SIMS!!!!!

I love the Sims 2 & all the Expansion Packs so much! The only thing that sucks about this new game was the process I went through to order it. First, the item arrived 4 days after it was released (Barnes and Noble has never been so late). Second, I preordered the item expecting the exclusive mascot and life-sized sculpture; it did not come, it wasn't included in the shipping notification as your web order form assured me that it would be, and after talking on the phone with customer service, I learned that I won't ever get it. I am so disappointed in Amazon.com. I could have pre ordered the game from EA or B&N and could have received the same exclusive offer, and believe that I wouldn't be disappointed. I will never pre-order from this company again and suggest buyers beware when they pre-order from Amazon also.

Best expansion pack so far!

This pack adds a lot to the game and gives you a new way to play. Maxis will have a very hard time topping this expansion!
#1 Open for business
#2 Nightlife
#3 University
#4 Pets

OFB is the best one out of all seven!

after reading all the reviews online, i bought... every expansion pack for the Sims 2 (over the course of several months)I have to say, this is the best one in the whole series! its kinda challenging, but once you start to get rank your business grows and its sooooo much fun and worth the effor. If you dont feel like going to your business one day, just don't go. I would suggest locking your front door (except when you invite friends over and then making a second floor or seperate building for a home business because you will be very aggravated with the loading times if you have a off site community lot. Also, if you two members of the family, your shop can stary open 24/7 if you have then take shifts becuase the downside is that your sims needs decay very quickly (especially hunger, energy, and hygiene) so they will have to leave an offsite business lot after a couple hours. The best addition, is the talent badges, which are more fun to gain than job skill points.

New Additions include-
*makeover chairs -open a salon!
*talent badges (stock shelfsefficiantly or craft objects like Servo)
*also new roofs, awnings and elevators (woo-hoo able of course)

Its jusst so rich and deep and sooo much fun and because you can seel virtually anything, you never get tired of it!
the only downside is that your sims life, unless you run a family business, will be taken over by running a store. but thats the price to pay for the best expansion pack of the sims 2 series!

(lets face it, seasons didnt really add anything except snow. I know thats oversimplifying it, but come on, its not that great.)

the sims 2 open for bisness is grest

I like how the game lets you express your own creativity, and it keeps me entertained for hours.

I think the game is good but it is kinda hard. i am 12 so like ya. it is really hard own a bussiness and still keep all your hunger and healthy and all the stuff like that. also all your staff keeps quiting and so you can't really run a business. so i would buy the game but u have to be really good at it!

My Expierence Of The Sims 2 Open For Business

I like this game in thesims2.com there are videos all about the basics about the expansion packs,stuff packs and about the sims 2 running a home business is hard however because your sims do so much stuff that they could not manage it but if you save time for your sim to manage a home business you might as well exactly help your sim manage it do not leave your costumers alone because the stuff that they already bought they will drop the plastic bags with the stuff that they already bought it is just the same as running a busines at the community lot that the sim purchased promote only the people who really work hard also you might as well give them a break or let them stay home for the day restock the items also if your employees are just playing or not doing anything or not just taking it seriously you might as well fire them sometimes in the business perks you have to pick the one with more value and quality for the customers if you make discounts in your shop there might be a chance for more coustomers to come in your store you may like to also make your prices cheap also people like stores with cheap prices always help your coustomers and make sure you have enough employees make sure your in the right track of having employees and managing your business the best store is with the best profit remember follow the right track!

The installation of this game was very difficult. I even got my 14 year old to help me and we still have difficulty. Once you go through the complicated nightmare, my 14 year old daughter really enjoys game.

Good Game....

Good game for the Sims 2 series.
You make shops and sell things. It's fun.
You can make robots,toys, lemonade stands, and make home businesses.
