This is a review of sorts... If you have any questions regarding the game, ask away...

Got the game in the mail today... Been playing all day...

It's great... I played it non stop for a few hours... It's much more interactive than Sims 1, and obviously better graphics... It's really funny, too... Like, parents will react when a baby poops... They'll get all upset and wave the air and yell :p

The Create a Sim is VERY in depth... It's almost like a wrestling game's CAW, only you cant edit height...

It's great... I made a bachlor, Rob Striker, and I had him marry and they made "WooHoo!"... Fireworks right there! :p They had a baby girl named Bess who looks like Rob, who is currently a child... Went through baby and toddler... Rob is almost an elder, so he's gonna be old and his wife is like 10-20 days younger than him :eek: It's really realistic... Like, you gotta buy food at the lots or have it delivered, you get to choose what they do at work sometimes, etc... I'm in the buissness career, and I bought a toy for my boss, and her kid choked on it :eek:... You can also teach your child to potty train, walk, and talk...

Instead of years, they age by day... To make it a bit faster obviously... I believe it goes:

Pregnent: 3 days
Baby: 3 days
Toddler: 5 days
Child: ??
Teen: ??
Adult: 30 days
Elder: anywhere between 10 and 40 I believe

I've heard that there are diffrent kinds of ghosts who do diffrent things... Examples:

If they die of old age, they are restless if someone new moves in... (Same for most)
If they die in a fire, they can start fires...
If they die of hunger, they can steal food...
If they die of electricution, they start fires I think...
One of them, not sure which, can possess dolls and make their heads spin! :p

There arent THAT many items right now, enough, but there will be offical downloads at the official site and of course have their famous expansions... I already downloaded 6... (Including an Alienware PC)

Overall, the game is great... If you didnt like the Sims 1, you MAY like this, I dunno, cause I loved the first one and loved that... I do recommend atleast trying it somewhere...

I won't be getting it, I didn't like the first one and I don't like this one, this game is too time consuming for nothing, just like Simcity, mind you, I like the games but I won't play them for long if I do get them.

Isn't it online now?

Here are some screens:

My Sim and his wife breaking up... My sim is old now, and she was still young... I had her flirt with the (female) maid, and they got in bed, without him in the room, and tried to kiss the maid... She got mad and I think TOLD him, so he was all pissed and slapped her... So I broke up with her and they got sad, and she had to had a shrink come and help her, then she left :lol:

My Sim's daughter and her soon to be boyfriend playing SSX3 with him watching...

My Sim's daughter's second kiss... I missed the first one since it went to a cutscene...

I'll get more later, it's a bitch trying to sort out which ones are mine and which ones are the game's default screens...

Wow, on second thought the game does look interesting, will they be expanding the game all online as well?

I do want to buy the game now but I don't want to buy expansions every month either so let me know how they plan to release expansions with this Sims 2 now.

I dunno about online, I doubt it, but you never know...

As far as expansions go, yes, there WILL be expansions, and apparently alot of them... But they will be released every 6-12 months apparently... The first one is due in 6-12 months...

I've been messing around in Body Shop, and I came up with the following Tee Shirts so far... More are on the way, and I may distribute them, dunno...

I never got the hang of skinning for Sims 1, so I'm glad it's easy in Sims 2 :p

Edit: I just made two ATHF shirts... The "Freakin' Ladies Man" one and a custom one... (ATHF is bursting out and it says "#1 IN THE HOOD, G"...)

And Stickage...
