The Sims 2

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's out September 14th since it's gone gold now

You know, in case you need a birthday present for your little sister, or something :shifty:

[Requiem]

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'll be buying it for myself. It looks good...

[DS]

Yeah, I'm pretty hyped for this. Pretty hot stuff in this one.

This will keep me busy until San Andreas comes out.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

genetics and aging look cool, but I remember how hyped up I was for the original with all it's promise, then was let down

I'll definatly give it a try at some point though

[Funky Fly]

I played the sims on GC. 15 minutes later, I returned it to the video store.

[The Mackem]

Man am I glad I didn't buy all those add on packs.

The console ones are far worse than the PC ones and I don't like the PC ones either

[Gonzo]

Sims get boring and stale after a few hours. At least to me they do. :-\

[Funky Fly]

I don't see the appeal.

[Requiem]

I don't see the appeal.
Making all the chicks into lesbians... :shifty:

[Requiem]

I think the appeal for me, was being able to run someone's life, including killing them if I wanted to.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Making all the chicks into lesbians... :shifty:
Heh, apparantly, thats gonna be harder and be "realistic". Shame, because I used a Beavis and a Butthead skin and made them gay. OH THE HILARITY!

I think the appeal for me, was being able to run someone's life, including killing them if I wanted to.
Just the killing aprt was interesting to me on the first one. Small room + mini bar + no way out = dieing in their own piss

[Tornado]

Man am I glad I didn't buy all those add on packs.
Yeah me too.....:shifty:

*Hides his copy of Livin' It Up, House Party, Hot Date, On Holiday and Unleashed*

[SuperSlim]

I dunno bout buyin Sims 2. I did get the first one and enjoyed kiillin them all anyway possible.

[Ninti the Mad]

Ive been waiting for far too long.

Hurry up already. :mad:

My girlfriend is pressuring me into buying it. :shifty:

[tucsonspeed6]

I love the sims....I haven't played it in about 6 months, but I love it!!! :shifty:

[road doggy dogg]

Yeah I dunno, I never really liked The Sims at all. Which is strange, since Sim City 3000 is one of my top 5 favourite games ever, and I really enjoy pretty much every Maxis game.

[Xero]

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'll be buying it for myself. It looks good...
:wave:

I bought all the expansions......................

:$

[Drakul]

I had them all.....Then my pc destroyed a few of them by smashing them into little peices.EA told me to go screw myself cos it wasn't there fault.So I was gonna sell the rest of them but my mum GAVE them away :eek:
I doubt I'll be allowed to get Sims 2 cos my mum will think it'll mess the PC up again and I doubt my PC could handle it anyways.

[Buzzkill]

I really liked the Sims for about a month or so, then I sorta stopped playing. I probably won't be getting The Sims 2, as it seems to be pretty similar gameplay wise, just a bunch of added features and beefed up graphics.

[Tornado]

GOD

The people in my town are stupid. When we sell them the game, we specifically tell them PC games are non-returnable, and to ensure that the game will run on their system. We don't tell them to rush home, rip it open without looking at the back of the box or their machines spec, and install it only to find out it won't run.

Fucking Idiots.

[DS]

My friend had a videocard that wouldn't work and he brought it back after trying to install it and they gave him full credit back and he bought Fable. I want to do the same after I've installed the game.

Yeah we used to take returns on PC games, but the company changed it's policy as we were getting a LOT of PC returns, people were copying games a lot or some crap like that.

[Disturbed316]

Bought this yesterday :love:

I've only been playing it a total of 5 hours and I'm already engaged :$

It is such a huge improvement from the first lot of games. The 3D engine is amazing, and I like all the new features it has. Top game :cool:

[Xero]

The game is great, I got it on Wedensday... Very fun, still getting the hang of it... :p

Ok.I suck at all the Pc specs stuff so does anyone know what specs your pc has to be for Sims 2 to work? I have Windows XP,does that mean it will work? Any help wil be great :y:

[Drakul]

Anyone know a site with loads of screenshots?

[Gouda]

Can you still invite your neighbours over, build a fence around them, and keep them as a pet? Becuase that was the biggest appeal of The Sims. Oh, and inviting neighbours into your pool and removing the ladder to get out.

