 Fun expansion October 27, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Welcome to apartment living. If you thought free time and seasons were different, now your sims can live in an apartment complete with noisy and nosey neighbors. I find the addition of 'apartments' to be both welcome and frustrating. Welcome in the sense that I would love the opportunity to see all of my sims living closer together. Frustrating because now your sims have neighbors who will complain if you have dirty dishes in your own house! Umm okay maxis.
Pro's
Some great new clothing for both women and guys this time. New trendy clothes are always great.
Witches: its about time. I like the idea of having my own Harry Potter clone in my neighborhood and witches/warlocks and magic just adds a whole new dimension of fun.
Reputation: also a sort of neat feature.
Con's
The hairs were not well done. They still look really blocky, and the addition of new hairs with just different colored barretts is not a new style. Its just the same hair, with a re-colored barrett.
Men still need better hair. There is a serious lack of items for men in the expansions. The fan community still does better in this area- EA: please consider making an 'all male' stuff pack.
Apartments are great, but- the neighbor complaints at time are out of control. Complaining about your dirty dishes? Complaining about noises? My one sim could not rest, because of a steady stream of neighbor complaints. One or two complaints is cute. Contstant complaints? Meh, not so much.
Inability to make apartments? I was sort of bummed I couldn't make my own apartment building. I so want a sims 2 penthouse with all the trimmings. Unfortunately, you can't make them yourself without a lot of hassle. Why Maxis?
Inability to customize structure of apartments. While I understand the concept, not being able to have a bathtub in my downstairs bathroom was just inconvenient. I wanted to be able to do a bit of remodelling. Sims should be able to remodel with the landlord's consent.

I have been a fan of The Sims since the original version came out all those years ago. I have bought every single expansion pack and stuff pack for The Sims and The Sims2....but low and behold I find out that EA has decided to install SecuRom/DRM on their games now.
I don't want that installed on my computer and didn't ask for it but to play the game you get it.
BUYER BEWARE>>>RESEARCH SecuROM BEFORE you purchase any games by EA!!!
