Hermione, not yet for the Mac; just released for the PC. I imagine Aspyr will do the port since it did the first games.

Yes, your sims now age and eventually die.

They DIE? How traumatic!

Maybe it will come out for Gamecube eventually. I love my Gamecube.

Hermione, I dunno. Maybe a version of The Sims 2 will come out for the consoles. The game play feels pretty PC specific so, things would need to be adapted for it to work on a console. If I read anything in the gaming magazines about it, I'll let you know.

LOL! Clivage! How funny!!!!

Well, the baby got here sooner than I was counting on so I named her "Julie" in tribute to you know who. However, the pressures of motherhood got to be too much and I ended up starting from scratch rather than watching everyone die.

This time, Clio Savage (is not working outside the home! LOL!

Hahaha! Clio, too funny.

I finished making my Sim and moved her into a house. I'm in the process of furnishing it.

I'm loving this game. :-)

Right Katoncoast. PC only.

But I don't know if they'll develop a console version later on.

Katon, I think so.

Yep, I'm a girl alright and one of my favorite things too is to "shop" for my Sims. Anyone ever play Cybertown? That was my favorite thing there too. And "cyber" shopping is a lot easier on my wallet than REAL shopping! LOL!

I'll have to do some screen caps of mine and "Savage's" groovy mid-centurty modern pad.

I can't wait! My game should be here in my hands tomorrow afternoon....

LOL! I kept forgetting and didn't think about it until they were in bed, which looks kinda ........ you know.......... for a family board.

I guess I could have posted some clips of us trying to make a baby in the hot tub! hee hee

Ok, figured out how to install my BB Sims ...... just unzip the file (it's self executable) and click on each Sim and you will be prompted to install it.)

Here is the link again......

I got to play a little more this weekend. I love this game!

I had some weird stuff happen to my family though. After my new family was unable to get pregnant, they ended up adopting. Now my kid is unable to get into a private school! The headmaster gets outta the car and turns them down right there before we even get to feed him!

The mother was walking around the house looking like she broke her arm for about 2 days, holding it up, not using it for anything. One morning she woke up fine!

I also have an invisible friend that comes home with the dad. You can't click on him, but you can see the bowl move as he is eating, and the game control moving around in the air when he is playing.

I'm looking for some good skins that are free. Let's start posting any sites we find that offer free skins. I'm always looking for celebrity ones and so forth.

The Sims Resource is a pretty good place for free skins.

The Rock Shoppe has a couple of cute skins, and they promise to bring more.

Zgood, apparently you are using the "Sims on Crack" add-on.

I've been stuck in raising the kids. For various reasons I've had to start over in the kids dept. when things went haywire. In my most recent attempt, I had decided to save the game and go to bed just as soon as my babies (Clio and Scott had twins) turned toddlers. But just before that was about to happen, the power went out and I'll have to start over when they were born.

I'm TIRED of raising the kids!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!

(they're named Arnold and Alison btw)

Great shots Clio! LOL

I've been trying to WooHoo as many times as I can with as many people as possible!!! ROFLMAO What can I say? It's their wish...

How do you get your kids in private school?

Also, it seems that I'm one of those that can't find the Body Shop. I have the DVD version (along with the others) and I can't find it. I consider myself good with computers but....

Clio you Sims are terrific they look so much like the HG's.

I just got Sims 2 installed. I am a huge Sim junkie I have all the other ones. Sims2 is by far the best. I haven't had much playing time and haven't made my own Sims yet. But I'm thinking I know what I'll be doing the rest of the afternoon.

Hamsterlady-

To get your kids into private school, they have to have an A+ grade first. Then go to the phone and one of the options is to call the Headmaster. You call and invite him over to dinner.

Once he gets there, you have a certain amount of time to impress him. Give him a tour of the house (he will follow you around the house and in each room do show room). Then do the schmooze option a couple of times, then serve dinner. Whoever cooked the dinner, once it's served, click on him and click on entertain, then call for dinner. He will then come and eat.

It's pretty easy to do, the first time I did it, I couldn't get him to come eat, then I found the call for dinner option.

Hamster, I have the CD ROM version and the Body Shop is available as a separate menu option. Also, you can access most all of the features when you creat a new Sim Family in the game itself.

And maybe when the headmaster comes to your house, you should try whoohooing him ............ just a thought.

Well, zgood said to impress him, I'm just throwing out ideas!!!!

I know, I know, bad Clio, bad!

Thought everyone would like an update on my "Big Brotherville." I ditched most of the BB5 cast and just decided to do the "all-stars" thing for now. I'll probably re-use everyone from this season later (gosh, I need to get a life! LOL!)

Scott and Clio Savage (always thought he should really change his name to "Savage.") had twins (apparently a rare thing in the game that everyone WANTS to happen, I lucked up and had twins my first time out, pain in the butt! believe me!) The twins are named Alison and Arnold.

(for International BB fans) Ryan and Bree Fitzgerald had a girl named Ashalea. (love using the "stretch skeleton" cheat on Bree and Ryan to make them taller)

Roddy and Amy are pregnant.

No baby luck for Shannon and Will Kirby.

And Will (BB5) and Marcellas Reynolds-Wikle adopted a little boy and named him Bunky.

....... I'll try to post some caps later......

Hi there. You don't need Sims 1 for Sims 2 to work. I don't think there is any cost for online registration and there are a lot of other sites to choose from as well. Someone who is more of an expert can give more details.

LOL! Great Sims Clio!!!

For anyone looking for a console version of the Sims, the closest you'll find right now is a game called "The Urbz: Sims in the City". I linked to the PS2 site, but it's also available for Gamecube, XBox, GBA and the Gameboy Dualscreen. It's also the real Sims, it's not a cheap knockoff of the Sims, just in a different setting.

This game just fights me at every turn! First try inviting the Headmaster? Some bully walking down the block kicked over the garbage can, and Headmaster got back in his limo and drove away. Miss the walls & floors build mode original SIMS had, to add custom decor. Still learning how to build multi floored houses! And is 27 SIM days really enough to go thru a lifetime and get them all their wants & needs? Gee, I can barely wait for Sims 2+ University game at this rate! :-)

Riviere, ds recommends to google for SIMS 2 Cheats until you are more familiar with the game, and to turn off "aging" so your ppl don't die off too quickly on you.

ETA, I have no idea what I just said, but am figuring you might.LOL

Not to be crude, but I spend half my time getting my Sims to eat, sleep, wash and go to the bathroom. I know those items are important but there's got to be more to life than that!!!

A little off subject here, but our teenage daughter asked for Sims "The Urbz", (for PS2) for Christmas....She was up ALL night playing, finally passed out at 11 today and woke up at 6p.m., took a shower, ate, grabbed snacks and is back at it.....She is addicted!

I have made my Sim Big Brother. I took applications and I found 8 people that wanted to be on Sim Big Brother 2. I have made a forum so that you can post messages. The website has a FAQ, Houseguest Profiles, Episode Summary's, and a Eviction Poll. So please check it out!

I always had the "age off" factor yet questioned how in the world a Simbody could go birth to death in 27 days with training, job skills, etc. I got all my old walls & floors in after paring the useless HomeCrafter instructions into legible 3 paragraphs, 3 steps. Yay!!! There is hope!!!
