The Sims 2: Nightlife

Nightlife is a dream come true for the player who's less worried about building a dream home and more interested in Sim interactions. With over 100 new objects and a completely new terrain (not to mention the dating aspects), players who are more fascinated by another life than another home will find this expansion a must-have. Fortunately, I'm a player that would rather have his Sim get into all kinds of sticky social problems than try to figure out how many pixels away from the lamp the sofa should be.

I was content with just building my career and expanding my house to put more fancy things in it so the whole dating and nightlife aspect did not appeal to me as much. But for those yearning to get out of the house and meet some new Sims, Sims 2: Nightlife is definitely worth your own hard earned Simoleons. And even though the expansion is geared toward being more social, both parties will have plenty to do until the next expansion arrives.

Nightlife doesn't necessarily add an integral new dimension to the game, but it brings enough fun and substance to the franchise that hardcore Sims fans won't want to miss it.
