Summary: YES, i love the sims 2...it's just as fun and addicting as the first, plus it's not another expansion pack to the sims, it's a completely new game. It's fun to design faces, and customize clothing, and now it's even easier tp download clothing online, SCORE! The only thing is i miss the downtown mode and vacation mode, though in sims 2 you can buy cloths and other items in a downtown like area but no RESTERAUNTS!!!!

Summary: When you first buy the sims and you go home putting it in your computer, you might notice already that it has diminished the speed of your pc. This is true, because it takes up 3.5 GB of memory, and 256 mb ram. If you are a noob with computers, that is a lot for a non-online pc game.

Also, the 'building' features are more complicated...not as intuitive as in SIMS 1. Good tutorial though. -

Summary: My PC is a new computer, i've had it a month or two but this game takes AGES to load on here. I've tried to work out why but just don't get it. I'm going to try fitting some more RAM hopefully at some stage. It's a bit of a shame the ratings are dragged down by the load time becuase if it loaded faster, it'd definatly deserve a 9 in my opinion
