A Creative Game With Unlimited Possibilities.
In Sims 2 you can literally roleplay the lives of an entire neighborhood, family, or just a single Sim living in his or her bachelor pad. You can build your own home from scratch, put in trees, and even change the landscape. What your Sim(s) do is up to you! In Sims 2 your Sims have needs, wants, aspirations, and fears, and its up to you to accomplish or not accomplish these.
Electronic Arts or "EA" has an A+ Community, and I may say this a lot, because I usually look for that in my game buying decision. You can go to www.thesims2.com or any of the top dozen independent fan sites like www.modthesims2.com/ or www.thesimsresource.com/, and there you can find thousands of custom content from objects, sims, clothes, hairstyles, lots, and even hacks that change the way you play. EA supports their games very well, and you wont be disappointed!
