In The Sims 2, you can control your Sims over an entire lifetime for the first time. With the addition of genetics, the game lets your Sims pass their DNA down through generations.

Now it's up to you to take your Sims from the cradle to the grave, while fulfilling their dreams and pushing them to extremes.
