GameInformer.com has posted a new preview from The Sims 2. They've also visited the Hot Summer Nights event last week, and their thoughts about the game are very positive. The preview starts with a bit about the neighborhoods. It's once again mentioned that the families in the neighborhoods all have their own storyline and are somehow connected. The aspirations are also mentioned. The mood of your Sim will be defined not only by their motives (hunger, bladder, etc.), but also by how well they do in the aspiration track. News is that Maxis has worked with a massive number of 19,000 different skins so far, but the actual number that will ship with the game is still unknown. The conclusion is that it's a big game and they've only shown the tip of the iceberg at the Hot Summer Nights event. Read the complete preview for more.
