Synopsis
The Sims 2 is a continuation of The Sims with more realistic graphics. The body shape of the sim is starting to become more detailed. The Sims 2 is also available to play on mobile phones, such as the Nokia brand which offers this game on the Ovi Store.
The main goal of the game is to play a sim from the start of life until the sim dies. A Sim will be born when the player chooses 'try for a baby' on a male and female sim. The mother will spend 3 days pregnant before giving birth to the baby. V Players can name newborn Sims. The baby will grow into a toddler within 3 days, and another 4 days for the toddler to turn into a child. After 8 days, the young will turn into juveniles, and will live for 15 days before turning into adults. After 29 days, the Sim will grow old and will die, the length of the final stage depends on the aspiration bar when they are old. There are several new social interactions introduced in The Sims 2. These new social interactions can create memories and can relate to certain age groups/groups. Social interactions can appear in the 'Wants' and 'Fear' panels and can depend on the Sim's personality and aspirations. Sims with certain personalities may not want to complete certain social interactions. Like The Sims, The Sims 2 also has many expansions, including:
• The Sims 2: Bon Voyage
• The Sims 2: Free Time
• The Sims2: Season
• The Sims 2: Apartment Life
In the University expansion, players can send their sim to the world of college where the sim will live life like a teenager at college. They will live separately from their parents, live freely, go to campus, even do crazy things like running around naked! (Sim's vital parts will be censored). Sims will rent a boarding house at a cost that is not too expensive. The room size is not very large, but they usually live in large houses. They can also interact with other sims.
In the morning, sims will go to their campus until they will come home around 1 pm. Sims can also do odd jobs such as being a cashier, restaurant waiter, etc. They also have to do the homework assigned to them every time they come home from campus. The goal is that their grades will improve by getting an A+. After their study period is over, they can return to their respective families.
In the Free Time expansion, there are several new features, one of which is the genie from the magic lamp. Sims can look for magic lamps when they enter the cemetery. The Sim will rub the magic lamp and then a genie will come out of the lamp. Each sim will be given 3 wishes to be granted. After all three wishes are granted, all that remains is the option to free the genie or the lamp and the genie will disappear and find a new master.
