The Sims 2 is the first entirely-new generation of The Sims,
the ground-breaking game that allowed players to create and control
people.
The Sims 2 challenges you to direct the journey of your Sims' lives
as they grow from infancy through childhood, teenage life and
adulthood.
Starting with a personality that you give them (or that they
inherit from their parents), your Sims will develop in unique ways
based on your choices and influence.
As they progress through life, your Sims will collect memories
which shape who they are, what options they have and how they
behave. These experiences can have a short or long-term effect on
relationships between family members and friends. Experiences
between Sims when they are children can affect their relationships
as teens and adults. Your Sims can have casual friendships or make
life-long enemies.
Your Sims live in a realistic and vivid 3-D world of your own
creation. When you build their homes, you'll have new options that
will allow you to create decks, attics, and build on hillsides.
You'll be able to choose from hundreds of new objects, many of
which can be customized from within the game. And once you've built
the perfect home, you'll be able to zoom in close to see every
detail of Sim life, from the food in the refrigerator to the
expression of moods and feelings on your Sims' faces.
Rounding out the experience, The Sims 2 delivers dozens of features
requested from fans over the past four years. A new "Create-A-Sim"
feature will allow you to easily make unique and detailed character
faces with a variety of hair styles, facial hair, make-up and
accessories. You'll also be able to choose from a wide selection of
casual, formal, cool and crazy clothing styles. And carrying on the
tradition of giving players the ability to customize their game,
The Sims 2 is designed to allow players to easily integrate content
created by players outside the game.
Prepare to experience the wild ride of life through the eyes of
your Sims in 2004.
