[quote name='I D 10 T']BTW, to clarify:
You may see my Sims 1 pic of the dying kids...
Well, I got SOOOO sick of the stupidity, and the fact that if your levels weren't PERFECT, they'll whine... I had a huge built neighborhood, but I ended up creating one 'home' for the sole purpose of creating a 'graveyard'... to exact my revenge on these morons...
By comparison, I'[ve played Sims 2 for about a month, and never have, nor probably ever WILL, attempt to kill a sim in that game (well, I may to see what happens, but not to get revenge).
The Sims 2 is literally one of the best games of all time. LITERALLY. Here are the things you know; you grow old and die (Adults grow old after 27 days, it's a good idea to turn off aging because thats not long enough... but not too long, if you have too many memories the game will screw up). Also, you now have children who look like you (Although you gotta watch it, sometimes you end up with the 'Conan' effect, parts of the mother and father strewn together, sometimes your kids can look like freakshows...).
But there is sooo much more. You can now create tons more stuff in the editor. You can create 'half walls' and 'half staircases' (In other words, you can now create patios and porches). You can create 10 story (Or higher :shock: ) homes/buildings. You can lower the floor underneath your... floor, to the normal wall length and create a basement! You can even go to public places and do what I just said on those very places, and create shops to buy things!
I could go on, but I won't... I shouldn't go on in a sims 1 post anyway...
I may buy one of these myself... But if you are planning to get one, I suggest you get the Sims 2 as well...[/quote]
I have picked up the Sims 2 and have been enjoying it myself. My house, being smaller to start with, only has about 5 floors in it, but it is a really nice for the price I have put into it.
I find myself having a lot of fun just adding onto the house. I play the game to get more money so I can play with the architecture. I moved the pool I have inside and made the second story have balconies looking into the pool. But anyways I digress...
I have not played the Sims 1 a lot but I wanted to finish my collection
For any new players I also suggest Sims 2 over Sims 1. But for anyone that does not have all the expansions pick up what you can (even though it looks like Hot Date is all that is left now).
