This may not be everyone's cup of tea but it cannot be denied that The Sims was a huge success albeit a little buggy.

Scheduled for release Feb 2004 is The Sims 2.

For anyone that is interested, or maybe their better halves

have a look at these cool videos:

Really good Sims 2 trailer

Showed the trailer to the wife, and she thought that it might be "interesting".

oh.. and "Didn't they have fingers in the last one?"

:P

I actually bought the first one, I always enjoyed games like Sim City when I had time for SP games, so I thought I would have liked the sims.

Now only the best SP games I make time for. The Sims however didn't grab me for some reason, I gave it a few goes but wasn't my thing I suppose.

That's probably 'cause you weren't playing it properly (ie. have 3 wives all at the same time, have several kids and have a few gay lovers on the side ... makes for some very interesting social interaction.

.... of course I then bought a hamster which caused half of my household to die of disease ... yes, I swear it was the hamster.

:P )

My woman plays it.
Since beginning I had no interest in it whatsover. It is amusing now and then to look over her shoulder and see whats happening.

Best time was when a guy went and poked his fireplace.
Flames then lept out and consumed him.
He stood there screaming for about 30 secs while the rest of his family & friends casually walked round the rest of the house.
Then I think his wife found him.
She stood there screaming.
He eventually fell and died (stopped screaming), she continued.
Fire people came.
Wife started to sob.

I wouldn't be able to play this game anyway, I'd torture em. Do the walling in trick to em once a day (save em just before death).
Any friends that come round I'd wall in in the lounge room.
Just see what algorithms are around to deal with that, how crazy a sim can go.

Don't forget pulling all the ladders out of the pool.

So basically the only way to make this game fun is to become a bisexual bigamist and semi accidently put your visiting friends on fire.

That confirms my impressions about the game
