Product Description

The Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff is an expansion pack that requires the complete Sims 2 game in order to play. In The Sims 2, like The Sims before it, which quickly grew to be on of the most popular PC games of all time, you create one or more autonomous characters (sims) with distinct personalities and needs. You then create a virtual household for your sims, deciding whether they're roommates, spouses, or parents, and you move them into a pre- or custom-built house and neighborhood.


Turn your sims into dragons, princesses, pirate captains, and more with the new costumes. View larger.


Add a whole new selection of furniture, clothing, and home decor to your Sims 2 characters' world. View larger.
Your sims will interact with each other and other sims in their community, with children going to school while the adults head to work. The Sims 2, however, has several new options, such as an enhanced neighborhood editor that lets you import custom cities from Maxis' own SimCity 4 (not included), and expanded building options for building bigger houses.

The most significant additions in The Sims 2 are the behavioral and character enhancements made to the sims themselves. While sims still have specific personality types determined by their horoscopes and adjustable individual characteristics, such as neatness, niceness, and playfulness, they now have some notable new features, such as memories, genetics, aging, and the new aspiration/fear system. When creating a family, you can now have the game randomly generate children based on their parents' appearance and personality, though you can still edit these children. You can choose to re-create a real-life couple or family to see what kind of genes get handed down from generation to generation. Or you can experiment by interjecting the DNA from an alien into the family tree, as The Sims 2 includes the ability to create aliens from outer space and even marry them off to your more outlandish sims family members.

The Family Fun Stuff expansion pack lets you add a whole new selection of furniture, clothing, and home decor to your Sims 2 characters' world. The decor comes in several different themes, each of which is distinct and fantastic. With this expansion pack you can turn your sims' house into a fantasy castle, complete with four poster beds and tapestries, or decide to make them pirate-loving deck hands with a nautical theme. Costumes come with each theme, letting you turn your sims into dragons, princesses, pirate captains, and more. The furniture matches the theme, so you can add items such as a captain's desk or a complete underwater kids' bedroom set to your nautical theme. For those of you who can't get enough of the virtual sims world, The Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff expansion pack will give you even more hours of fun, with 60 new items and costumes that give your virtual family a distinct look and character.

I love the new items and yes I believe there should have been a bit more to this "pack" but it didn't say expansion so you knew what you were buying. Half the fun of the sims game is building the houses and creating the people so I'm glad to see more new items being added. As for price maybe a bit high but not out of line. I play the game a good bit and felt it was worth the money. I'm not sure why some people are saying there wasn't much to it ... there were many things maybe just not what they wanted.
I love this expansion pack!

This is a great expansion pack, but amazon has it priced at least $20.00 over the "real" price. Don't be ripped off! These expansion packs are normally around $20.00 It has neat kids room accessories and great stuff for the house. One of the neatest things is that now you can dress your little girl in a victorian night gown, to go along with the fairytale bedroom set. There are also some "kids" things you can use to decorate an adults room as well. It also has a lot of "adult" accessories for the house. I really like this pack, but I love to decorate the SIMS houses. If you love to decorate, this is defiantely a pack for you!

Well, when I got sims 2 for my eleventh birthday, I was amazed!! It was the best game ever! It has blow mind graphics and I like being in control! I got Sims 2 family fun stuff because I liked all the beds and the carpets, but when I played it, it had cool clothes and all!! I gave this a 4 star because it was not the best.

I don't know why all the bad reviews. If you love the sims, are addicted to the sims, live for the sims, you will buy anything and everything sims. That being said, this is a great addition to your kids' room and people with longings to decorate their home in a fantastical, fantasy way. I waited too long because of the bad reviews and I regret it. This is a fantastic addition to an already incredible game. Also, 15 dollars is not a lot. Go buy it before the next one comes along and you are left behind.
