GAME LOG ENTRY #2
GAMEPLAY
The game was interesting, there was a father, mother, and a child. I would manipulate the family and make them interact with each other and act as a "loving family". I forced hugs on each other, conversations, jokes and dancing. I was making them do things that I considered would be done by family members.
The characters would do their own thing if I didn't intervene. The young daughter eventually would go to school automatically and I got jobs for the parents which was interesting because they would have the game continue until they arrived. I would think that the "scene" would progress until they returned, but no, the "game time" passed until they would finally arrive.
People would knock on their door and not much else would happen but then they arrived. The story continued until I realized I had played almost a total of three hours. Time flew as I was customizing the house, making them food, waiting for them to come back, etc. The Sims gets to be a bit boring because it's just a manipulated version of one's life, but yes, it's still fun at times.
DESIGN
I REALLY like the fact that the game is so customizable, so personal. I didn't like the fact that for creating the Sim characters, there weren't as many options about body features or clothing as I'd like it to have. Conflict is created by when my Sims wanted to cook for their own, they had to spend time on their own reading books to "learn HOW to Cook". It's a way of showing that you must put in effort in order to complete something well. It comes along with a nice lesson.
I was definitely still interested because of the many options that you can complete. There are many small tasks that you can do. You can create conflict between other Sims and so many things that are so risky in REAL life that you can recreate with this game. The Sims is a simulation of life. It gives players the opportunity to be who you would never think of becoming.

GAME LOG ENTRY 1
SUMMARY
There are many goals to the game THE SIMS 2. The main goal is to create a family, be financially stable, obtain a loving partner, reproduce, and to overall have an excellent life.
GAMEPLAY
The game was interesting to play at first. I was creating the characters for the family. It was cool to create humans of my own with specific features. At first i was tempted to recreate myself, but I just decided to recreate my friends. I was somewhat overwhelmed with all the possible choices in maneuvering their facial features; large forehead, wide set eyes, etc. It was quite entertaining to create the family and dress them.
After choosing how they were to look, there was an option of building and furninshing a house. The options were endless! I also then entered a cheat code where I was able to have an infinite amount of money, which was very useful, in order to REALLY create the "house of my dreams".
