The Sims 2 is a game in The Sims Series. It follows the same goals as the original Sims game, but it is further improved.
The game remains the same but is more realistic. You are no longer forced to only make children and adults. Now, the following sims are available: Baby, toddler, child, teen, adult and elder. You can have young adults if you buy an expansion pack. Also, sims are no longer stuck in the same age forever; they now grow up! 3 days after a baby is born, it becomes a toddler, The toddler eventually becomes a child, the child a teen, etc.
Also, you can leave your house more in The Sims 2. Each town has lots you can explore and more are added if you get an expansion pack.
You can also make your own town if you get bored of the ones EA gives you. You can build it from scratch or import a town from SimCity 4. The Sims 2 is the only Sims game where you can do this.
The Sims 2 is also the best reviewed and most well-liked by fans and critics, so if you're torn between Sims 1, 2, 3 or 4 Sims 2 is probably the way to go!
