All time favorite Sims game
The Sims 2 is my all time favorite in the entire franchise, it's a lot more realistic and aimed more for teens than 4 is. It's got way more detail and EA added a lot more love and care to their games back then, so I highly enjoy 2 and it will forever be my all time favorite sims game. I highly recommend it to 11 year olds (that are mature enough for it) and up.

This Sims game is most advanced one in the sims franchise.
there are so many cool details, for example, a falling expensive tv, kids can rub their legs over a rug and then shock a parent, etc. it also teaches you a bit of responsibility, it teaches you how to actually live, what you should do in your life, but only if you don't dare to use these annoying cheat codes: "KACHING" or even "MOTHERLODE", this game shows what do you get for working hard, being nice to others, there's a sexual innuedo that is "woohoo" which is same as sex, but for me that's okay, because that's an early stage of children learning about how babies are made.

My favourite and last Sims game I've played
The Sims 2 added a bunch of new features that made it more addictive and worth grinding on. Violence is never intended. Characters argue, fight with one another but no blood is present. Sims can also burn on fire as well as die. The Sims 2 adds more sexuality. You can make out in the bath tub and on the couch, stalk your lover, and try for a baby. Kissing is tame. As for trying out for a baby, no sex acts are seen. But you can see the two Sims moving around under the blanket.

Excellent game, loved playing it growing up.
The Sims 2 (as well as the original: The Sims) was ahead of its time. It is a great life simulator and I had a blast on it. It is a childish and quirky approach on life; birth to death. It enables the player to be creative, with the ability to create sims in CAS, build & decorate houses and create your own story lines. If you don't want to, you can also choose from premade households, with their own complex & intriguing story lines. This game does include sex [*woohoo, romantic interactions between sims, relationships, try for baby and more] & violence [**fighting, arguing, mean interactions, enemies and more] references however they shouldn't be a big deal, as a considerable proportion of it is censored or watered down. Despite being an outdated game, it definitely has aged well & can be installed free by contacting EA or using abandonware websites (use it at your own risk, as abandonware is not an official term) I began playing the Sims 2 at a very young age, as my siblings had played it, so it was readily available. It very much depends on how mature your child is, as a parent you should be able to identify whether or not your child would be able to cope with the material, although I think above the age of 10 they should be able to process everything & play it with minimal issue. Overall, a very great game and it is pretty much family-friendly.

Sims 2- A fun game
The Sims 2 is really fun. You can create people and play with them like they are your own dolls! It's really fun to make up stories. (Mine always seem to end with affairs and death.) The Sims have helped me make up stories and be creative and it's really fun.
You can "care" (kind of?) for your sims and it's overall an enjoyable game.
There is sex, but it is censored and shown in a funny way. There is violence, but it is also censored and shown in a funny way. Both are absolutely not glorified. You see the same, often worse in many TV shows or YouTube video.
Overall it's a realistic and fun game that you will enjoy. I started playing when I was ten and I didn't find out anything new or shocking. However, I have rated it 12 and up because some children may be frightened or upset or shocked or maybe you don't want them to see it yet even if it's just a cartoon. It's really up to you but 16 plus is an exaggeration. I hope this helped. :)

Pegi 12!
Well, it says some swear words, like the b word, you can kiss other characters, and you interact with criminals.
But not like drugs gangs, like fictional criminals.
It has mild sex[ i dont know what all of the 16 poo is all about] and some mild language. When you go to the toilet, it blurrs it out, and when you go in the shower, you cant see them and they are in swimming costumes before they change in a blink of an eye.
Also, when you are the superhero, you can fight criminals but it isn't graphic violence, just comic.
This is based on the sims 2 on ds where you run the hotel

Great!
A lot of parents are concerned on how the adults woohoo in the bed and try for baby, but honestly I played this when I was 10 and it flew past me. Your kids are going to wonder how babies are made and create their own kind of theories, and they're going to assume that theory takes place but under the covers. I thought people kissed to make babies (lol) and thought they just kissed under there and that was it. Only the kids with the lucky guess will figure out what they're really doing and that chance is very low. Otherwise, good game in all, really like it!

More inappropriate than the sequel, but way better!
This game is better than the sims 3, but it is not open world. Some of the premade characters are terrible role models, such as Don Lothario, a sim who is in love with almost 5 women at the same time, or Daniel Pleasant, who is cheating on his wife with a maid. The game has a lot more features than the third one, such as aspirations and interests, but there is no trait system. The woohoo (Sex), is more intense, with cutscenes displaying the sims getting in bed. Sims can shove, slap, and fistfight with each other, and there are two premade sisters who always hit each other. The game lets you buy a bar for sims, and they can get killed in various ways, such as burning, getting electrocuted, or starving. The deaths are not too graphic and some are humorous, such as getting eaten by flies or crushed by a satellite.
