Sims 2 just arrived
 

see you all in a few days time..lol.

Seriously, this has been preordered since last November. Yes, I know I am sad. Yes ,I know I am a girl (duh). I just don't care.

Oh No !!!
My wife already spends hours playing sims ... please don't tell her there's a second episode :helpme

NICE! That game looks GREAT!

you dont have 2 pc's ? :winkwink:

my fiancee plays that way too much as it is, so whats the big difference between them anyways?

seriously i just spent an hour making one character, there are so many options. My husband went out and bought me a bottle of diet vanilla coke and a box of chocolates and told me to enjoy..lol.

I am not really a gamer but the Sims sucks me in and the graphics on this are awesome.

major. In addition to the graphics, etc being a zillion times better you go through the entire lifecycle from birth to death, getting older, etc. If two characters have a kid it looks like them and every kid from there shares 'genes'. Your kid sims grow up, move out of the house , etc and there are different goals than in the first. So far, this has all the stuff the fans have been nagging to have for the past years..great.

It's funny, all of the music in the video previews all have "Sim Speak" for lyrics. Just some garbled fake language.

I should do something with my domain:
XXXSim.com

If you pre-ordered it and just got it in today, I think that you'd better start shopping elsewhere, ha ha ha. I pre-ordered mine from EBgames.com and I got my copy in in TUESDAY !!!

It's a pretty good game, lots of new choices. I'm sure that you'll love it :)

I pre order all my games through ebgames

I've never played SIMS but hear it can become quite addictive :glugglug

Oh yeah, when it comes to games, you just can't beat EBgames. That's the only place where I order from also :thumbsup :thumbsup

i did it through amazon.co.uk - it only came out today in the UK so frankly that is good enough for me.

I have played the Sim's since it came out. I have all of the updates. Been waiting for this one.
:thumbsup

Could this game actually be used as a online dating source in some way? I mean can you actually go online and meet someone and chat to them within the game?

I don't like this game!! Nothing special!

Nice!

I tried it once but apparently I forgot to buy a toilet so I ended up pissing in the corner.

the sims never really appealed to me, but to people who like it - this must be wicked

I never liked the sims... its such a boring and lame game...

Does it merge in to your existing Sims games or is it a completely separate game? If it's separate, can you import elements or characters from existing games?

I use to be so addicted to the Sims...I may have to break down and buy Sims 2. I loved to scour the net and download cool furniture, accessories and clothes, LOL.

It's kind of like playing Barbie's, but in a grown up way. :thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

totally new game

Thanks. I bought the games up through Unleashed but haven't played in awhile. Would be cool to be able to import one of my families into new surroundings. If it can be done I'm sure someone will create a patch soon:)

And to think, I finally broke the Sims habit about two years ago!

This new version looks really incredible - I'll have to check it out.... :helpme

Ooooooh, you're in the UK, that explains it then :) Amazon is a great company, so you did right :)

Could this game actually be used as a online dating source in some way? I mean can you actually go online and meet someone and chat to them within the game?

there is an online sims but i never played it because I would rather be in my own world than with a bunch of teenagers. Heck, that is what GFY is for.

My computer probably wont be able to run Sims 2 :( Looks like fun though.

We bought it last night at Best Buy. My kids are going to love it.

The simspeak is hilarious. I still laugh when i even think of the commercials on the TV all in simspeak or when you practice speeches in front of the mirror/play the parlor game.

still playing..lol. Guess I should sleep at some point.

I just got mine tonight. So far it looks pretty cool.
:thumbsup

yeah, very good so far...and yes, I slept.

going crazy already?

Nice timely bump.
