The Sims 2

The Sims 2 is the sequel to The Sims, the best-selling PC game of all time. It has been released on a variety of platforms. The game is similar in play to The Sims but has new features such as ageing, aspirations, wants, fears, a seventh skill (cleaning), genetics and family trees.

The console and handheld versions of the game differ from the PC game. The handheld versions (Gameboy, Nintendo DS and PSP) use objective-based gameplay. The console versions (PS2, XBOX and GameCube) offer free-from play but only offer one age group. They don't have ageing either but they do offer a lot of unlockables.
