The Sims 2
The Sims 2 is developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. It is the sequel to The Sims series. The Sims 2 is not the same as the original The Sims, nor does it have the same allure as The Sims 4's most recent release. So, what is it about this 2004 release that sets it apart from the crowd? Let’s dive into it.
The Sims 2 introduces new life stages to the franchise, including baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, adult, and elder. In The Sims 2, you can now give your Sims not only lifetime ambitions, but also wants and fears that were unique to them. One of the most notable features that distinguishes The Sims 2 from the competition is its memory and emotion system. Fans of The Sims franchise will never forget The Sims 2's emotion and memory system.
In the eyes of life simulation, The Sims 2 encapsulates everything a life simulation should be. From your own character creation and an advanced memory system to whims, fears, and wants that make each sim unique, The Sims 2 simply has it all. The Sims 2 can still be purchased for PC, Mac, Game Boy Advance, GameCube, Nintendo DS, Playstation 2, Xbox, PlayStation Portable, and Java ME.
