Actually it would be a challenge to not to be able to control the members of your own family other than your one character. Remember they say that your life birth to death will be scored somehow.
Personally I don't really like the whole idea of the life-score. I just enjoyed the simplicity in The Sims1 - no real goal or aim. Sure, it'd be good to have life's great moments... but in TS2 it seems as though every little miniscule thing, changes the future/behaiviour of a sim.
control will prolly be like sims1, you can control only one person at a time but have the option of switching to controlling a diff sim. as for the life stuff, i agree that it does ad more realism. when you think about, is an employer really going to hire some one who has poor people skills and is a fat slob to be a policeman? i do hope they add characteristics like a 'deep' sim.. one that doesn't care how a sim looks.. anyway just my thoughts
Hmm... I'm probably misinterpreting but to me, it seems to me that to get a good Life Score, you've got to be the 'ultimate good sim'. I mean, could you be a sucessful sim, even if you were a vindictive plotter? I mean, that happens in real life as well.
They only thing I want from Maxis is to try and have the bugs worked out before the release date. Patches can be very irritating.
Hey josh, this is the sims(2) we're talking about. Of course we want the world. P.S. 2000 posts? I'm lucky to get 10 (daily) and with substance? help!
