Update: The Sims 2

A look at the sequel to the game that launched a thousand expansion packs

If there was ever one sequel that everyone expected, it?s The Sims 2. With The Sims expansion machine finally slowing down (now that the final expansion, Makin? Magic, has shipped), The Sims 2 is your next best chance to control the lives of hapless virtual individuals.

This time, you?re in control of not just a single person or family but their entire line of descendents as well. Your Sims will pass their genetic code along as they reproduce so that their children will be true genetic mixtures of their parents. As these children, you?ll be able to play through generations of your Sims? families. Guiding your Sims through major life events, like marriage, birth of a child, etc., will be a huge focus of the game, and how you handle each event will influence the way your Sims grow and develop.

Of course, you can?t have The Sims without social interactions, and the sequel will feature many more possible social moves for you to use as well as additional hair and clothing options. The sequel features Sims that are much more intelligent and aware, and new animations enable them to more clearly show their moods and reactions.
