The Sims 2: Apartment Life

Sims suck....boaring & pointless. Sims 2 also sucks, however I bought it 4 my fiance & she installed it. This has been the third computer she has installed it on & it just keeps screwing up her other sims 2 packs aswell as Sims 2 itself. Just a poor buggy addon 2 a mind numbing, worthless, no fun game. Watching grass grow is more fun that this.

I have been a fan of the Sims series 4 years now, & I can honestly say this game does not dissapoint. I have wanted 2 visit other Sim Lots since the first Sims graced my computer screen, & the Sims' Apartment Life does not dissapoint. Although you are not able 2 visit other Sims houses (wait 4 Sims 3!) you are able 2 visit your neighbors & wreck havoc there!!

I installed Apartment Life & immediately began noticing problems with my Sims game. Eventually, my entire operating system crashed. I didn't connect that event 2 the Apartment Life installation until I installed the expansion pack a second time & watched as, again, my operating system crashed--this time irreparably. I'm currently working 2 restore my operating system, and, as I believe that Apartment Life contributed 2 the damage 2 begin with, I won't be purchasing any more games from EA. I loved the Sims, but my PC isn't worth it.

Apartment Life is the first Sims 2 expansion pack purchased 4 my pre-teen & teenage children. Word-of-mouth led 2 high expectations and, although they find it entertaining, both kids concluded that a greater variety of choices in regards 2 apartment layout would have made the game more compelling. Apartment Life was most appreciated 4 the high-quality expansion of options 4 changing the appearance of the characters. My son, who enjoyed the game more than his older sister did, added a code which allowed 4 the manipulation the apartment's structural layout. As a parent, I appreciate the lack of violence, & understand that the game does allow 4 the creation of "adult" situations.

I have bought every single Sims 2 date (back till the origninal sims) but I will NOT buy this one. I will not buy from EA until they remove manditory SecuRom downloads with their games. SecuRom will slow down your system & cause problems with other games, NOT just Sims. It is very comparable 2 Malware, & once it gets on your system dont expect 2 remove it unless you are very proficent with computers.

A class action suit against EA has been filed 4 SecuRom issues.
