First Look: The Sims 2
Maybe you didn?t hear?The Sims is getting a sequel. Say goodbye to your life and hello to The Sims 2.
Perennial PC Top 10 dweller The Sims and its army of expansion packs is getting a huge upgrade for the sequel. The first thing you?ll notice is the spiffier graphics, but that?s not nearly everything that?s new. When you create your Sims, you?ll have tons of options for a total of over a majillion possible combinations, and this time, when your Sims procreate, the child will look like a genetic mix of its parents?an important aspect of the game since your Sims now grow old and die, leaving their possessions and problems to the next generation. The Sims are smarter and more aware, now, too?they no longer ignore it if their spouse smooches it up with someone else, and a Sim with a bad childhood could grow up lazy and fat, meaning other Sims might shun him, cutting down on his likelihood for hot-tub festivities.
