<p>First off, I paid for all of my various versions of Sims 2.  I know it sounds bitchy, but why in the world would I give it to you for free?</p>
<p>Also, it would be illegal for me to redistribute my copy of Sims 2 to you.  I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re a really cool person and you help old people across the street and stuff but I&#8217;m not risking a fine or jail time for anyone.</p>
<p>Lastly, have you checked out the price of Sims 2 lately?</p>
<p>Let me back up.</p>
<p>You can get <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Foffer-listing%2FB000BAVN14%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dvideogames%26qid%3D1210888079%26sr%3D1-3&amp;tag=taslikcra-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325"> Sims</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=taslikcra-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important" border="0" height="1" width="1" /> game for $31.98 on Amazon.com.  Every stinkin&#8217; one of them.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re aching for Sims 2 then you can get <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FSims-Deluxe-Nightlife-Expansion%2Fdp%2FB000O5DY0E%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dvideogames%26qid%3D1210888303%26sr%3D1-2&amp;tag=taslikcra-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">The Sims 2 Deluxe</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=taslikcra-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important" border="0" height="1" width="1" /> &#8211; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FElectronic-Arts-EA9965814-The-Sims%2Fdp%2FB00009WNZA%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dvideogames%26qid%3D1210888495%26sr%3D1-6&amp;tag=taslikcra-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Sims 2 </a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=taslikcra-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important" border="0" height="1" width="1" /> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FSims-Nightlife-Expansion-Pack%2Fdp%2FB0009E3U4K%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dvideogames%26qid%3D1210888561%26sr%3D1-1&amp;tag=taslikcra-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Nightlife</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=taslikcra-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important" border="0" height="1" width="1" /> &#8211; from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Foffer-listing%2FB000O5DY0E%3Fie%3DUTF8%26qid%3D1210888303%26sr%3D1-2&amp;tag=taslikcra-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">18.98</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=taslikcra-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important" border="0" height="1" width="1" />.</p>
<p>Also, Maxis just released <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FThe-Sims-2-Double-Deluxe%2Fdp%2FB001444IN6%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dvideogames%26qid%3D1210888327%26sr%3D1-24&amp;tag=taslikcra-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Double Deluxe</a> which gives you The Sims 2, Nightlife and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FThe-Sims-2-Celebration-Stuff%2Fdp%2FB000N24EO8%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dvideogames%26qid%3D1210888774%26sr%3D1-1&amp;tag=taslikcra-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Celebration Stuff</a> all starting at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Foffer-listing%2FB001444IN6%3Fie%3DUTF8%26qid%3D1210888327%26sr%3D1-24&amp;tag=taslikcra-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">30.98</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=taslikcra-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important" border="0" height="1" width="1" />.  [Prices include shipping.]</p>
<p>So, while I understand that for some of you guys 18.98 might seem like a lot of money, think of how quickly you could save up the cash.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s four Venti White Mochas at Starbucks.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s about four Quarter Pounders w/cheese and fries from McDonald&#8217;s.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s&#8230;well, you get the idea.</p>
<p>Save your money.  Buy the game and start enjoying one of the most popular computer games created.  I promise you won&#8217;t be sorry.  And if you find a site where I can play Sims 2 online for free then let me know.  <img src='http://www.everyjoe.com/simsgamer/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
