''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]].
