However, some objects and features from the original series were remade for this sequel.Įlectronic Arts has released eight expansion packs and nine stuff packs for The Sims 2. Due to this, The Sims 2 was not made backwards-compatible with any content from the first generation of the main series. Because the entire game has progressed from 2D sprites to 3D models, all content in The Sims 2 had to be created from the ground up. For instance, the Goth family has aged significantly with Bella Goth mysteriously vanishing in the 25-year period.
The Sims 2 is set some 25 years after the original game. In addition, the game features clear days of the week with weekends when children could stay home from school, vacation days when adults could take time off work. Aspiration points are acquired through the fulfillment of wants, which could, in turn, be used to purchase aspiration rewards. Consequently, the level of the aspiration meter determines the effectiveness of a sim at completing tasks. Each sim exhibits wants and fears according to their aspiration and personality. Another major feature is the aspiration system. Sims also age through six life stages from infancy to old age and subsequent death.
The sequel, developed by Maxis, takes place in a full 3D environment as opposed to the dimetric projection of the original game.
