When the Sims 2 was first announced back when I still had trouble growing a moustache and my voice wavered tentatively between alto and baritone. I was very excited about the change, it was so revolutionary.

Let's see why:

1. Complete 3D graphics. Which frankly, still look superb all these years later.
