That's my dilemma Faith. On the one hand it sounds like an interesting addition to the game. On the other hand 6 months after it's released I won't be playing it any more. Grrrrrr

Not me. When TS2 came out , I dropped TS1 like a bad habit lol

Isn't it interesting that a lot of the things they are considering including are already available from other modders?

That's kind of par for the course. Which is why I don't waste money on stuff packs

Oh my god I am sooooo getting this!!!
Then I'll make my simself eat all of my roomates food and chuck her fairly expensive and hard to make stuff out the window and see how SHE likes it!
*collapses on floor in fit of evil giggles*

Seriously though I love that our simmies can have apartments, I've always wanted to know what would happen if I could torch a simmy apartment building!

Learn a new life skill: anger management

That made me laugh. XD Some of my Sims need that.

Meeting people of different social groups – bohemians, jocks, gearheads, techies, socialites

Wait, so they'd actually be able to recognize different groups of people? They wouldn't just be dressed differently?

All of the items sound neat. The vending machine in particular appeals to me.

Maybe the anger management will help with the furious state they get with other sims lol

Wow, it would be so cool if ownable helicopters were included in this EP! They probably wouldn't be much different from cars besides them taking up more space but I would still like it. Butlers and the ability to visit your apartment neighbors would be great too. Not to mention how awesome it would be to have breakdancing sims. Looks like this EP actually has a lot of potential! :D

Mehheh I've always wanted a proper urban setting for my game, the whole suburbian thing really isn't my thing but the game is so obviously made for it. I forsee most of my sims living in grungy little apartments

Cool! It's kinda hard to make a realistic "New York" without apartments, and now I'll be able too. They put some effort into FT,so I hope Apartment Life will be just as good. I'm totally getting, since I've already decided I DONT want TS3.

i havent even gotten ft yet with my gaming computer broke....so im not sure if i ready for yet another ep but there still time i also think the objects might be the best part based on what ive heard so far i never really wanted apartments but if i get it ill try it i hope its better than the dorm set up, i also wonder (could have been mentioned i only skimmed) if more than 1 family can becontrolled per apartment building like if there is a switch to so and so family button? since i assume they will fade out any apartments not under you rfamilies control to keep it from being so slow..i kinda hope so i d like the idea of having in several families that i can hope around to with out having to load up a new lot

They shoulda just included this in the sims 3 base. Most of the things listed are already in sims 2! neighbors, roommates, "adventure, fun, and drama", coffeeshops, visiting, etc. Ill probably need more info and pics to inspire me to buy it

Wow, even better than I imagined! Just from the tiny info we got is definitely enough to make me believe this will indeed be the best EP yet! I just bet it will be! Hurry up, fall 2008!

From the list Snooty Sims posted it appears that we'll be able to move about 4 families into an apartment building and that your family will be able to visit the neighbours. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to control any family and switch between them, otherwise I don't see the point in moving people into buildings only not to be able to control them.

I would assume that for computer performance purposes you wouldn't be able to see the other apartments when not playing (like in collage or hotels), only when you go for a visit (if that's (and hopefully it is) in the game). I would also asume that when you click on the house - you would be able to select which household from the building you would play with, and/or you could switch to another apartment but then the household you left would become offlimits.

That sound gorgeous! I've always wanted a bit more urban living, too. I won't buy it, anyway :D

I wonder if that means your apartments can only house 4 Sims, and that's IT, or if you could have a tall building with four families plus townies or invisibles on other levels? :\ Seems kind of lackluster to only include four measly levels in every apartment...

Merry Go Round is a thing where you sit on things like wooden horses or other animals and it goes around in a circle. Hopscotch is a game, it probably would be placed on the ground like the old Sims 1 basketball court. Moneybars is something found on playgrounds. Baby bouncy chair is something you can sit a baby in and the baby can "bounce".

Overhead cabinets is probably like wall cabinets, perhaps for the kitchen?


Does that help?


I'm fairly excited about this expansion. I hope we get bunk beds. Murphy bed sounds good, especially for smaller apartments.


I also hope they consider banking options.


And I like the idea of asking a neighbor to babysit.

I hope the neighbor would be better than the insane nanny who cooks instead of playing with the children.

Gonna go lie down now with my headache though.

I, too, want bunk beds for more convenience so that siblings can share a room.
