One of the better expansions September 10, 2008
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
As opposed to the waste-of-money, product-placement-up-the-arse "Stuff Packs", most of the Sims 2 Expansion Packs actually add useful functionality and gameplay elements to an already decent game, and this is one of the best ones. If I had to recommend just one expansion, it would probably be this one (or Seasons), as it adds exciting and new, yet realistic, gameplay.
Apartment living is easy to get into. Either pick one of the premade families in the new neighbourhood, Belladonna Cove, or make your own Sims and move them into apartments. If you're really adventurous you can build your own apartment buildings, but this is very difficult due to the complexity needed in apartments, and you have to use a cheat to zone the apartment correctly (I think the official website has a tutorial). Apartment building is only recommended for experienced builders.
I had no problems installing or running this. One tiny complaint is the load time on game startup; if you have all the expansions or lots of custom content, or both, be prepared to stare at a blank screen for 10+ minutes while the game starts up. I run the Sims 2 in a window for this exact reason - I can watch a video or browse the internet or something while the game is loading.
Overall I recommend this expansion pack. If you only have the base Sims 2 and want to add that little bit extra before the release of Sims 3, get this pack. It's the last pack that will come out and it adds (in my opinion) the most varied and useful gameplay elements. If you have all the previous packs, then why are you reading this review? You're going to buy it anyway :-)
Oh, and one final quibble: It's not an apartment. It's a FLAT. Bloody Americanisation strikes again.
Sims 2 AL is a reli good game :D August 29, 2008

I reli like this game bought it today and have been playing it non stop..I like the fact that you dont have to spend alot of ur simoloens on ur first purchase of a home (if u dnt want to use the cheats lol) as the price range of flats can begin from about 700 simoleons into the thousands.
The adults get a good range of clothing and theres loads to pick from..not loads on the hairstyles though but there are some Ace new ones.
Theres loads of new stuff and i'm loving the playground for the children it's too cool and the fact that your sims can become witches :D:D lol
Overall the game is reli good and u'll enjoy playing it theres so many new things on this expansion game it'll be hard to write it all in words lol but i do recommend buying it :D:D
Apartment life September 13, 2008

I Think this is the best expansion pack yet,I love playing on the Sims and this really expanded the level of play!
The only downside is that it really slowes down the loading time even in the simplest of tasks inclueding make a family
but a few more min waiting is nothing compared to how mutch fun the game is
This game is definatly worth buying
School's out September 4, 2008

This is a great addition to the Sims 2, but has anyone noticed that if you have children living in the apartment blocks the school bus doesn't come for them? I also can't seem to be able to build my own apartment blocks which is a bit disappointing. Anyone know any different?
 Rubbish- the computer won't recognise it. September 2, 2008
5 out of 23 found this review helpful
Despite having a dvd drive on my computer, and all the other previous expansions and stuff packs working fine, this is not recognised by my computer at all and refuses to load etc.
I gather that this is not a unique problem, looking at some message boards so please be careful when buying. It's been a complete waste of money.
