I like playing all the Sims 2 games that I've tried, and this is no different. It's enjoyable. There are a few frustrations, but they're easy to work around, and deal more with mobility than anything else... such as the fact that the puppies can't go up and down stairs to get out of the house, and your Sims will keep setting the pup down instead of carrying him or her with. It all works out in the end, though.
