| 204 of 204 people found the following review helpful  Fun new addition to the growing Sims 2 library, By = Fun: This review is from: The Sims 2: Open for Business Expansion Pack (CD-ROM) Before the Sims 2: Open for Business, Sims owners could be in control of every aspect of their sim's life, save for one: work. They would make relationships, gain skill points, go to college, even become vampires, but for a few hours every day they would dissappear from view, leaving a hole in the day for the game's players. Well, that's not the case anymore. With Open for Business, you can now govern their economic ambitions, too. What it becomes is a fun, if more challening than expected, mini-game that tests the micromanagement skills of Sims players.You can open up any number of business types: from bakeries to furniture stores to salons. You can even charge sims to just come over and hang out at your place if you want to. The flexibility is there for you to sell almost anything (because that's essentially what it all comes down to); I personally found it easiest and most profitable to sell televisions and artwork (somtimes in the same store), but you can do...

It's great to be able to easily choose the formal wear when our sims get married, I was getting really bored with that default wedding dress. As a result I've downloaded many beautiful wedding dresses from the fansites. And finally we're able to change appearance for the toddlers without needing a hacked mirror. Yay! Thanks Maxis. Also with this expansion we now get a twins cheat AND a food to increase the chance of twins. Maybe now there will be a slow down to the influx of all the twins threads on the BBS. Maybe not, but a girl can hope can't she?The businesses are really neat in some ways but I'm not so much into the tycoon thing. It's very challenging and sometimes it seems frustrating to let your sim have a social life outside of their business. It is fun though. It's a shame about the bugs emerging. They're so bad that they could potentially toast neighborhoods that gamers have worked so hard...

Open for Business adds a number of new things to a game that already has loads of replayability and variety.Pros: -New Items -Ability to run a home business (despite the negatives below, I do have to give the sims team kudos for adding this ability). -Ability to buy real estate and own community businesses. -Ability to hire townies -robots Cons: -Bugs! What does it take to get some clean, well tested software these days?! -Running a Sims business is quite challenging. I play pc games as a way of resting and relaxing from a hard day's work. Running a sim business in Sims 2 at times feels more like work than play especially once the business starts having loads of customers coming in. -The number of townies... Read more |
