I am taking some time away from it at the moment, as I am telling a friend about it, but it is so cool, and all I have done so far is play the tutorial I have yet to create my own sim and buy a house. It's alot harder then I thought it would be I went in to strangetown and tryed my hand at the beaker family, that is the family you see in the video I linked to where the guy gets hit by a rock at the end. Well while I was playing that family, the guy with the spiked hairs asperations were not met and he suffered a breakdown I think as a therapist popped out of no where to try to get him back to normal And while that was happening, his food in the stove almost caught the house on fire My reaction time is sooo slow in this game My nieces make it look so easy when they play sims 1. _________________________ We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. -Aesop, 620 BC - 560 BC

Harold Registered: 10/25/03 Posts: 17574 Loc: Defiance, Ohio	That didn't help. If the graphics card is going bad, could it just initially have a hard time with the higher resolutions? I had it go black in safe mode too. _________________________

Be something different anyway. Do I have to play it online though? I'm not a big online gamer. _________________________ You have generated errors, you will be shut down.

trallyus The IDEA Man Registered: 11/11/03 Posts: 33102 Loc: ohio	Nope, It's not played online Jbone. At least the sims and sims 2 is not an online game. Not everyone will like the game since it is hard for me at least to keep my sims alive and happy _________________________ We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. -Aesop, 620 BC - 560 BC

trallyus The IDEA Man Registered: 11/11/03 Posts: 33102 Loc: ohio	Don't ask me, but I already found cheat codes online for the Sims 2 already Kind of weird since the game was just released less then 2 days or so To enter cheats in The Sims 2, first open the command console by simultaneously pressing [Ctrl]+[Shift]+C. Note that codes are case-sensitive: Kaching - Ads 1,000 money expand - Expands or contracts the cheat window moveObjects on - Turns moving of objects on moveObjects off - Turns moving of objects off aging -on - Turns aging of sims on aging -off - Turns aging of sims off autoPatch -on - Turns game autoupdate on autoPatch -off - Turns game autoupdate on slowMotion [value] = Make you set the game speed (# = 0 to 8, 0 is normal) help - Lists all the cheats in the game help [cheatname] - Displays specific information about the cheat exit - Closes the cheat window Gonna see if they work soon _________________________ We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. -Aesop, 620 BC - 560 BC

Brian 100+ Registered: 08/30/04 Posts: 154 Loc: Chicago, IL	I so want to get it. I'm just afraid it won't run on this laptop. And Best Buy can be pricks about exchanging software.

Also new meals can be made the higher your cooking skill is I am still playing around with it, but taking a break at the moment _________________________ We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. -Aesop, 620 BC - 560 BC
