SIMS2 ahh..I'm an addict!
Other than TS2, I love a game called Pharaoh, its a very old game, but it is so much fun. Its city building. Its quite difficult and took me ages to work out but once you understand you get addicted! You basically can play it two ways, you can either build a random city, just build what you like, with no reason, or you can select a 'mission' which means you need to complete certain tasks to complete the scenario. It is usually to do with rankings, like you might have to manage to get 100 prosperity rating, 100 culture, 100 kingdom (how well you are seen in the country) and 100 Monument (how many monuments you have) along with a certain number of posh houses. Other than that, you can also play in timeline mode, which is how you learn the game, it takes you through all the different periods of Egyptian society, and you 'see' how they progress. In the first scenario of that you only have like wells and bad housing, and you can only really hunt meat to feed the people. At the other end of the spectrum you get to the stage where you can make paint, jewellery, have festivals, build pyramids, make papyrus, and loads of other things. You can exchange with other cities. Sometimes there are wars that you have to win.
Its sounds really weird but its so fun. Everything you do will need something else to get there, if you see what I mean. So in order to make pottery for your houses, you need to have a clay pit with enough people working in it to get clay, then you need a potter to make the clay into pots. Then you need a storage yard to store the pots, and then you need a bazaar to sell the pots to the people!
I've blabbed for ages! But its a great game, it would be cheap too. I got the game like 6 years ago for about £10, then I lost it and a few year ago bought the game and expansion for £5 ($10) :biggrin2:
