Does anyone play sims 2 anymore

Because those of us who do and have, have seen a huge decline in the gaming industry and a lot of us no longer care about the companies or games like we used to. I have no doubts that The Sims 5 will be released within the next year or two. But will we ever see a return to the amazing ground-breaking games that were created in the past?

But if you ask me about the first three games, then: absolutely YES! Have you ever played The Sims? What do you think about a dollhouse simulation game?

I have full versions of the first three and will stick with those. Like Like. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.

Simmer since the start The very first game I ever owned on my very first home computer was The Sims. The decline I knew The Sims 3 was on the way, before it had been released.

Pets caused my brand-new computer with its brand-new graphics card to start crashing to desktop at random but frequent intervals. Since neither Maxis nor my graphics card vendor seem willing to track down and fix the problem, no more expansion packs for me. Which is okay - what I have already gives the game plenty of options.
