The Sims 2 is a great game because you get to do whatever you want.you can do an objective now or later.so it's great.
So...the game is about a person(you) who gets stuck in a really small city.the city has like five houses and you en up runing the hotel.there is the town hall where you can build more rooms for you and your guests to enjoy.you casn build up to five rooms your guests can stay in at a time and they usually stay for 1-3 days.but somtimes some bad things happen and you need to come to the rescue.there are small bad things like someone stole a couch from one of the rooms or aliens are invading the town.either way you have to solve the problem.either going to the desert and finding the abbondened couch or becoming ratman and kicking those aliens off of earth.either way its very fun but it can get annoying when all kinds of aliens are invading the town so watch out!
