Some examples of the cool clothes is having npc clothes like social bunny and the maid outfit. they also have the carrer clotherso look around and have fun.

Personal paintings:

So when you paint on an easel you have that choice of painting still life. I've learned how to make it so ANY picture you own can become a picture in your sims house..
step one; buy an easel

step two; have enough creativity point to have the still life option.

step three; heres what you NEED tp keep in mind when it has that small square to click C on it pauses to not hit C just yet click the time buttons and have the game run on time and then pause it from that if you do not do this and hit C the moment the thing pops up the game will un-pause and your stuck with that picture. so once you un-pause and pause the game again click the C to take the picture and the rectangle will go away and your game is still paused

Four: minimize the game screen and go into the EA games file.

Five: find story telling in that file

you sould see the picture you snapped on the game Go and EDIT the picture labled SNAPSHOT Very important for it to be THAT one okay?

six: Pull Snapshot into edit mode

seven: capy and past you picture in the snapshot window and edit haw you need to
eight save it and go to you game and tah-dah they will start painting your picture!

I hope I made everything clear if not post somthng telling me I'm here a lot..somtimes :P

Hi is there a way to lower the risk of getting a sim pregnant even when you TRY FOR A BABY? Is it possible for a sim to get pregnant when they do it in the elevator when you just do a woohoo?
