The Sims 2

Life is all about choices, and now the choices you make for your Sims will have repercussions that last even beyond a Sim's individual life. The Sims 2, the next generation sequel of The Sims, lets you control your Sims over an entire lifetime for the first time. The ground-breaking addition of genetics enables your Sims to now pass their DNA down through generations and provides an even fuller and more in-depth Sims experience. Every life choice you make has a relevant and dramatic effect on the lifetime of your Sim. It's an awesome responsibility, but someone has to do it. Are you up to the challenge and responsibility of shaping generation after generation of Sims?

It's up to you to take your Sims from the cradle to the grave, fulfill their dreams and push them to extremes. Guide your Sims from infancy to childhood, into the teenage years and throughout adulthood, all while doing your best to fulfill their ambitions and make their dreams a reality. Follow them through an infinite number of generations and evolve your Sims family tree. You have the power to take your Sims to extremes that could leave them fabulously wealthy, immensely happy, nabbed by the police or plagued by fear. Use your best judgment and see if you can bring about generations of happy and healthy Sims.
