Life simulators are some of the most popular types of video games out there, largely due to Electronic Arts' The Sims franchise, which was the brainchild of legendary game creator Will Wright and was developed by his own studio, EA Maxis.
The Sims 2 went on to become one of the most popular PC titles of all time, managing to sell huge amounts of copies both in its initial release and in the many expansions and add-ons that were launched after that point.
In order to further capitalize on the success of the franchise, EA Maxis decided to release the title on other platforms, like the Nintendo DS or Game Boy Advance. Set to use the features of the hugely popular Nintendo DS to the fullest, like the touch-screen or the WiFi connection, the DS edition of The Sims 2 was launched on October 24, 2005.
“The Sims 2 for the Nintendo DS has returned closer to the roots of the popular PC title. For starters, the world is fully rendered 3D. In addition, the game is a truly open-ended Sims experience which focuses on customizable gameplay rather than a linear, story-based mission structure. The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS also features a bevy of touch-screen based activities scattered throughout the game that enable users to completely customize their world and gameplay experience,” the official announcement from Electronic Arts reads.
Besides the use of the touch-screen, the title can also boast multi-cartridge multiplayer support, as well as using the memory card in order to store saved games. Overall, for those who want to satisfy their Sims hunger but can't really spend a lot of time in the living room at the computer, the Nintendo DS version is great.
GLITCHESFast Social – part oneNote: Save the game before you attempt this. This trick can only be done if you have Optem Alfred living in your penthouse, and if you have every room built (including the Bovine Shrine).
Set the Nintendo DS system date to October 31 (Halloween) of next year. Restart the system and start the game. You should have several messages. One of them should be from the cashier at your hotel. He will say that a friendly ghost came to the hotel. If you do not get this message, change the date to one year in the future again and restart. Check for the ghost in these locations: Art Gallery, Mamma Hogg's Saloon, Hotel Lobby, Atrium, and Basement. When you see it, go to a person nearby and do a Social with him or her (Impress, Calm Down, etc.) while close to the ghost.
