    Dating is another significant aspect of play added to The Sims 2, and it certainly throws in an element of challenge and intrigue to the base game. It's the coolest, Tim Laurence is the best produser!!!!!! Really game is amazing so as his ideas, there would never be our favourite sims if not him. We all shall thank him.

    This game is simply excellent! What can I say, I mean cars, dates and too many new clothes and objects to choose from. The cars mean that you can match your aspiration to your car. For example, a family sim gets the minivan and the sporty sim gets the sports porsche etc... One of the coolest parts is the new turn on and turn off option in Create-A-Sim.

One of the coolest parts is the new turn on and turn off option in Create-A-Sim. You can choose what attracts your sim to another and what repels them, fantastic! Definitely more worth while than Uni, purely because of the fact that Uni had to move you to another place entirely and lasted around 3 or less days of game play after waiting forever to play with it. Night Life on the other hand is something that you can use throughout the whole game, as long as you don't kill off all of the adult sims. Worth the money, certainly. 5 stars and 10 outta 10.

    I cant WAIT to get this expansion pack! And once I get it, I'll probably play it non-stop!!! The Sims 2 is the BEST game ever (if you have a fast computer) and I watched the Sims 2 Nightlife Expansion Pack Walkthrough, and it looks really interesting, because sims now have their own cars, can go on dates, have turn ons and turn offs, have a bigger variety of clothes, more interactionsI cant WAIT to get this expansion pack!

    I'm a fan of the sims 2, for me i thought "the sims 2 university" was so stupid like come on we didn't have any time to get out of the house coz of all the classes and the skills we had to put up and also the assessments so u could get a higher grade!!! but beside everything i said the sims 2 and all roxs i can't wait until i get "the sims 2 nightlife" its the best!!!

    This expansion pack brings "the night" into The Sims 2 game - new catchy house, techno, oldies and classic tunes, about 125 new objects, the new downtown with lots of interesting locations.

It's, as always, something new for your sims, but I won't call it revolutional. The game focuses on downtown and outings (which are funny - after a date you can even get a rose with a love letter, that your Sim can read!), so prepare yoursefl that most of the contest is made only for downtown. It's quite annoying, that there's a lack of new hairstyles (about 6 new meshes). The "Sims can now own cars" is limited - cars can be only placed at the left side of a lot. It's worth buying if you're interested in datings and outings in the city and new official content, but if you don't have to buy it - simply use free sites with downloads.… Expand

    Nightlife is certainly worth the money if you're the kind of player that loves the social aspect more than the house aspect of the game, but it's doesn't seem as dense an addition as "University" was.

    Unlike Sims 2 "University," which added a whole new age, new careers, and new ways to radically change your Sims, Nightlife doesn't change Sims 2 with any bold strokes. Still, just about every feature added in the expansion works and works well, enhancing if not revolutionizing the game.

    The expansion adds a few things that help make the game seem more goal-oriented and a few things that are just plain weird--but it does have some neat new tricks to keep fans of The Sims interested.
