-Create a Sim with Bodyshop-
If you have installed the Sims 2, you already have Bodyshop installed. To launch it, just go to your EA Games folder from the Start Menu. You will see The Sims 2 Bodyshop, click that. It will load, and when it does it gives you the option to Create Sims or Objects. Choose Create Sims From there, you are taken to a screen with a pictures of sims. You can clone of them or create something new. If you want to clone a sim, select the sim you want to clone and click the icon with two sim figures and a check mark on it. Now all you need to do is make it so the sim is the way you want him/her to be. To create a brand new sim, launch bodyshop as described above. When you reachthe screen with the different sims, click on the big box with the Plus (+) init. Here, you'll see on the left various things like gender, age, fitness, etc. Just click on them to customize your sim the way you want them to be.
-Create a Sim in Game-
Creating a Sim in the game is a bit different then using bodyshop. To create a sim in the game, you need to launch it. From there, choose the neighborhood you want the Sim(s) to live in. When the neighborhood loads, you'll see the family bin on the bottom. You should see a big button to the left with a family and a plus (+) sign on it. Click it to start creating your family. Just like in bodyshop, you'll see various things to the right. Instead of pictures, they are numbers. Click on the numbers for the different clothes, genetics, etc for your sim. Small Note: If you have made more then one sim, make sure you set the familyrelationships before leaving or it will complain that you didn't.
Sims' Personality
When you make a sim, you get to choose their personality. This allows them tobe nice, neat, active and so on. This is usually based off of theirastrological sign. Changing the skills changes their sign. Below you'll findout about their different traits of sims.
Star Signs and Personality
When you create a sim you are supposed to give them an astrological sign. Below is a chart of the different signs and which traits are associated with that sign.
The way to read it is if the number is lower it is closer to the first trait listed. For example Sagittarius has only 2 points under sloppy - neat therefore they are closer to the sloppy end of the scale.
Neat vs. Sloppy
Sloppy Sims have the habit of not picking up after themselves, flushing the toilet or making the bed. Neat Sims have no problem doing that, taking out the trash, or cleaning up rotten food. If you have a sloppy sim, it's best to hire a maid
Shy vs. Outgoing
Shy sims don't like to socialize much with other sims. They much prefer tostick to themselves. This also allows their social bar to decrease at a slowerrate. Outgoing sims love to talk to other sims. These types of sims also havethe habit of saying something every time they enter a room with other sims. Asim who is very outgoing will enter a hot tub naked.
Active vs. Lazy
Lazy sims just want to lounge on the couch and watch TV. They don't much carefor any physical activity such as working out. A lazy sim who watches TV tendsto get more fun from it then an active sim. Active sims like to work out orgo swimming. Active sims also have the ability to run anywhere even if it isonly a few feet in front of them.
Serious vs. Playful
Serious sims don't like to 'play'. Instead, they find it more fun to play chessthen to be tickled. Usually a serious sim will earn logical skills faster thenany other sim as well. Playful sims love to tickle people and be tickled. Theyget more social from playing then a serious sim would.
Grouchy vs. Nice
Grouchy sims have a very hard time getting along with other sims. These arethe type of sims that like to poke your sim and cause fights. These sims also have the option to prank call someone but only if you have no points in this area. Nice sims on the other hand, have no problem making friends.

Aspirations
In the Sims 2 your Sims have what are called aspirations. In short it is what the sim wants to do with their life. From romance to knowledge, to family there is something for every sim. In order to succeed in their lives they have wants and fears. Wants are positives, and fears of course and negatives. Wants and fears each have an aspiration point value and they affect the
Aspiration Meter.
Sims' Motives
Hunger
Sims need to eat. If the hunger bar reaches zero, then your sim dies. To keep it up, all you need to do is feed your sim by having them cooksomething then eating it.
Hygiene
As the day goes on, your sim will slowly lose hygiene. Working out, Peeing their pants, and being thrown up on by baies all makes them losetheir hygiene. Have the sim take a shower or a bath to raise the hygiene level. If one is not avliable then the sim will sponge bathe in a sink.
Environment
This tells you how much your sim likes the room. If it gets too low, theycomplain about it. If the room is dirty they are not happy! Cheap items also makes the score low. In order to improve it,you need to fix whatever is broken, clean up the room they are in or just addbetter items like paintings or new furniture.
Fun
If your sims' fun gets too low they will not do anything until it is raised. You also can have a sim play a game.
Social
The more outgoing the sim is, the more they want to talk to other sims. If itgets too low, a social bunny will drop from the sky. Make sure your sims get plenty of interaction with other sims to prevent a visit from the social bunny.
Bladder
The bladder meter just tells you when your sim needs to go to the bathroom. Sims are usually pretty smart and go to the bathroom on their own. If a sim fails to go to the bathroom, they will pee their pants, causing their hygiene to be zero. Drinking coffee and being pregnant will make your sims bladder need to be emptied more often.
NOTE
: You have to see the sims pee their pants at least once... its quite hilarious
Energy
This tells you how tired your sim is. If a sim gets their bar in the red, they will pass out wherever they are and sleep there. In order to prevent that, you can have the sim drink coffee, nap on a couch/chair or even go to bed. Doing workouts and swimming will make them need to sleep even faster.
Comfort
Comfort is important because it can raise your sims' energy bar faster. This will increase every time a sim sleeps or sits down. The better quality of theo bject the sim uses, the faster their energy and comfort goes up.

A Sims' Life
[/COLOR]
[/FONT]
Aging and Death
The new aspect in the Sims 2 is the fact sims can grow old and pass away. During each stage, you have a set amount of days before your sim will age to the next stage of life. You can prevent your sims from aging by using the"aging off" cheat. You also can help increase the number of days your sims has left by drinking the "Elixir of Life". This will allow your sims to have 3 days added to their life when it is used right.
Death in the Sims 2 just doesn't occur from old age. You can die from being sick as well as being scared to death. As each sims die, they will leave behind an urn or a tombstone. If the sim died while in platinum, their tombstone will be gold with their aspiration on it. This will only happen if they are of old age.
Ghost Colors
As a sim dies, they are usually assigned a color - depending on how they died.
Below are the colors of the sims' ghost when they died from anything other then old age.
Pink
- A sim was scared to death by another ghost.
Green
- A sim died from a disease or a cold left untreated.
Yellow
- a Sim died while trying to repair an electrical item. They now have sparks coming from their body as they walk around.
Blue
- A Sim was drowned to death. They will walk around your house leaving puddles of water.
Orange
- Your sim was killed by a satellite.
Purple
- Your sim was killed by a swarm of flies.
Red
- Your sim died in a fire. They will have smoke coming off of them.
White - Your sim died of old age.
White but Transparent - Your Sim died on hunger. They will steal food from yourfridge, thus depleting your own supplies.
Ghost Actions
When a Ghost comes back to haunt you, they will usually leave some sign for youto let you know that they were there. The Ghost will do these actions as they haunt your house
- Turn on/offTV/Stereo for you to see.
Ghost also love to make the toy teddy bear's head spin around.
You also may see a Ghost lift a dinning room chair, even if your sim is in one.
They may causing a tub to fill with water -- This will be dirty if they are in a bad mood. For example, selling their items or have a simre-marry. Flowers and shrubs tend to die if a Ghost is around.
Ghosts also love to make the Incision Precision dummy and xylophone move by itself.
Ghosts will play with the microwave if you have one. They will cause it to float as well as open the door by itself. Also don't be surprised if you see a broken lamp in your house from a ghost. That will happen if you put them into a bad mood.

But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
