An elder will eventually die the length of this final stage depends on the aspiration bar when they become an elder.Īs opposed to The Sims, any age besides baby or young adult (which must be made in the University Create a Student) may be created. After 29 days, the Sim will become an elder.

After 8 days, the child grows into a teenager, and will live 15 days before changing into an adult. The baby will change into a toddler in 3 days, and 4 more days for the toddler to change into a child. Babies can also be adopted by calling adoption service on the phone, even by single parents, old age sims or same-gender couples. The baby's appearance and personality will be based on the genetics of its parents (though the baby's appearance is hidden until it becomes a toddler). Instead, every day, it "pops" to a bigger size.

During Pregnancy, the belly does not expand gradually. The mother will spend 3 Sim days (each day lasts 24 minutes though time can be sped-up) pregnant before giving birth to a baby. A Sim will be born when a female Sim and a male Sim try for a baby several times. The main part of the game is to lead a Sim from the start of life to death. Veronaville's characters are based on Shakespearean characters. Strangetown's storyline is based on the supernatural, and is loosely connected with Pleasantview. Pleasantview is based 25 years after the town in the original The Sims. Although gameplay is not linear, storylines exist in the game's pre-built neighborhoods. The Sims 2 builds on its predecessor by allowing Sims to age through six stages of life and incorporating a 3D graphics engine that allows the player to get 360º views of the game as opposed to the fixed isometric view of The Sims. All Sims age, and can live to 90 sim days depending on the degree to which their aspirations are fulfilled. Sims have life goals, wants and fears, the fulfillment of which can produce both positive or negative outcomes. The Sims 2, like its predecessor, does not have a defined final goal the gameplay is open-ended. Players manage their Sims so they can experience rewards and form relationships in a manner similar to real life. The game allows you to create your own Sim, neighborhoods, houses, and families.
