Gameplay
In The Sims 2, players control characters called Sims, as they interact with their virtual environments, engaging in activities and forming relationships in a manner similar to real life. The Sims 2 does not have a defined final goal; gameplay is open-ended. They do, however, have life goals, wants and fears, the fulfillment of which can have good or bad effects. There is also a wide-range of cheats to be used.
Sims
Sims are the characters a player controls, and are the main drive for The Sims 2's open gameplay. A player's Sims can experience a life generally reflective of reality through events such as working, marrying, having children, having children out of wedlock, adoption, homosexual relations, affairs, partying, eventually dying and others.
