The Sims 2

I have been addicted to The Sims and then The Sims 2 for the longest time. I remember the weekend that the The Sims 2 was released, a friend of mine left his PC downloading the whole weekend.

So EBGames had a sale the other week, and I figure, well seeing as its cheap and I play a hell of a lot, why not go Legit, and grab a few expansions while I'm at it.





I am now the proud owner of The Sims 2 and the Nightlife, University & Open for Business expansions.

University left me wanting, the fact that you can only create young adults in the University town, and that you cannot create normal family ages in the University town... I wanted them to interact. I was disappointed that I couldn't move multiple family into large dorms, it has 16 rooms, why cant I put 16 sims in there.... And i wish I could actually go to classes with my sims. I wont say that I was suckered in by false advertisement, Its my own fault for thinking they would have all I wanted and not reading more info before buying. On an up note tho, the young adults are quite cool, as is the fact you can rent houses and choose your dorm door.

Nightlife I haven't had a chance to investigate as much, but so far I like it, I built a huge castle for my vampire family, and was impressed by the half walls, double storey doors and garage. Finally sims have cars! This is the biggest and coolest thing ever. I'm looking forward to building a bar.

Open for Business I have had even less chance of playing, I have noticed that I can purchase community lots, but that is about it. I look forward to investigating more.

One thing that does bother me tho, is having to make multiple townships, one for each expansion pack, It would be better if they were all on the same screen, I hate waiting to load.
