''The Sims 2'' heralds sweeping changes from the original. The {{WP|Isometric graphics in video games and pixel art|isometric view}} of ''The Sims'' is replaced by a full 3D environment. [[Sim]]s experience life stages ([[baby]], [[toddler]], [[child]], [[teen]], [[young adult]]{{vgversion|TS2:U}}, [[adult]], and [[elder]]) which have them age from birth to [[death]], and their [[genetics]] can be passed on to their children. Unlike the original ''The Sims'', where the player can spend forever raising a Sim's skills, the aging system in ''The Sims 2'' imposes a time limit on this before the Sims die. Sims' personalities are given an overhaul, with each Sim having an [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]], [[wants]], and [[fears]].

Babies, toddlers, children, teens, and adults can be advanced to their next [[Life stages|life stage]] at any time during the 24 Sim hours before they will grow up automatically. For babies, this requires using the [[birthday cake]]. Toddlers, children, teens, and adults can use the "Grow Up" self-interaction. If the ''University'' expansion pack is installed, teens have the option to go to [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]], where they will be [[young adult]]s for approximately 24 days.

* In some countries where this was the first ''[[The Sims (series)|The Sims]]'' game released, it was simply called ''The Sims''.
* In the Thai regional version of the game, Sims have underwear permanently painted on and are never nude. This was done due to Thai regulations.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoeSt1hCNN4</ref>
* The Sims 2 runs on Windows Vista and 7 despite being unsupported, however there are some glitches such as in some cases, a black rectangular shadow under sims. Later releases of the base game after ''The Sims 2: Open For Business'' support Windows Vista.
* ''The Sims 2: Freetime'' and ''The Sims 2: Apartment Life'' were never released on Mac for unknown reasons.
* ''The Sims 2'', its expansions, its stuff packs and its console versions are no longer able to be purchased in retail stores in most countries such as Australia due to physical copies being discontinued. It is also not available for purchase on Origin or Steam. However, copies can still be purchased at second-hand stores such as charity stores, pawnbrokers or any store that sells second-hand video games as well as being available to purchase on online shopping sites such as eBay, Amazon or Facebook Marketplace.
