The Sims 2

Lizzie has been enjoying the delights of The Sims 2 and I hope she will post a review here! I don't know what it is like yet because she was very keen to play it first!

I am hooked on this game already. I managed to steal a wife from her hubby and she brought her fortune of $653k simoleons with her. Rock on, I am a kept man!

There is some really dubious morality in this game. The girl sim was engaged to a boy sim. My sim comes in and asks the gal to move in with him. She does, they kiss, cuddle, make out and sleep together but can not get engaged. The solution was to really irritate the other sim to the point where he goes away - only problem was their relationship was not going down (despite all the enforced arguments!).

Eventaully the only option was to delete on of the sims. Weird. She was allowed to cheat and murder but not to be engaged to two different people. . . .

I have just stoked my Wife's Sims 2 addiction by ordering her two new expansion packs from Amazon. Sims Open For Business and Nightlife. I am really liking the fact she is enjoying the game soooo much!

EA have now launched their old Sims Online as EA Land that his trying to compete with Second Life and other online reality games. The game will be fully customisable and most importantly, Free. I wonder if I should get in early and start making architectural masterpieces for people to buy. . .
