the sims 2 pets expansion pack

Advantages: great new features
Disadvantages: i prefer holiday pack more

...The product I am reviewing is "the Sims 2 pet's expansion" About a year ago I loved playing on the Sims 2 games. I paid £14.99 for this game from play.com Id purchased : The Sims 2 University, The Sims 2 Nightlife, The Sims 2 Open For Business, The Sims 2 Family Fun Stuff Pack, The Sims 2 Seasons ,The Sims 2 Bon Voyage and of course last but not least the Sims 2 pets . The thing that appealed to me the most about purchasing the expansion and stuff packs were the fact they offered great new furniture, hair styles, clothes, dialect, houses, cars and many other things my Sims could experiment. Buying the expansion packs made playing on the Sims 2 so much more entertaining, when you buy a game and you play it religiously after so long you get bored of it but with the large choice of expansion and stuff packs available you always had...

The must have sims 2 pack!

Advantages: downtown area, new interaction and characters
Disadvantages: none

...When I bought my own copy of the Sims 2 game I knew I wanted this expansion pack with it, so I bought the new Sims 2 deluxe pack which includes both games on one DVD rom disc. The reason I wanted this one so much is that I think it's important to own it if you want to get full enjoyment out of the Sims 2 as it has so much to offer on it. It was originally released in September 2005, around a year after the Sims 2 was released. It's a big expansion pack which adds a whole new area, Downtown, to the game as well as a whole load of other features and new characters. Downtown is basically a place your sims can visit once you have this expansion pack. Here they can dine out, visit sculpture parks, go to night clubs and shops as well as meet other sims that come on this expansion pack. If you want sims to go out and make friends, and even...

Review of The Sims 2: Nightlife Expansion Pack (PC)

A magical expansion pack for The Sims.

Advantages: Adds a lot of new gameplay.
Disadvantages: None really, unless you don't like The Sims.

...~~~*~~~ Sims Makin' Magic Expansion Pack ~~~*~~~ I have been playing The Sims for years and I have never used one of the many expansion packs until just before Christmas. I was on Amazon trying to spend some of those lovely Dooyoo Miles and I stumbled across the Makin' Magic expansion. (I ended up spending the Dooyoo Miles on something else though as this was SO cheap on the marketplace side of Amazon). ~~~*~~~ The Sims? ~~~*~~~ The Sims is a life simulation game made by Maxis. I am not going to write a whole load of stuff about the Sims but if you have never heard of it before look for some reviews of it or check out Wikipedia for loads of really useful information. As previously mention Makin' Magic is an Expansion Pack for the original Sims game. You need to have a version of the original game installed on your PC before...

Review of The Sims: Makin' Magic Expansion Pack (PC)

A sims expansion pack

Advantages: Adds more gameplay
Disadvantages: Takes longer to load pages

...Fantastic game! With the sims 2 University there over 125+ new items. There is now a new stage of life, a young adult. To become this your teens will have to go to college and while they are working through their semesters, your sims back at home will not age (unless of course you play them). One of the awards sims can now get is a Cow Plant. This cow plant will eat your sims by luring them with a piece of cake. Once a sim has been eaten, other sims will now have the chance to drink the milk and reduce their age. So when your sims get to college and get into their new dorms, find their own room, then study a bit and make friends, they obviously want to go out and get fresh air, instead of seeing the same four walls all the time. So when they finally get out what can they do? They can go shopping for clothes, go to the cafe a earn...

A Sim's Best Friend

Advantages: Good idea, lots of new added stuff
Disadvantages: couldn't breed, wasn't fussed with pets

...My latest addition to the Sims 2 game is the Pets expansion pack. I have a few expansion packs already, reviews will be written, and I am extremely pleased with them. I was excited about getting the Pets expansion but not overly fussed like the other expansions. It didn't seem a necessity. ***The Expansion*** This expasion pack allows your Sims to add pets to their family. There is no limit to the amount of pets that you have and you can send them off to work and even breed them! There are additional features with the expansion pack such as furniture and toys for your pets but the pack also adds new clothes and hair options to help you create your Sim to your liking. ***Creating a Pet*** Creating a pet is the same as creating a Sim. A pet doesn't necessarily have to be created with a family but to play them they do needed to be...

