EA Games announced on May 5, [[2003]] that the Maxis studio had begun development on [[The Sims 2]]. The game was first shown at E³ in Los Angeles, California on May 13, [[2004]]. Will Wright admits that while most of the content of ''The Sims 2'' are original ideas, inspiration for its own expansions and constituents spawned from the successes of the first game. The community interest in the antecedent [[The Sims: Unleashed]] expansion, for example, ensured the creation of [[The Sims 2: Pets]] expansion. | EA Games announced on [[May 5]], [[2003]] that the Maxis studio had begun development on [[The Sims 2]].
