Today is Sims 2 Day

It's September 14th, the day the long-anticipated Sims 2 gets released. Four years ago, LK and I got the original version and had to fight over who got to play. Throw in Yunn-Shing, his cousin-in-law and then-roommate: and then there were three. We had heaps of fun. Looks like that fun is going to be augmented with the cool features of the new version.

- Three-storey homes
- Different channels on Sims TV
- Teenage Sims can climb out the windows at night (aka Sneaking Out)
- Sims can die from a variety of ways
- You can email your Sims friends
- You can chat online and make new friends with other Sims
- Cleaning is now a skill you have to learn

There're probably other cooler features but these are the only ones I'm getting off the top of my head.

I pre-ordered a copy (the DVD version - plays in your DVD-rom) and I hope it'll turn up soon. The thing is I'm not supposed to be playing any computer games until I graduate next year. So...I think I'll have to keep it sealed in its box (okay, maybe just one peek) and hide it away in the closet under the extra pillowcases. If my mom is visiting, I'll pass it to her to bring home to Singapore. Better it be in LK's hands than mine.
