well, the game has really good gfx, i play on high gfx, but if you don't have a really good pc...it would be pointless to even get the game imho. the main diffrence there is over sims1 is that there are 3 neighborhoods. and in these hoods there is hundreds of sims that are allready there, you just can't see their house. You also have community lots now, which is places where you can shop for just about anything from clothes to pc games. new jobs and stuff aswell. I think once a sims 3 is made, it will include where you can finally go with your sims to workand do their job and stuff. and you can prolly go for drives in your cars~ i also forgot to mention, your kids will sneak out late at night if you dont watch them http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/_Giallorossi_/thefamily.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/_Giallorossi_/snapshot_4fb3c93c_4fb70f35.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/_Giallorossi_/snapshot_4fb3c93c_afb72321.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/_Giallorossi_/snapshot_4fb3c93c_efb72303.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/_Giallorossi_/snapshot_4fb3c93c_4fb73358.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/_Giallorossi_/snapshot_4fb3c93c_cfb73364.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/_Giallorossi_/snapshot_4fb3c93c_afb737ac.jpg
