 Whoa... March 8, 2008

When I ordered this, I was expecting a small, slim little guide with a few tips and strategies. I mean, how much could there be to a computer game? So as you can imagine, I was surprised when I pulled out a thick, 366 page book that broke down everything you could ever need to know (and more) about The Sims 2 into sections, explaining and describing everything, in detail, from Sim genetics, pre-made neighborhoods and the pre-made families that inhabit them, NPCs, Sim memories, Sim death, building a house... okay, I'm confusing myself (and probably you). Here is the complete chapter/section list:br /br /---br /br /Part One: The Basicsbr /-Chapter One: Getting To Know The Sims 2br /-Chapter Two: Getting Startedbr /br /Part Two: Creating Families, Neighborhoods, And Simsbr /-Chapter Three: Welcome To The Neighborhoodbr /-Chapter Four: Create-A-Sim And Geneticsbr /-Chapter Five: Simologybr /br /Part Three: It's A Lot Like Lifebr /-Chapter Six: The Six Ages Of Sims: Playing The Generation Gamebr /-Chapter Seven: Needsbr /-Chapter Eight: Aspirations, Wants, And Fearsbr /-Chapter Nine: Skillsbr /-Chapter Ten: Careers And Schoolbr /-Chapter Eleven: Social Interactionsbr /-Chapter Twelve: Family Lifebr /-Chapter Thirteen: NPCsbr /-Chapter Fourteen: Community Lotsbr /-Chapter Fifteen: Objectsbr /-Chapter Sixteen: Disasters, Disease, And Deathbr /br /Part Four: All In The Family: Sims In Actionbr /-Chapter Seventeen: The Ex-Machina Family Blogbr /br /Part Five:br /-Chapter Eighteen: Build Modebr /-Chapter Nineteen: Story Mode And Moviemakingbr /-Chapter Twenty: Sim Autonomybr /-Chapter Twenty-One: The Sims 2 Body Shopbr /-Chapter Twenty-Two: Custom Contentbr /-Chapter Twenty-Three: Appendix A: Cheatsbr /br /---br /br /So, yes... if you play The Sims 2 at all, get this book. Even if you're just a casual player. I assure you, your Sim gaming experience will be much better. The only regret I have is not having this book around when I first started playing TS2.

If you don't get this book you won't fully understand all the featues of the sims 2. Everything you need to know is there.
