'''The Sims 2 for Mobile''' is the mobile phone version for ''[[The Sims 2]]''. When the game starts the player chooses a name (although unable to make custom names), sign, and finally, clothing. The purpose of the game is to upgrade your [[Sim]]'s house, build up [[relationship]]s with other Sims and live in the life of luxury. This game was available for 2G and 3G phones when released in 2006, such as the popular Motorola RAZR. The game was discontinued following the release of The Sims 3. The game is no longer available from app stores such as Verizon's VCAST Get It Now and Nokia app stores, such as Bigpond and Telstra. This was also the first game to be released on mobile phone, seeing as The Sims 1 was not released on the mobile platform. The Sims 2 for Mobile is the first game not to feature any children, and is also the first game to only feature adults. Actions are extremely limited and even eating and showering is unable to be seen. There is a microwave, but you will not be able to prepare a meal. Instead, you will eat from the microwave. When eating and showering is happening, there will be a grey cloud, along with icons zooming in and out. For eating, it is food, and for showering, it is soap and a rubber duck. The game was considered to be set in Strangetown, as advertised, although Strangetown is a desert town and the layout is grass. Also, advertising says they can cheer up the residents, although the residents don't need to be cheered up.

==Sims==
 
Two editions of the game were released, The Sims 2 Connected Edition<ref>{{Wayback |url=http://thesims2.ea.com/about/mobile/index.php |title=The Connected Edition About Page |date= 20111201043247 }}</ref> and The Sims 2 Unconnected Edition<ref>{{Wayback |url=http://thesims2.ea.com/about/mobile/about_unconnected.php/ |title=The Unconnected Edition About Page |date= 20120909010239 }}</ref>. They differed both in gameplay and graphics, with the connected edition being more advanced and reminiscent of the PC version.
 
==Unconnected edition==
The unconnected edition was released on November 2005 for over 200 phones. The edition itself has different versions to specifically fit each phone’s hardware. They differ graphically and in some instances gameplay-wise as well.
 
===Description===

===Gameplay===
The game offers the Create-A-Sim function. In the high-end version, the player is able to choose their sim’s gender, color variation of their clothing, astrological sign and a name from a dozen of pre-defined names. The player is unable to choose hair, skin color or different clothing, In the low-end version, the player is able to choose gender and one of a dozen of pre-defined names. Color variation of clothing, astrological sign and skin color are tied to the names.
The main goals of the game are taking care of sim’s needs, improving their skills, socializing with other sims, going to work to earn money, and expanding their house. In order to get a job/get promoted, the player has to interact with other sims and earn skill points. The player can expand their house and buy new furniture with their earned simoleons. It is the first game to feature only adults. Due to hardware limitation, most actions don't have full animations and the sim is instead hidden behind a cloud decorated with icons that suggest what action is currently taking place, i.e. icons of plastic ducks when the sim is taking a shower.
 
===Sims===
There are six pre-made Sims in the game and they might visit your house at random times. The player may also call them, invite them over or just chat. The following Sims are in this game:
 
Line 31 ⟶ 55:
'''Penny''' - Disagrees with Money and Politics.
*Offers the job of a chef
*Love to hug, peck, flirt, and gossip about men.
 
'''John''' - Disagrees about Exercise and Money.
*Likes to gossip about Penny, Kitty, Lorna, and Ian
*Likes dirty jokes.
 
'''Kitty''' - Disagrees with Food, money, and Politics.
*Appears after you have bought the recreation room
*Offers the job of a personal trainer
*Likes to gossip about Ben, Penny, John, and Ian
*Likes clean jokes.
 
Line 50 ⟶ 74:
'''Ian''' - Disagrees with Food and Politics.
*Appears after you buy the party room and upgraded it with a bar and decks.
*Likes to gossip about Penny, John, and Kitty
*Likes hugs, pecks, and dirty jokes.
*Offers the guitarist career, which pays 700 simoleons a day.
 
Sims cannot age or have children, as in most mobile  [[The Sims]]  games. They can get married and have sleepovers though. Same sex relationships are also allowed in this game.
 
*NOTE* Once a  number of positive interactions are made, there will be no more reactions. While you can still interact, no negative or positive reaction will be made. If the game is not played for a while, one or two positive or negative reactions will be made, but that is quite rare. Pick the right conversation topics, or else friendships or love will be ruined and are extremely difficult to get back.
 
===Objects and Layoutslayouts===
The game first starts out with 3 rooms. A kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The bathroom contains a shower, a sink, and a toilet. The kitchen has a table and a chair, a microwave, a fridge, and a few tabletops.No meals can be prepared from the microwave. The bedroom contains a TV, a mirror and a bed. Sims can buy objects by calling the Sim Emporium via the mobile phone. Although they can buy objects, they cannot sell them afterwardsafterward.
 
Sims can also upgrade their home by using their mobile phone. Then they can get the following:
