The Sims 2 follows the same ground rules as the original: you must guide simulated people called sims through their daily lives, helping them make decisions that will affect their careers, emotional well-being, and relationships. Version 2 adds the concept of Aspirations—your sims now come with dreams and goals that you must try to fulfil. The game also has a genetics component that lets sims pass their own traits down to their kids. You can even create custom sims that look like you. (Macworld)
