The Sims 2

I'm probably the only one on here who loves this video game and expansion packs...

I have the original sims and all the expansion packs, and I have the Sims 2 now and all the expansion packs for that as well.

I think my favorite thing to do on Sims 2 is figure out how to kill my sims without actually killing them. It's interesting.

The newest expansion pack comes out the end of this month. Apparently it' supposed to include "hobbies" or free time for the sims. You are supposed to pick a hobbie for your sim to enjoy. Such as building/rebuilding cars, gardening, playing sports, entertaining (such as singing or dancing), painting, writing...

And you get rewards for making them good at their hobbies.... I'm really excited to see how good of a dj my sim can become, because you get a cool sailors jacket to wear...

Then there is the Sims 3 that is in production right now, and the film based on the Sims is in pre production right now as well.

I have hacks for just about everything in my games. I have a ninja job, jedi warrior job, stay at home mom job, mad scientist/evil genius job.. I can pretty much make my sims do what I want.
I think that every now and then it's fun to pretend you are the supreme ruler of a land....

I only have played Sims 2 on Xbox a little, and the original Sims on the PC a little more extensively. It was fun for a while, but it really got old trying to manage their little lives when I have enough trouble with my own at times

. It was fun, though, and relatively addictive.

I own The Sims 2 for PS2. I love it. Don't have the extention packs for it though. I also have The Sims Pets 2. My sim always plays her guitar on her free time

Ah, I used to play the Sims all the time, when it was only available for PC. After the original & its expansion packs they seemed to get a little too much of the same, so I stopped playing/buying them. But I take it you guys like the new ones?

I love The Sims 2. Problem is, it makes time pass by way too quickly, so I try and keep away from it during the school year in the interest of actually getting some work done.

This game is boring.

Update!

I now have every single expansion pack and stuff pack for the sims, including thousand of outfits, job hacks, hacks to let my sims do more things or have more freewill, and some awesome porches, ferraris, and aston martins to drive to work/school/wherever.

And Sims 3 comes out this month!!!!!

I love this game. It is sooo much fun.

In a random happening, my dad sim was talking to his teenage daughter sim about SEX! I happened to catch what their idea bubbles were about and I was like woah! The dad was basically telling the teenage daughter that sex was after getting married, cause it showed the woohoo sign, wedding rings, and her mother! I was like yeah! That's awesome.

Also, adults can now play in the bathtub. They get in it and pretened they are a pirate! It's hilarious.

They also do random things like pee on the floor (even when you provide toilets for them), get morning sickness if you get one of your married female sims pregnant, the flu, they sing in the shower very badly, if one sim flushes the toilet while another sim is in the shower they get very angry, scream, and run out of the bathroom and slap/scold the sim who did it. The teenage sims also sneak out at night, take the car without permission, get sprayed by skunks if you get too close to one on your lot. They also love to check out their neighbors on their telescopes, although they do enjoy actually star gazing, but if they do it too long they get abducted by aliens for a few days. Also if they are cloud watching you'll see a sim point and then bam he's dead cause a satellite crushed him. (the only way to save him is if another sim who has a very high charisma count and a good relationship with the dead sim pleads and gambles with Grimmy (the grim reaper). You also have the abilitiy to go on dates in the "town" and if you're sims are having too much pda, Mrs. Crumplebottom comes up and hits the guy with her purse and scolds him for being inappropriate. They also primp in the mirror. The teenage sims gets ZITS and you have to apply acne cream to get rid of them. You actually get to teach your baby sims how to walk, talk, and potty train them!
If you have sim die on your lot and you don't export the grave to a ctiy lot, you get ghosts floating around every so often. If they die a particularly horrible death they enjoy nothing more than haunting everyone they see. If they died from natural causes they just float by and wave at their loved ones. However, most people don't like to see ghosts. There is also a very bizarre and random code in the game that makes some of your dead sims zombies or vampires, which is sort of bad, cause they really like turning other very healthy live sims into them.

I've found some really funny things with this game.
One of my favorites are the sims who are not shy AT ALL! When it comes time to go swimming or get in a hot tub, they like to skinny dip and freak everyone else out while doing it.
Your sims also "worry", check out the weather, do snow angels, throw snowballs at each other, and do random things like jump in huge mud puddles after a rain storm.

I love this game. I don't know how anyone could think it was boring.

The original sims was slightly boring, but Sims 2 is anything but.

I'm sure Sims 3 will be GREAT!
