To make up for it, I'll buy you a copy of the Sims 2.
How does that sound?

All your questions are answered at last.

Question: Why does a battleship in Civ2 take years (in game time) to go around the world?

Answer: The sailors take so much time going to the bathroom, eating breakfast, etc, they barely have time to run the ship...

This is true... don't remember which XPack though...

In Sims2 it should be possible to do it in all beds... but adults only, yo can't get teens to do it

I think it was Hot Date that feature came. It all goes on under the quilt, though... But with cheats...

Nothing interesting to see with cheats though(just some non-existant legs and so on IIRC. Not designed to be seen).

Guilty as charged. I much preferred Simcity 2 for its scenarios (you have 10 years to make dullsville a happy town!) than Simcity 4 with its multi-regional superscape with absolutely no objectives.

The FAQ says doors and windows can be placed on diagonals, but they are still working on furniture.

I believe hell freezes over, before Maxis offers all options from the expansion packs in the first release...

And here I just got The Sims for my comp... it was free through a promotion.

I'm already wanting cheats so I can build the house I want easier and faster and then move on and do something else.

What cheats you must use, depends on whether you have only the original, or one of the XPs.

You're welcome. I recommend you to buy some of the XPs. The first (few ) are the best, of course.
