Prepare for a night of fun!
I have been a fan of the Sims series for years now, and I can honestly say this game does not dissapoint. I have wanted to visit other Sim Lots since the first Sims graced my computer screen, and the Sims' Apartment Life does not dissapoint. Although you are not able to visit other Sims houses (wait for Sims 3!) you are able to visit your neighbors and wreck havoc there!!

My computer is dead, possibly because of this product
I installed Apartment Life and immediately began noticing problems with my Sims game. Eventually, my entire operating system crashed. I didn't connect that event to the Apartment Life installation until I installed the expansion pack a second time and watched as, again, my operating system crashed--this time irreparably. I'm currently working to restore my operating system, and, as I believe that Apartment Life contributed to the damage to begin with, I won't be purchasing any more games from EA. I loved the Sims, but my PC isn't worth it.

Moderately entertaining for young teens
Apartment Life is the first Sims 2 expansion pack purchased for my pre-teen and teenage children. Word-of-mouth led to high expectations and, although they find it entertaining, both kids concluded that a greater variety of choices in regards to apartment layout would have made the game more compelling. Apartment Life was most appreciated for the high-quality expansion of options for changing the appearance of the characters. My son, who enjoyed the game more than his older sister did, added a code which allowed for the manipulation the apartment's structural layout. As a parent, I appreciate the lack of violence, and understand that the game does allow for the creation of "adult" situations.

SecuRom Scam
I have bought every single Sims to date (back till the origninal sims) but I will NOT buy this one. I will not buy from EA until they remove manditory SecuRom downloads with their games. SecuRom will slow down your system and cause problems with other games, NOT just Sims. It is very comparable to Malware, and once it gets on your system dont expect to remove it unless you are very proficent with computers.

A class action suit against EA has been filed for SecuRom issues.
