Sims/Sims2 questions

[pegasus1]

My daughter (8 years old) wants to get the Sims game(s) but im unsure whether to get the original version or the newer one.
It will be running on an XPM2500 runnin at 2.4 with a heavily OCed 9800Pro and 1 gig in duel channel at 1280x1024.
Two questions really.
1 Which is the better game for somebody of this age
2 If Sims2 then how will it run on this system.

Cheers

I guess yeah, I must admit I've not played the orignal game in many years now so I'm probably forgetting what it was really like. Also the game is rated as 'Teen' on the official web site so maybe its not really suitable for an 8 year old... especially some of the content Hot Date added

There is 2 different editions of Sims1 delux as it turns out, one with a 15 rating and one with a 7+ rating.

Just to hijack the thread a bit, but does anyone know how to make alien babies in sims 2, i'm sure its easy but my gf swears she can't work it out

Oi you, get orf my thread
So im still no clearer, she has a long attention span (being female) so the game doesnt have to be console oriantated if you get me.
