"Instead, Maxis has significantly altered the core gameplay by giving every character you create a finite life span. No more treading water in the time stream—every Sim is born, ages, and dies (sometimes naturally). So, instead of managing individual Sims, you'll handle families across multiple generations. Every Sim will have individual digital DNA, meaning when Sims bump uglies, the resulting Sim will be a unique blend of both parents' physical and mental characteristics. Also, environments will more profoundly affect your Sims, with their childhoods having lasting effects into adulthood.

Another addition to The Sims 2 is its focus on life moments, key events in a Sim's lifetime that are highlighted by special cinematics. These memories are recorded in a special scrapbook, letting little Timmie Sim revisit his first kiss or the death of his mom (or a delightful, deliciously memorable combination of both)."
