Anybody play X-Box Sims?

[meyer]

So today I trotted off to the video store to get a game for my roommate and I to play (being as she's feeling sickly). I have long been a fan of the Sims, and I saw the X-Box version. "Sweet!" I thought - it says on the box there is even a two player version! Perfect.

The problem is that now, I have the game home, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to play two player. Anybody got some advice?

It has to be unlocked..

Two Player Unlock

- At the start up screen press on R1, R2, L1, L2 at the same time to bring up the cheat menu.
- Type in MIDAS and press done.
- Start up ''Get A Life'' mode
- Get into the Hot Tub with the girl
- Press Start
- Choose Quit
- Choose Just Quit
- You have unlocked Two-Player

Excellent, thanks Reeder! I just have one more question - is "The Museum" - where you run around and ask people for money - the only two player option?

Why - if it advertises two-player on the box - would you have to go through such a complicated sequence to activate it?

My thoughts exactly.

Presumably you have to complete the game in single player to "unlock" 2-player mode. Lots of games let you have, say, infinite rocket ammo, or a really fast car or whatnot once you finish the whole game.

Normally it's done with more trivial features than 2-player though.
