For players of the original game, this was their first experience of going back to a base game without the add-ons they&#8217;d spent the previous four years (and a significant chunk of money) collecting to expand their experience. The conspicuous absence of features like pet ownership, vacations, fame, magical powers, and urban nightlife &mdash; all of which had been added through the original game&#8217;s seven expansion packs &mdash; came in for a measure of criticism, especially once it became obvious that EA and Maxis fully intended to sell almost all of those features again for The Sims 2 in what amounted on a basic level to remakes of said EPs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/the-sims-2-20th-anniversary\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/the-sims-2-20th-anniversary\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like many children, I grew up playing whatever video games I could get my hands on, my early choices dictated largely by parental preference and what the owner of the sole computer shop in my rural hometown chose to stock.
