I dont like it that much. I dont like the fact that EA went overboard on expansions with the sim series without adding much of anything in each expansion pack.

Sims 2 was a remarkably good sequel, though it didn't hold my attention longer than two weeks. Things seemed a lot more 'flowing' than in the original game, in which I felt that the actions and gameplay were a bit mechanical, so to speak.
As ever though, I was more interested in the creating and building of Sims and their houses. When it came to the actual game I quite quickly lost interest. I did have an interesting game where I put myself and my flatmate into the game - I ended up becoming part of the military while he wooed our housemaid into marriage. Like a little soap opera, it was.

Exactly my feelings about the game.
I create, yet I get bored with the game fairly quickly. I start a new household every few months, and see if I can do something wacky with my sims, but I lose interest, and leave the sims to oblivion. Rinse, repeat.

I liked The Sims 2. I havn't played it in ages though.
I still play it once in awhile.
But I typically only build houses from scratch. I will create and move in a family into the newly created house, but I have no intention of actually controlling the Sims, and let them do their thing to make sure the house is functional.
Sadly, the Sims' "free will" is pathetic, and forces me to use certain construction /purchasing tactics in order to compensate for their poor "free will".

Not exactly. I dunno about Sims 2 - but here's why i liked Sims 1:
Because everything seems happy and jolly good in the game - of couse i had to exploit the fact that sims can die. (when a sim dies, it leaves behind a tombstone) At this point i realised what the ultimate goal of this game really is : To have the biggest graveyard in the neighbourhood.
The most important thing is you have to get money. Which means you have to play "nice" for several days ... or cheat.
So ... how to start building your graveyard ... why not invite eveyone over for a party at your swiming poll - Yay. So while everybody is in the swimming poll, use the "force move object" cheat to sell the "poll ladder" so that no one will be able to get out. After this, go do all your normal sim life things, sleep, go to work, eat food; and check if the people in the swiming pool drowned themselves because of exhaustion. When they're all dead move their tombstones to the graveyard. Hmm ... there is still need for more bodies, your wife could be a good supplier. Have a baby. Wait 3 days for it to grow into a child. And get him in the swimming pool.
But the swimming pool trick is getting old ... need to find another way to kill them. Deactivate AI and leave them outside, in the graveyard at the exact spot you will put it's tombstone. They will yell at you continouslly, pee on themselves, and fall asleep in their dirt. Eventually they will die. And you don't even have to move the tombstone to the right place. This gets boring eventually, and the children factory doesn't work very well with one wife. You need to "marry, have child, kill both, repeat" To get the maximum number of kids on the shortest time.
Need to find some other way to kill ...
Ooops, having your kids near the stove when mommy is cooking is bad ... especially when it catches fire ... i wonder who sold the fire alarm. The fire wasn't put out in time to save the kids. Oh well...
The new wife can't cook. She must die for that. --> Build a square room outside of your house. Add a stove - set yourself an "objective" if she manages to cook 10 meals without the whole things to catch fire she will be allowed to have a decent death in the swimming pool.
But it's more fun when there are a few friends over - isn't it ? Invite them, get as many as you can in the small square room and use the "force move object" to sell the door. They will try to extinguish the fire themselves, but they will burn one by one eventually.
Trust me, you'll have the loveliest photo album in the neighbourhood. (it automatically takes photos when smthing important happens - stuff like dying) And all your neighbours (if any) will envy your beautyfull graveyard.
I took some pretty good screenshots from my game ... too bad i don't have them anymore ...
It's a fun family oriented game.
Maybe Sims 2 is the same ... maybe the sims 2 players can tell me how many ways are there to kill someone ?

I played the sims 2 for PS2, but only on multiplayer, Canuck (another dude on the forums) and I went into an aliens house and began launching rockets, we later got millitary uniforms and began calling ourselves the V2 squads

I like playing the Sims 2. I highly recommend getting some custom addons for it too as they help make the game even cooler. There's a place called http://www.modthesims2.com/ that has a lot of addon's. You have to register though but I think it's worth it.

There are so many sites where you can download clothes at. I had looked at almost all the sites, but I can't really remember now which sites had what (hard to remember when there is 100's or 1000's of sims sites). I'd ask your question at the Sims2 site's forum: http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/community/bbs/index.php?pid=Community_bbs
Ways to die in Sims 2:
1. Old age- If you lived a great life then hula dancers will also show up with the grim reaper.
2. Drowning
3. Electrocution - When you are already pretty low in three need levels and then get electrocuted when repairing something, you could die.
4. Burning/Fire
5. Starvation
6. Satelitte - If you choose the 'watch clouds' during the day, or stargaze at night (without the telescope) there is a very small random chance that a satellite will fall on you and crush your sim.
Note: If you use the telescope at night you could be abducted by aliens.
7. Death by flies - If a lot is so messy and has so many fly infested dirty objects there is a chance that all of the flies on the lot will converge into one giant killer super swarm.
8. Death by disease- Just don't let your sim get cured from their sicknesses for over 10 days (a simple cold is not potentially lethal, but if you ignore it then it becomes pneumonia, and that is potentially lethal).
9. Scared to death - Similar to the electrocution, if 3 needs are dropped to very low levels from a ghost scaring him/her, the sim could die.

Wow, I didn't know that there were that many ways for the Sims to die in 2.
Do you know if one can create a community lot, and move gravestones/urns to it to make a cemetary ? If so, I may have to create one, and kill off a few sims to populate it with.
