Ask Google about the Sims. It is far more prompt and knowledgeable than most forumers. Within the forum, this thread http://forums.worldsims.org/showthread.php?t=4148 is a useful place to go.

Sims 2 Rocks I highly advise TS2. I love it. Not only do your Sims act now, they act with intent. That is to say they WANT things, they fear things, they have aims, goals, and motivations. In short, its more immersive than before because your actions not only help the Sim, but play off their expectations, hurting or helping tham in ways not just measured by need bars. Oh, and the graphics are spiffy.
... and in a few short weeks they'll be able to go to uni! ... and get all learned-up ... like wot I am
If you liked Sims1 but were frustrated by some of the limitations, you'll probably really like TS2. It's got a lot more to it than TS1 did and there is a new EP (which adds even more) coming out the first week in March.
Yay! I'll get sim 2 and the thing that comes out in march for my b-day ,but my friend's sim died , she came home from lot and died, My other friend's sim 2 , I heard they can die of being scared hense Scared To Death, also anything i wouldn'y like about this game ?
You can die of a LOT of things. Such as starvastion, scared,fire and elcetricity (funny to watch) etc... So when you get it don't fix anything unless mechanical points are high.
I also love the lifestages. The babies are more realistic than always being in the crib and not really doing much with them. The toddlers are cute too. They actually grow older into children and teens, although I personally think they're child/teen life span is too long. But I like how you can have several generations. Also, you're sims have something to work towards. You can also see emotion on your sims face.
I love all the emotion and apperence if you know wat i mean put into the sims!!! any advice: i find every time i start a family i ALWYS DO THE SAME THING is there any way to spice up my familys life a little in different ways. like how do u get your sims to be lesbians? stufflike that??
To get them to be lesbos, simply have your female sim fall in love with another female sim. You just make them interact as if it were a male. Goose them, Flirt with them, talk with them, and all that stuff. I had a pair of Lesbians, and they even Woohoo! But now I'm making them fight, I've never seen a fight and I want to see one lol
