No worries. You'd think that they would have mentioned it in other places as well, but I think they just wanted to put it there so that they could end the speculation that was going like crazy on their BBS.

Just a little over two weeks until this finally gets released. I've been reading alot of info about it on the Sims 2 website and all I can say is, the more I read, the more I want it. I've got it pre-ordered from EB Games. New features include the Pleasure Seeker Aspiration, where your Sims just want to go out and have fun, the ability to participate in group activities(timed events similar to parties that give you bonuses for having alot of fun), the ability to "scan" the room for other Sims that your Sim finds attractive, Vampires(you can't create a Vampire Sim, but you can go out and find the Master Vampires in the city and get turned if you choose, and CARS!!! If you pre-order, you will get a code for a free downloadable specialty car design. There are also a bunch of new items ranging from new clothing to karaoke machine to poker tables and even DJ Turntables. I'm really looking forward to this expansion as it promises to be alot better than the University expansion.

The exchange on www.thesims2.ea.com/ actually has a bunch of Disney stuff on it. Just choose if you want Sims or Lots and then type Disney. There are a couple of Cinderella Castles and Haunted Mansions. If you look at Sims, they have clothing featuring Disney characters and people's interpretations of characters from animated films.

Edit: And anyone looking to get the strategy guide for Nightlife can download it from www.primagames.com/ for $9.99 instead of paying $19.99 plus tax at the stores for it.

Just be careful with the mods from MTS2. Sometimes it makes new EPs a bit... glitchy. I know I have a few, but I'm debating keeping them.

I'm enjoying my copy of it. I like the new things with having vampires. They take a little getting used to if you get to play as one, but they are pretty fun. I really like the new interactions and the dating/outing gameplay. I think its worth it.

Edit: There's an insert in the case for Nightlife that indicates the next EP is called "Open For Business" and will allow Sims to own their own businesses. They can have a shop or restaurant or whatnot at a community lot, or they can make crafts at home and sell them online. It looks like it might be interesting. I'll have to see what else they add to it to make it worthwhile.

I'm getting my copy tomorrow. Can't wait :D

I heard about the buisness expansion a few days ago and must admit I wasn't all that excited (I really wanted pets to be included in the next one :( ) . Maybe something a little more exotic. But I imagine the Maxis people won't dissappoint us considering everything they've come up with so far.

I just picked up a copy today, im enjoying it so far, and yeah I saw in the case somthin about the next expansion.. which is in the works, I want to see more likely a theme park edition n such n watch them ride the rides, but i know that would take alot of work and time for them to make one, the business one sounds cool, would be cool if they had like a car sales lot to buy cars and put them in your garage n so on.
