#5. The Sims 2: Pets

The Sims 2: Pets improves upon its console predecessors in every way imaginable. The formula is definitely getting old, though, so long time fans will have limited interest.

- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life
Those who are thrilled by the idea of playing a game that focuses on constantly dressing up a character in new clothing and hairstyles, or on managing relationships with many virtual friends by answering a virtual mobile phone, will be the ones who will likely get the most out of The Urbz.
#3. The Sims 2
- Release Data: Maxis/Electronic Arts, 2005
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life
Despite its deviation from the far superior PC version, The Sims 2 is still a fun game loaded with all the things we love about the series.
Die-hard fans will miss many of the features that have been omitted but with so many extras, options and new features this one will keep fans more than busy.
#2. The Sims
- Release Data: Edge of Reality/Electronic Arts, 2003
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life
The PS2 version of The Sims does a great job of revisiting the original premise and gameplay of one of the most successful games ever.
With its new additions and enhancements, along with its faithful reproduction of The Sims‘ gameplay, make for a game that is as solid as The Sims has ever been.
#1. The Sims Bustin’ Out
- Release Data: Maxis/Electronic Arts, 2003

The Sims Bustin’ Out successfully expands on the previous game by letting your sims “bust out” of their own homes and freely visit their neighbors.
All things considered, The Sims Bustin’ Out makes solid improvements over its predecessor and stands on its own as a great version of The Sims for consoles.
