Addicted to The Sims 2
I enjoy playing Sims 2. I'm so fascinated by the game, that I'm sharing this lens with you. I kind of hope my family doesn't read this lens--they may start to realize how much time I actually spend with the Sims.
I hope this lens will be a great introduction to the Sims and a resource for those who are already fluent in Simlish (language of the Sims).
What is the Sims 2?
Skip this section if you're familiar with the game.
The Sims 2 is a game for those of us who love to micro-manage!You get to build and decorate houses--with multiple stories. Then of course you need someone to live in the house--that would be a Sim. You choose the gender, name, fitness level, physical characteristics, personality traits, clothing, and life ambition for your Sim.
In the Sims 2, your Sims progress in age from infant to toddler to child to teen to adult to elder.
Your Sims need your help to be healthy and happy (or you can purposely destroy them--too cruel for me). They are promoted at work based on skills, attitude, and friendships.
Obviously this is just a brief introduction of The Sims 2.
Warning: This is an addicting game! My husband teased, but then he tried it. I had to wait forever for my turn!
Starting The Sims 2
Tips for Beginners
2. The PC version is completely different from the XBOX, Playstation, or hand-held options. I love the PC game, but do not enjoy the others.
3. Check the Computer Requirements--you need a good-quality graphics card or it won't work. This happened to me at first--very disappointing!
4. The games are rated for Teen and Mature. While children would find the Sims 2 enjoyable, there are some social interactions that aren't appropriate for children.
The Sims 2 for you!
Note to Family: I'd like to complete my collection!
My husband has kindly given me an expansion pack every time he purchases a new game for himself. I'm currently playing with all of the expansion packs except Celebration Stuff and Ikea Home Stuff.

Sims 2 Sites for Custom Content
Free Downloads (donations are highly acceptable)
- Mod the Sims 2
- I love the objects that modify my game play! Sometimes I get tired of waiting for the Sims to earn skill points, so I use modified objects to speed up the process. Yes, some may consider this cheating, but we're not keeping score (are we?).
- Paladin's Place
- While there are many fine downloads here, I love the automatic bill payer.
I never have to send my Sims to the mailbox, or get the annoying collection notice.
Sims 2 Storytelling and Videos
You can make your own!
The Sims 2 dashboard has a camera icon that allows you to take snapshots of your sims. I like to take pictures of their birthdays, weddings, and other special events. The snapshots are combined like a scrapbook.I need more practice making videos, but they are pretty cool. Especially when you add music! I liked the Barry Manilow video (see next module), but it was rather sad.

Hello everybody!
Well I really love play the sims. And I become to love more when I knew about some singers who made songs in simlish. Now I really want to learn everything about this language! If anybody has the translate, "Simlish dictionary" of the frases and words, pls send to me! ;D

Hi Tailee, Fun Sims 2 lens. The graphics on the vids look amazing. I see that new dimensions to the game have been added. I've been a big EA Games fan for several years. Sims is fun. I like the voting plexos. ~Music Resource~ Posted January 30, 2008 |

Western Miami feels like living in Sim City. Tomato fields are dug up, pipes layed, rows of identical houses with a police station, fire station and school and eventually highrises all spring up in a moments notice. Great lens! 5*s. Posted November 27, 2007 |
