 Sims 2 goes out with a bang November 11, 2008

The "unofficial" word is that Apartment Life will be the final expansion pack for the Sims 2 line. I don't really know if that's true, but if so Apartment Life closes the series on an up note.
Along with Seasons and Nightlife, Apartment Life is one of my favorite expansions. I really like the apartment feature, it's been long overdue. It's so much easier now to start off a sim newly graduated from University by having them live in an apartment. It's so much easier to get them suitable living quarters.
I am so glad we finally have spiral stairs and playground equipment. They were both very much needed 4+ expansions ago.
The social townies can be kind of annoying in a way, but the reputation feature is nice. One thing I don't like is how the new social greetings will mess up the greetings from locals at the Bon Voyage vacation neighborhoods. It's very rare now for my locals to do their normal greetings, instead they do the new social ones and my vacationing sims have a harder time of meeting the "learn local greeting" want without cheating on my part. But it's a minor frustration.
Witches are pretty interesting. I like the neutral spells but some of the evil and good witch spells are kind of blah. Plus, I'm really not into the skin overlays with the evil and good witches. I don't like the green or sparkly skin so I use a mod to stop it. But overall I do like the witches and am glad we have them. They're the only paranormal creature in the Sims 2 line I've had more than a passing interest in.
Apartment Life is a great EP and given the choice I'd gladly buy it again. I think it will keep my creativity & gameplay with Sims 2 going for a very long time.
 Great EP November 2, 2008

This is a fun game. You can only play 1 family at a time but you can work on relationships a lot faster. Not sure if this is gonna be the last ep until sims 3 comes out, if their is, I'll buy it too.
Fun.. Fun Fun.. October 29, 2008

How to describe the new add-on to the endless Sims 2 series in one sentence? Rental housing at its best.
Despite being the eighth expansion pack for The Sims 2, Apartment Life has really interesting features. You will love the beautiful architecture and you will be surprised at how much fun, magic can bring into the normal lives of the ordinary sims. This is more entertaining than Free Time and the apartment roommate element spices it up a touch. That's the farewell gift from the team - next expansion is inevitably expected somewhere in 2009, but for "The Sims 3."
