The Sims 2 Apartment Life - News and Preview

On the official site , there is new and exciting information about the forthcoming expansion for The Sims 2. Firstly, it shows us the new packshot and there are four screenshots to look at, showing some of the features.

Part of the description of what this EP is going to be about is as follows.

- Move into the perfect apartment: a spacious loft, a cozy place for a young couple, or a multi-bedroom flat-share with friends.
- Mingle with Sims from all-new social groups: stylish socialites, artsy bohemians, sports jocks, gadget-collecting techies, or edgy gearheads.
- Take advantage of apartment life: form social networks to make new friends, advance their careers, or look for love.
- Build your Sim's new reputation meter: with a good reputation, your Sim can find the right friends to help them achieve their goals!
- Control multiple households: will you make your Sims live in happy harmony or comical conflict?


With an indication of different types of possible apartment, a list of NPC types to add to the mix, different social interactions, having "a rep to protect" and what sounds like running more than one household in the same building, can this really be what is possible?

Click here to get the latest information from the official site and see more screenshots in detail. The more news we get, the more we will let you know and when the expansion pack is released in under 3 months, we will be reviewing it in detail.



Update - Steve from The Sims Resource has been one of the privileged few to recently go to Electronic Arts to see at first hand what is coming up in Apartment Life (Ed: Lucky blighter!). His detailed preview covers a lot of things featuring a new neighborhood, an ownable helicopter, the return of the heart bed, the introduction of central heating and this EP's weirdness. Witchcraft.
