About this product

Product Information

It's time to go to work, in this third retail expansion pack for The Sims 2. While occupational settings have been highlighted in handheld editions of the title (and celebrity Sims were expected on the set in the original game's Superstar add-on), Open for Business is the first home computer Sims game designed to focus on "the daily grind." Players who once wondered what their favorite characters were doing for those six or eight hours they spent away from the house each day can now find out, first-hand, by following their Sims to work.<br><br>Not all of the traditional Sims careers are represented in the add-on's new features, but a number of new employment opportunities are presented. Sims can open their own shops and restaurants, and lead their business to great success (or dismal failure!) through careful management and competent customer service. As the boss of their new businesses, players' Sims are responsible for hiring and firing. Some employees are dedicated to their duties while others just put in time for a paycheck, so grooming an efficient staff can be a rewarding challenge.<br><br>Like earlier Sims expansion packs, Open for Business adds over 100 new objects to the game, many of which can be used at home as well as at work. Cash registers and service counters, awnings and elevators, and a wide selection of costumes and uniforms become available with the add-on. As in University and Nightlife, new areas are offered for builders, where they can custom-create the retail shop of their Sims' dreams.

    Great Expansion for a Quick Computer

    There are many things that The Sims 2: Open for Business expansion pack brings to the table: there are new lot sizes, clothes, hair styles, over 125 new items and best of all... Elevators! Even the best item from the Sims 1, the Servo robot, is back in this expansion pack. However, it comes at a cost. If your computer already ran slowly from the original Sims 2, it will occasionally crash due to all the extra content on this (it has happened to me once and I have a relatively fast computer.) The main point of this game however is to run and operate your own business. Maxis did a great job incorporating the aspects of real life into your Sim life. You can now open restaurants, night clubs, salons, and retail stores, some within your own house. Some of the better aspects include hiring ...

    The Sims 2: Open for Business

    The Sims 2: Open for Business is an EP(expansion pack), you must own the original Sims 2 game to play. This EP allows sims to run and own their own businesses from home or a community lot. Some of the business options are restaurants, salons, flower shops, toy stores, electronics stores, bakeries, auto dealerships, and lemonade stands. As is typical for an open-ended game like the sims, options for store types and products are limited only by your own imagination. Sims can now perform new jobs based on the stores you open. These jobs include sales, cashiers, salon stylists, stockers, and factory workers. Sims earn badges to move up in the work force and thier talents increase over time with thier work experience. Both NPC's (non-playable sims including townies) and your own ...

    fun game

    This is an add on to the Sims2 series. If you are familiar with the Sims, this expansion let's the character operate his/her own business. You can purchase property in a new neighborhood or start a home based business. There are quite a few items in the buy mode and build mode that make it fun but I have downloaded more items to use this expansion than any other. At first, having not read the entire instructions, I purchased a lot, built my busines and then could not get back to her home. When I went to the neighborhood screen I got a message that 'x character' is at 'x' and it was the business lot. I could not open the character in the home. Using the new neighborhood solved that and I haven't tried to figure out what was happening in my initial play. Overall this is a fun ...

    Excellent expansion pack.

    Great expansion pack--it adds a ton of new stuff to the game. Opening businesses is challenging, fun, and addictive, especially because you can basically do whatever you want (sell almost anything available in Buy Mode or make things yourself, plus restaurants and more...). Aside from the businesses, the game also adds loads of new skins and interesting building options such as elevators and split-level foundations. It's very refreshing for a veteran Sims player, and for a more casual player it's just a lot of fun. This is easily my favorite expansion pack to date.

    Just what I needed.

    I Love this expansion pack! It really adds demention to the game. I plan one day to open up my own vintage clothing store, so this addition was great for I can, in a way, plan how I want my store. I just LOVE it! It really is a good game. Also a great thing about this expansion is that it comes with the Elevator Option which is very nice to have. Now you can put classy elevators in your homes, and if you have vacation, your hotels! Its cool.
