jennythereaderSorry I haven't posted for a while. Life is continuing much as it has this past age.
Last week I finally bought Sims 2. I got it home, got it installed, and was told that I didn't have a good enough video card to actually play it. So, with Tom's advice I picked out a new one from NewEgg.com and waited for it to show up. UPS got it to Albany fairly quickly, but they don't seem to have grasped that if you need a signature from the person who the package is addressed to, and they aren't home at 1:00 in the afternoon the first time you try, maybe you should try delivering it in the evening.
I eventually went and picked it up at the UPS offices in Latham. Tuesday night I installed it under Tom's supervision (while he was trying to do about 5 other things at once, thanks love!). The actual object installed easily enough, but the software was a bit more challenging. We finally got it running, and I was able to play my new game.
Sims 2 is interesting. The play is much more dynamic than in Sims 1, and you need to pay closer attention to what your little people are doing.
I may do a more detailed review after I've been playing longer.
