It's official! Electronic Arts announced plans to release "The Sims 2" early 2004. Industry insiders will get their first look at the game mid-May at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.
I was beginning to feel like this day would never come, and we would have expansion pack after expansion pack for the next 10 years. Now I can hardly wait for next year to roll around. After reading the press release, a few things caught my eye. Many new, promised features are included in the console versions.
