Sims 2: A Simulation of a Fucked-up Mind

The Sims 2 is no ordinary game. It's a simulation game created by Will Wright, who has also created Spore. To some, TS2 is boring because there is no meaningful plot, and you cna't shoot the living snot out of a bunch of aliens who spew ooze when you hit them with a round of ammuntion from your plasma gun, nor are you racing down the street at breakneck speed preparing to use your nitro-turbo charge to give that egde to speed past the other guys in your modded Civic, nor are you a Half-Elf wandering around, pludering caves and doing heroic quests for gold. You're simply God and all you do in control the lives of a few sims at a time.Boring really, having a bunch of little people at your mercy; little people whose whole lives depend on your decision and for that matter, your every whim and sadistic desire.
Who wants to play God when you can blow shit up?
Even sim babies have an active gag reflex
You may get stuck in a crib from time to time, but at least you can fly!
Girl games - Miss Mary Mack, an old time classic, even played by sims
All those days of boring homework paid off: A+!
Sibling rivalries, oh so real...
The simulated cram session; cool people do their homework on the floor!
The courtship; if only it were so easy.
A celebration of a good life...
Yep, sims think their lives are real; the stress seems real too!
Of course, a little smustlin' can fix any downtrodden mood
Total and utter chaos - why learning to cook is important...
Complete mental breakdowns...
The crowning glory - age!
And finally, closure.
