The Sims 2 (as well as the expansion & stuff packs) is one of my favorite games. Although it operates much differently than Sid Meier's Pirates!, it does offer some pirate clothing for sims. I once saw a pirate-career mod for The Sims 2. Does anyone else here play games in the Sims and/or Simcity franchises?

P.S. You may have heard that Will Wright, the creator of The Sims series, is developing a life-simulation game called Spore. Is anybody here planning to buy that when it comes out this Spring?

I've played all the Sim City games and all of The Sims 1. Also have Sims 2 and Sims 2 Pets.

Its a good series for sure. I might get Spore as it sounds real good too. Wink

I have long been an avid player of the Sims and Sims 2, and what I enjoy the most about the games is how easily they can be modified. There are a number of terrific communities online to join and share mods with.

The two that stand out the most are:

http://www.insimenator.net (and it's adult brand http://www.insimadult.net)

http://www.modthesims2.com (and it's adult brand http://www.sexysims2.com)

They are both fantastic groups with a lot of users and a lot of mods to choose from, plus excellent tutorials and tools for modding the game.

I too am an avid Sims 2 player. Amazing the amount of detail that can be added/changed/modded/built, everything you would like to day in and day out sometimes. Good times.

Well, yah, you can kinda expect that when they're two completely different games. You can't even compare the two, they're complete opposite games.

What I really like about the Sims 2 is the way you can build an entire family from just two sims through as many generations as you want.

Just like real life!

I love the Sims 2. When it first came out I was stunned at the 3D detail, let alone all of the customization, and the open possibilities. Just a shame there isn't very many pirates in the sims world.

I am on board with all of you. I love the Sims and Sims 2. A friend of mine got me started on the Sims. Then she started playing Sims 2. Well of course I had then had to get Sims 2 to find out all the neat new stuff she was doing. I now own all of the Sims 2 expansions and extra stuff packs. I don't play it as often as I would like sometimes. However, I have been known to spend entire days playing it. Glad to see I am not the only one.

The only sims game I've played so far is Sim City 3000. It's very clever and enjoyable; the only problem is that I'm always forced to open a casino because my ungrateful simpletons refuse to pay adequate taxes!

I used The Sims to introduce my spirit-sister to the computer. She's 40-something, so badly dyslexic from an old head injury that she can barely read, and was utterly frightened by computers. I wanted to show her that they weren't all that scary (and to practice my tech support skills), so I guided her through playing Sims and promptly got her so addicted she played for 12 hours straight!

I love the fact it was designed to be modded. I'm fascinated by mods, part because I'm cheap, and mods allow me to get more out of a game, and part because I'm fascinated by the construction of a game. My copy of Sims 2 boasted over 200 mods, and I learned how to mod by troubleshooting and tweaking all those mods to work with one another.

I am a little worse than dave - I have only played Sim City 3000 - but never really got into it.

Allronix - good to hear that you were able to use it with your sister - I hope it helped her.

I've played Sim city 3000. I've still got it lying around somewhere. Will have to dig it up and play it someday.
