Features: Sequel to the hit lifestyle simulation. Manage your Sim's dreams and fears over a lifetime. Mix Sim genes and see physical and personality traits inherited down through Sim generations. Movie-making feature lets you control the camera and capture the action into mini movies. Also available in DVD Edition.
Description: Direct the journey of your Sims' lives as they grow from infancy through childhood, teenage life and adulthood. Take your Sims through an infinite number of generations as you evolve their family tree. Generate unique Sims with the new Create-A-Sim, packed with a vast selection of facial features, hairstyles, and outfits, build dream homes, and so much more! Get ready to mix their genes, fulfill their dreams, and push them to extremes.
Verdict: This game is better than the first one. First it has everything you need, much much better graphics, it has a community lot. Its more reality than the first one. The first one I didn't like because you have to work everyday and you don't get a break ... and you don't get old! This one you actually have day's off and vacation days plus you can get a nanny to watch your kids and also you can "wooohoooooooo" anywhere ... lol! I have no problem playing with this computer, for me its fast and its fun. I installed it in my laptop , 256mb and 3.0 ghz and I still find it so fast. No problem at all. Sometimes your computer sucks coz its old. Sometimes memory doesn't help. Memory will let you store more files and data but the higher your processor is the better your computer works when it comes to game, makes it run faster. This game is new with great new graphics added. Everyone asked EA to make a better Sims game which they did. Don't complain to them because your computer is old! Just get a new one!!
