But new to TS2 is the ability to create all ages, except infant, in the create-a-sim area. You may make Elderly, Adults, Teens, Children, and Toddlers. Leaving the house - The only option to leave the home right now, is to send your sims to their vacation home, which you can create. Lifecycle - You'll now follow your sims through 6 stages of life. They include infant, toddler, child, teen, adult, and geezers. Life Moments and Big Decisions - These will effect your life score, and also have an effect on your sim as they get older. Some of these included: Toilet training, first step, first kiss, first crush, getting a job, getting married, ect. Several decisions will affect your Sim's physical traits as well, for example, if your Sim doesn't exercise he will develop that hideous belly.

Object Customization - There is now in game customizing of the fabric styles (but not shape) Other Options - Choice to breast feed or bottle feed babies, teens may "play" but not have babies, Adult sims will have the option to move out, and start a family of their own. Pets - No there will not be any pets in TS2. But there might be in expansions for the sims 2. : ) * Weather- Rain, thunder, lightening, sun set/rise (so far, that's all we know) Teens partying- Yes teenagers can party hard.. But if their parents catch them you have a choice to make.. Kick them out or ground them...if you find them drinking, you should definetly kick them out, but they might come back and beg for money (yikes!) Calendar - The new sim calendar will work by the week instead of month. Sims will have the weekends off from work and school : ) * DNA & Genetics - DNA, and genetics will be a big part of TS2, allowing generational game play. Your sim parents will now pass traits down to their kids. Things such as, eye color, body size, and personality are able to be passed down, as well as some career skills. ziggy http://groups.msn.com/TheSimsMyWay Asst. Manager Needed!
