The Sims 2, for those unfamiliar with the fanshise, is a single player simulation game in which you create and control the lives of virtual people. You decide the course their lives will take and if those lives will be happy and productive or miserable. Every aspect of their lives is decided by you. Will they marry, if so, how many (if any) c hildren will they have. What carreer they pursue and how far they go with that carreer. What do your sims aspire to? Do they aspire to a life of pleasure, or family life, wealth, or education? You decide. What's your sign? Is your sim a motherly Pisces , a picky Capricorn or a shy Cancer? The choice is yours. EA/Maxis has created a very popular game that is expandable and open ended in as much as you can download numerous items to enhance gameplay. The large community that has evolved from the game is full of very creative and generous people willing to share the things they make. Everything from fashions, to actual sims, furniture, walls and floors, houses, neighborhoods and even mods (to change the way the game acts) is available. There are so many ways you can play the game and you have so many people you can control that gameplay is unlimited. This game is already a classic.
