I got Sims 2. I like it.

You can turn off aging if you want.  Also if you neglect your teenage sims they become sociopaths like Quddus.

I\'ve got that, it\'s fairly easy. The temptation is to build quicker than your finances allow. For the immediate beginning of the game, you just whack down shit loads of low density zones in all 3 tyoes, hook them up to a power supply, then hit fast forward for a bit.

The hard(er) part is later on in the game when you have to balance the funding for all the services like the police, fire, roads, hospitals etc, but even that is not too hard.

I made the mistake of trying to lay down high density zones from the beginning for the first few attempts, and they never developed. Plus they ate up all the money.

never liked games like the sims and sim city unless all the cheats are on - infinte money etc, even then all i like doing is desiging the houses, cities etc.

Mine runs fine on my system. And it\'s a 1.4 gHz with an ATI 7500 card. However, the mother board has about 1 gig of RAM.

it runs on my Laptop and framerate takes a little bit of a hit, but not too much.  Although the graphics are comparable to N64 when I play the same game on my PC at home.
