The Sims 2 (soon to be The Sims 3)

[Mlle d. Sade]

I can't be the only one here who plays this game. I don't even want The Sims 3 (as if my circa 2006 computer could handle it, anyway) I'm so stuck on the Sims 2. I played the Sims 1 and was a total addict. When I *finally* got a copy of the Sims 2 I was blown away. GENETICS! And AGING!
I still haven't mastered the fine art of intertwining legacy families, tho. The kids never like each other (or ANYONE else for that matter) and never reproduce.

I wish I'd found out about First Born Syndrome earlier. ..the genetic clones of parents really bork up the game's atmosphere. Luckily, it didn't happen to all founding families because I usually mess with CAS each session.

Who are your founding Sims? Since I was high, I made 3 brothers and one unrelated female all living in the same house when i first got the game. ..between them all the brothers have around 30 descendants. ..the problem is now in getting people who aren't cousins to marry the 2nd Gen.

Scandals? As with the 1 version of the game, scandals keep you wanting to play. Me being a jackass made 2 of the brothers and the female romance Sims.That's my fav. aspiration. ..as they say "you are what you sim".

Hacks? Have you had a hack-related tragedy? I've had several. ..for the love of Llama. ..BACK UP YOUR GAME!

maaannnnnn...i JUST got Sims 2 last month and i'm not even looking at the third one because this one is sooo friggin fun and addictive! but is it just me or are there two Sim 2's. i have the most recent one with the better graphics but wasn't there a Sims 2 1st generation? i know i had it a few years back but maybe i'm mistaken.
my founding Sims are a character i made in my likeness and my "other half" if you will. we started off as friends but things have gotten hot and heavy. there's a lot of money rolling in now because i make them read constantly, but the house we live in is so small and we can't afford a mansion yet since we're always spending money.
as far as scandals goes, my character was caught "whispering sweet nothings" into a friends ear (i pressed it by mistake..i was supposed to click on "ask to leave") Trent (my other half) saw this and gave "me" the cold shoulder. it took me 2 days before he forgave lol.

haven't found any hacks yet.

I think you might be talking about The Sims (aka "The Sims 1).But you're version of The Sims2 sounds different from mine. There's no "whisper sweet nothings" pop up. ..I bought mine in 2006 and only have the base game-it didn't come with any expansions.
I'm not sure my comp can handle the expansions BUT I'd totally get Nightlife if I ever had the money.

Hacks are EVERYWHERE- Just google the term and you get lots. Hacks keep my game interesting.

I don't know if any of you guys do this but I can't play the game w/o user created custom content- custom hair (afros and dreads that actually look good!) different skin tones and bodytypes for more realism.. ..I love it!
I'll post some pics. http://www.modthesims2.com is the hub of it all for me.

Moar scandals.

yeahhhh you were right. i recently found it...it was called "The Sims: Deluxe" basically the Sims 1 but with a little bit more stuff. anywhoo, that site u gave looks cool but i'm not photoshop geek so i dunno how to make any of that stuff. would be nice to have my sim in dreads, though. post pics, NAO!

You don't have to make it yourself, you just download it and use it in your game! ^__^
I can't make anything either but I download a lot of stuff!

I never played it on the computer but love playing it on xbox...I haven't played it in a while and would love to start playing it again cause it is...to me...the most addictive game...

[Mlle d. Sade]

I've played it on Playstation2 before I got it for the computer and I played the ps2 version ALL the time, even in my dorm until the disc was mysteriously scratched causing it to never work again. I doesn't even look badly scratched. I was crushed.

Lol@mysteriously scratched!!! Sabatoge I tell you!! Lol...

For real! It doesn't look like it's scratched on the surface but it won't play. Someone snuck in and did that. ....

Such a dork. In order to prevent myself from buying The Sims 3 when it comes out, I made like a genius and bought the Sims 2. That'll show me! So now I've got 2 Double Deluxe (Nightlife expansion pack & Celebration Stuff pack included) and Apartment Life. Grrr. What did I do that for? I found some really great dreadlocks but I don't want to pay for them. Someone needs to point me to some nice, long, FREE ones.

I just started playing 2 last year. Good time to start. They have all the mods in order, and they're everywhere.
Even though I got 3, I kept my Sims 2 game.

Everyone should go to a site called "pay sites must be destroyed".
That's it's name.

Google "paysites must be destroyed" and you'll get them for free.

lol I didn't even look at your post before I posted. Yes, the pirates' bay is awesome and I fully support their mission.


Two months ago I discovered TSR had snuck some spyware into the version of Content Manager I downloaded from them before I knew about their evil ways. So I found the Pirates' pay and got rid of the spyware. Done with TSR for good. Pay sites must be destroyed!
