It’s easy to buoy a friendship sim in a state of continual nirvana by just repeatedly giving people backrubs and telling them jokes. And although these want goals can be contrived and gamey, they let you choose your level of difficulty. It also makes The Sims 2 more of a game and less of a dollhouse. This casts the cycle of daily living as a means to higher goals like love, fame, and fortune. If it’s family, then you help your son with his homework. If it’s popularity, then you make more friends.
If you choose a sim whose aspiration is money, then you buy him nicer stuff to meet his wants. Similarly, The Sims 2 has mini-goals called “wants” and a macro-goal called your “aspiration,” which are linked. Maxis has taken a page from Diablo, a game hurtled forward by mini-goals (level up, get a better mace, try out this new spell) and macro-goals (kill Blood Raven, free Deckard Cain). As in The Sims, the central focus is buying new and better stuff. If your sim is happy, he will perform better at his job, which means more promotions, which means more money to buy more stuff, which means more endorphins. Each sim has 8 needs that you must see to – Hunger, Energy, Social, Fun, etc – and the great challenge is keeping all of those needs at their highest level so as to improve overall mood. But it is awfully late! Maybe he’ll just have a snack, that way he can get a good rest and be in top shape for work tomorrow. Is your sim hungry? Send him into the kitchen and have him prepare a meal. This may sound dull, but once you get to play it, you’re practically hooked.Ī great deal of the fun is time management, and making the right decisions.
The Sims 2 requires little introduction, but it’s essentially a ‘life simulator’, or a game where you guide your little Sims through their mundane existence by taking care of their most basic wants and needs, which includes everything from cooking breakfast to finding a job. It’s the ultimate in “emergent gameplay,” and The Sims 2 is taking it all to some other new level of weirdness. Those dismissing it as some sort of “non-game” really miss the point, or at least they don’t realize that there isn’t a point at all, that The Sims is all about process, not strictly goals. The best-selling PC game of all time is getting a complete makeover, and for those that never played the first Sims game, it may be time for a re-evaluation.
The Sims 2 reminds us that each day is precious. The Sims 2 Create a Sim offers you the chance to live an alternative life thanks to its social simulation functions and in which you can invent characters. 6/10 (1884 votes) - Download The Sims 2 Free.
