The Sims 2

Oh, and forgot to say.... the missus was not too pleased that she couldn't import the 100 gazillion objects she's got for the original into The Sims 2. If anyone knows a way of doing this, then you could be doing me a massive favour by sharing it with me

According to one of the young'uns here, not only can you not import any of your old stuff (understandable now that the engine is true 3D) but the selection of stuff you have in the sims 2 is really pathetic. It's like they purposefully did that so they could sell expansion/goodie packs. Keep your eye on the Sims2 Website and the fansites for future downloads. I'm sure it won't be long before 3rd party accessories/tools become available.

Regarding the performance, it seems to run nice (with medium/high graphics features at 1024x786) on a PIII-800 with 256mbRAM and a GeForce FX5200 Graphics card.

One thing that does seem to be apparent is that the simoleons or whatever you call the dumb things are just as stupid as in the sims1. You still have to see to tedious things so that they don't p1ss themselves or put the dirty dishes and the baby on the floor. In my view, nothing much has changed as far as gameplay. Kids still love it though.

yeah, the selection of items on the sims 2 is very limited, they are a lot better than the sims 1 but as it has been said, they will be holding out for the expansion packs

Command & Conquer held the Title before that, now that was a real game, none of this ****ing your pants malarchy, well not unless you get your arse kicked by the AI in Covert ops. Sims is only holding the position now becuase it appeals to both sexes rather than being geared towards males only like 99% of computer games.
The only Reason that I wont even entertain the Sim2 is that baring titles I allready own I am boycoting EA for Killing off westwood Studios and the entire C&C series, Oh and sacking the guy who played Kane
