The Sims 2 is great. I don't have it installed at the moment, but it really is good. I can't believe that they were able to get so much into one game. Considering it took so many expansions for Sims to get it to actually have decent objects and other things.
In fact, the Revolutionary War was just that, a revolt.... (notice similarity Revolut / Revolt) Not really a "Civil War" but just the same, more or less, yes, it was.
