Actually, it's not impossible to be able to play games that have pretty high requirements with a notebook. However, you'd have to spend more for a gaming notebook than you do for a gaming desktop. I recently tried out a first-person shooter demo, just to see how it would do on my notebook. Obviously, playing it on my maximum resolution (which is WSXGA+, or 1680x1050) wouldn't play all that great, but a step or two below would be more than sufficient. To say that one shouldn't game on a notebook (or specifically The Sims 2), it depends on one's computer, to be honest. I can't say anything about The Sims 2, though.
