Sims2 was my introduction to gaming, in general. I did have a cheesy Star Trek game that made you go through a battle scenario before you could get to the 'fun' part of the game, such as solving the mission problem, but I grew tired of that one rapidly. Yeah, me a HUGE Original Star Trek fan. So, Sims2 is the game that captured my imagination. There was no timer (beyond how long the Sims lived) and that could be shut off, which is what the game pamphlet suggested for those new to the game. I often played with aging off, and only put it on when it was time for my Sims' Baby, Toddler, Child, or Teen, to age up. Then it went right back off. That is, so long as I was able to keep my Sims alive. I quickly realized this game was all about time-management. There were and no goals beyond your own, leaving us free to play how we wanted and to what end.
We were given quite the challenge with this game. So much to juggle. I needed the challenge and loved it. Sadly, with the advent of Sims3, much of what I loved had been abandoned for an easier, friendlier to children (of which I'm not, going on 65 this year) and they turned those terrifying ghosts into Caspar the Friendly Ghost . Ghosts just aren't fun anymore. At all. Not for me. They are far more of a nuisance.
What I didn't like about the game is the time-factor. Without turning aging off you really didn't have a prayer beyond cheating. I didn't consider it cheating, in the beginning if I used the reward objects. You needed to make certain before you used most of them that your Sims were in the Green, but most certainly not in the gold or the Red zone. It could be dire, if you did so. :open_mouth: At that time I didn't use the cheat to fulfill their needs. At ALL. Now, I'm addicted to the Make Happy cheat. :open_mouth:
