Really disappointed with this version of the sims. It feels like they didn't even try and it not only shows in the striped down base game but all the add ons as well. Updates constantly cause issues with the game even if you don't own the game pack the update was for. The resent update has left us players with our games crashing, not launching, getting stuck on eternal loading screens and more glitches then patches. It's to the point that you have to wait at least 2 months after the updates in hopes that the sims developers fixed all the problems they caused. The most resent goth style and castle add ons are a slap in the face to all the players who voted for them, since it's just recoloring of basic recycled junk that no one wants. All and all the sims 2 on ps2 had more to offer then this poor excuse of a game.
