Game Description

The Sims 2 is a 2004 strategic life simulation video game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. It is the sequel to The Sims. The game has the same concept as its predecessor: players control their Sims in various activities and form relationships in a manner similar to real life.

Publisher description:

The Sims 2 is the next generation of the bestselling PC franchise. For the first time, players control their Sims over an entire lifetime from womb to tomb. Every choice you make has a relevant and dramatic effect on the life of your Sim. More life-like Sims, all-new gameplay and the ground-breaking addition of genetics gives players a more vivid and in-depth Sims experience.

Guiding your Sims through “Life’s Big Moments” takes on new importance, as players now get a “Life Score” to measure how well they are playing each individual Sim. The decisions that players make throughout the lifetime of their Sims now have an impact on their long-term success or failure. A choice made as a toddler has a direct effect on the teen and adult Sim they become. Will players be able to successfully lead their Sims through such important events as a first step, first crush, or marriage proposal, all while the clock is ticking?

The Sims in The Sims 2 are more aware and responsive to both other Sims and their surroundings. Sims truly come to life expressing moods and feelings through more realistic body animations and for the first time facial animations. They form complex relationships and are able to distinguish between family and friends, platonic friendships and romantic love. Sims in The Sims 2 now have DNA. Passing along physical characteristics and traits to their offspring, Sims both resemble and behave like their ancestors. As in real life, the appearance of the Sims now changes over time. In addition to getting older, a Sim that spends too much time on the couch will develop a paunch and a Sim that works out will enjoy rock solid abs.

An entirely new 3-D engine makes the world of The Sims 2 more life-like and dynamic. The Sims 2 will also introduce an all-new “Create-a-Sim” feature. This allows you to customise the facial features of your Sim with a few simple clicks, to a level of detail never realised before. In The Sims 2, players are now able to build dwellings over two stories and have the ability to coordinate and customise the homes of their Sims to a new degree of design with all-new furniture, lighting and objects.

  1. I done everything but when I try to play the game it says failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters. What does it mean?

    • hi mehmet, when I installed it, it asked for directx so I installed it (it doesn’t work on some computers) but the game still didn’t run. maybe we need to crack it, but there is no crack file.

  5. Hiii!! so basically, I pretty much followed the instructions and kinda winged it, and and I managed to get it working and running, but I cannot get past the loading screen that says “….The sims 2 install in progress” and it’s on this like trivia game. I’ve waited like a day at this point for it to finish downloading, but it won’t get past this screen. I know it’s not a matter of my computer just taking a long time to download it, because I’ve downloaded Elden Ring and COD faster than this lol, and it’s not a matter of low storage, because I have like 700 GB left!! If anyone knows how to get the game started, lmk!! thanks!