[DS]

Processor: 800MHz or faster
RAM: 256 MB or more
Hard Drive: At least 3.5 of free space
Video: DirectX 9.0 compatible

Video card must have 32 MB or more memory and one of these T&L capable chipsets
ATI Radeon 7200 or greater

Those are the minimum

[Drakul]

Since I found out my pc mau be able to run The Sims 2 I looked for screenshots for the first time.Now I want it more than GTA:SA or SDvsRaw!

Mark:Hey,Mary.Why dont we try for a baby
Mary: Sure whatever.

[Drakul]

[Disturbed316]

Elder women cant make babies... I think elder men can, though, not sure...

Are you relaxing in bed first, then clicking the other sim?

[Disturbed316]

Whoot! Had some "whoo hoo" in the hot tub...twice :naughty:

Now I got two babies :mad: Little boy and girl, called them Claire and David.

And what was the first thing the proud parents did? They put them on the floor :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Also, my wife brought a friend home from work and look at what she was wearing:

:eek:

[Xero]

LMAO! A NUDIST!

I've heard of people getting out of the shower naked cause something happened, but never someone comming onto the lot naked :p

[Ninti the Mad]

lol u have stair rails as a fence

[Disturbed316]

lol u have stair rails as a fence

I dont care, they love it.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Anyone have the cd key/serial you need for installation by chance?

[Ninti the Mad]

Yeah, I got one with my CD.

BKUL-CS68-J6AT-37Y7-KX4F

It's well worth saying though that a bought copy of The Sims always reaps extra benefits like downloadables
</pre>

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Oh, I'm quite intent on buying it if I enjoy it. I've never enjoyed a sims game before, but have heard good things about this one and want to see it in action before paying the money for it. And thank you Hasney.

[LK]

Going a bit off topic can someone tall me the Red Alert Tiberian Sun serial number if you have it. I would really appreciate it if someone has it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, never liked the original Sims, I'm seriously loving this one though

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Is there a playable demo of it anywhere, I can't afford it right now, plus I wanna check if my PC can handle it.

[Xero]

No, no Demo, because I dont know how they would pull off a demo with this game... It's possible, but it wouldnt be good...

[el fregadero]

It doesn't work on my computer.

Stupid DS and his DVD version.

[MrMeJW]

My computer crashes whenever I play it... this is why I hate buying PC games

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Meh, I played it. Not really my thing, it's already uninstalled.

[Ninti the Mad]

Works great on mine.

[MrMeJW]

Yeah it used to work great for me but then I switched my graphics card and now the sims crash a few minutes into the game but all my other games work better then ever.

[Disturbed316]

:'( my wife just died. The kids are growing up wrong and I am coming to the end of my own life :'(

You need that elixir of life then

[Tornado]

LOL, my fiance "died" after a vigerous session of "Whoo Hoo", but being the stand up gent that my guy is, he pleaded for her life with Death, wh let her live. We're now engaged and expecting kid #1.

[Drakul]

I need to upgrade my pc.Isnt it about 30 or 40 pounds to upgrade?

[Tornado]

Well my graphics card, a 128MB 9200 Radeon was £30. Thats a pretty decent card, all you need to run it. As long as you've got a fairly decent processor and 200+ MB Ram you'll be fine.

[Xero]

My PC runs on this:

Processor: P4 3.06GHz
Card: GeForce FX 5200 128MB
Memory: 512MB

Mine runs great... Just a bit of slowdown when a vehicle comes onto the lot... I run it on 100% (All options set to full)...

[Drakul]

k :y:
I have to admit I want to play Sims 2 more than GTA:SA and SD Vs RAW :shifty:

[MrMeJW]

My computer crashes whenever I play it... this is why I hate buying PC games

I reinstalled it yesterday and now it works great again. I hate admitting how much fun this game is. Its so much hotter then the first.

[The Mask]

how long is the average life span on this?

like in actual human time

[Team Sheep]

What's the music like this time 'round? I seem to remember it being pretty annoying in the first one.

[Xero]

I didnt really count... Maybe about 5 or 6 hours from birth to old age death... I havent gone through a whole life in one sitting, so I dunno...

About the same, but you can put custom music in once again...

[Team Sheep]

Sounds really good, shame I'm skint :(

[Team Sheep]

Does anyone know how to buy a damn fridge?! When I click onto the buy mode, my appliances link has been disabled, so my sims have been living off pizza

[Jonster]

Maybe because you've selected a room that has no appliances.
I noticed the buy mode is a bit more confusing with it's filters.

[Team Sheep]

Oh ye, I've worked it out now, cheers

[Drakul]

you can download some on the official site.
