If you're the sort of person who hated the original game, don't bother posting in here. I suspect your opinion will be highly predictble, and of little value to anyone. After all, I'm kind enough not to post in your FPS threads preaching about the brainless banality of them all. So you can return the favour.
Now that I've insulted almost everyone, back to the topic.
Is the Sims 2 any good? I played the orignial for ages, along with a few of the expansion packs too. Eventually however, I did tire of it. So for those of you who've played the latest installment, what's the good, bad, and ugly about The Sims 2?

Before you even consider buying this you need to check that you have a graphics card which is compatible with Direct X version 9 and all your windows XP updates fully installed and running, as the installer has problems installing to anything other than Windows XP SP2, with no fix released as yet by Maxis.
