Perhaps the most popular life simulation game to date, the Sims 2 by Electronic Arts, Inc. boasts a reputation as one of the most significant video games to find mass appeal with both girl and boy gamers alike.

Based on the popular summer course, in Game Modding: The Sims 2 campers learn "exporting" to create new Sims, "re-coloring" to change textures of objects in the Sims universe, and image and file editing to -- literally -- put themselves in the game! Imagine the look on friends' faces as they see your own Sim character walking around in the very shirt your wearing that day when you reveal your creation to them!
