The Sims 2 By Exene By exene on Jul 02, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I was a really big fan of the first "The Sims" game when it came out. I remember spending so many hours on it and not realizing that it was already past 2am when I decided to take a break. With The Sims 2 there is now a new age, teenagers. The Sims also have aspirations this time around, though I do find it limiting. I wish there was just an evil jerk aspiration, that would've been perfect.

The graphics have gone through a huge update since the first game. Everything including The Sims look nicer this time around.

I'm that big of a fan when it comes to making houses and it's really frustrating when you work really hard just to find out that they can't interact with certain objects, and you have to fix it.

It is very important to know if your system can run The Sims 2. To find it out Google "canyourunit" and it should take you to a website with a drop down menu where you can select the game and it test how well The Sims 2 can run on your system.

I know that "The Sims 3" has recently been released but according to the "canyourunit" website, my system would be able to play that game so for the meantime while I save up for a better graphics card, I'll continue to play The Sims 2.