The Sims 2 Comes Up Trumps Again

Advantages: Adds a new dimension to the original platform game
Disadvantages: Very time consuming to achieve results

...So you bought The Sims 2, and though you were hooked for a while, you began to lose interest a bit and released that you do actually have a life of your own to run, instead of spending all your time ensuring the happiness of your Sims families. Time passes by, and you enjoy the benefits of a social life, and then... like a bat out of hell, The Sims 2 University expansion pack bursts on to the scene. "Oh no!" I hear you cry! Just as you had reajusted your skin to the presence of daylight, something new in the world of the The Sims 2 has come to grab you back and stick you to your computer chair until the early hours. The Sims 2 University expansion pack offers another dimension for gamers who already own the platform game, The Sims 2. Now there is the opportunity to go to college/university, and therefore another life stage in...

Sims 2 Free Time

Advantages: Excellent add on role playing game. Very addictive
Disadvantages: NONE

...I am a huge fan of the Sims 2 and have all the expansion packs and stuff packs which have been released. Sims 2 Freetime by far is one of my favourite expansion packs. Your sims now have 10 hobbies which they can take part in : *Arts and Crafts *Cuisine *Film and literature *Fitness *Games *Musica & Dance *Nature *Science *Sports *Tinkering Each sims hobby is choosen for them by the computer once you have created your sim and the sim has to take part in "their" hobby before you know which is their particular one. Once you have established your sims hobby you then start to build enthusiasm for it by taking part in the activities they enjoy. Each Sim is given a bug box in their Inventory which they can display in their homes and collect beetles, spiders and butterflies which all count towards the Nature enthusiasm...

Review of The Sims 2: Freetime Expansion Pack (PC)

Another great expansion pack

Advantages: zombies! new life stage and items, new interactions
Disadvantages: none

...Although I don't own this expansion pack for my sims 2 game, I have played it a lot on my friends computer. This is a big expansion pack that adds a whole new neighbourhood, the college neighbourhood to the the game. On the sims 2 deluxe there is an icon for this neighbourhood although it doesn't load unless you have this expansion pack. The main thing this pack allows sims to do is go to college - teenage sims can go to college where they become young adults, a new stage of life introduced to the game with this pack. This life stage only happens to sims going to college though, other sims just become adults. Once you send a teenager to college, you can go to the college neighbourhood to control them where they progress through 4 years of study. It's a good way to make sims from different families get to know each other as you can...

Review of The Sims 2: University Expansion Pack (PC)

Another brilliant expansion pack from Maxis!

Advantages: Offers a pretty realistic approach to university
Disadvantages: Stops the other generations and time doesn't follow properly

...As with all expansion packs, you get your basic extras on top of what you already have. So, with the university expansion, not only do your sims get the university experience, but you get a whole host of new items, such as new furniture, outfits and places to go. The brilliance of this expansion is its close reality to the real life university experience. Your sim gets to choose its Major, and works on their assignments and goes to lectures in order to get the best mark possible. When you decide that your sim is ready to go to university, there are a number of things you can do. During their time at home, they may have developed a special skill in a certain area, e.g. they may have 8 on their Creativity or Charisma. If you make a phone call before you leave for college, then you may be in for a chance of getting a scholarship...

Go on holiday with your sims

Advantages: Its great fun to play and makes your sims happier.
Disadvantages: Long loading times and takes up 1.5GB of hard drive Space

...The Sims 2 Bon Voyage is another great expansion pack in the Sims series. The expansion pack allows you to take your sims on holiday to enjoy the local sites and cuisine. Once you have saved up the money and got a break from work, you be able to go on holiday to one of three pre built destinations or one that you have built yourself. The earlier you book, the cheaper it is. But the costs dont stop there, to really enjoy the holiday your sims will need to book into a holiday, pay for food and site seeing trips as well as the little extras. Such as massages, clothes and souvenirs. The three pre built destinations are in different locations; Japan, the mountain and on the Beach. Takemizy village is in Japan, here you can walk around the Zen gardens, drink tea or play at the mah-jong table. Three lakes is set in the mountains, here...
