Sims 2 Nightlife is one of the more favored expansion packs(EP) for the Sims 2 game. Since this is an EP, you will need to own the original Sims 2 game to play. The best feature of nightlife is the ability to for your sims to own cars. However, one reason why the game gets a good, instead of excellent rating is the sparsity of choice in car ownership. Still, adding garages and outings is a very fun enhancement to the game. With Nightlife, sims can now pick up dates or friends and have an outing on the town. Dates and outings are a new goal oriented task where your sim must exercise social skills to make an enjoyable experience for yourself and your guests. Fun group activities are available with the new interactive objects that come with the EP; bowling, a DJ booth, poker table, and a karaoke machine to name a few. There are 125 new objects total. Another enhancement is the new Pleasure life aspiration. Pleasure sims have life goals of partying, dating, and otherwise enjoying themselves. The game also adds a new area to your neighborhood called downtown. Downtown is populated by down-townies, (non-playable sims, whom your sim can interact with, date, or marry) including a rich "diva" sim who comes with a simolean bonus, vampire sims, who can turn your sim into a vampire, and a gypsy who can cure your sim of vampirism or set them up on a blind date for the right price. These added features make Nightlife a must-have for any sims addict. Compared to other EP's, nightlife is one of the more thorough, with more added features, game and player options than most of the other EP's.Read full review
Nightlife is an interesting expansion for the Sims 2. As oppossed to Univeristy, there's nothing so great added to the game, that you must use the new features, but its chock full of little things that make things easier. Buy this expansion so you can see your neighbors houses from your sims lot, and jump between neighboring houses without loading the neighboring screen. Buy it for the handy community lot menu that pops up when your leaving your lot, so you can select your destination without loading any extra screens. Some nice extra items are added and the dating mini-game isn't half bad.
I've found that Sims 2 is the best sims games out there so I went back to playing this one and night life is one of my favorite expansions I like how I can send my sim out to eat or just to have fun. It makes it more fun. another favorite of mine is the university expansion where I can send my sims to college othough I guess it doesn't help much when they graduate and go to work doesn't seem to matter that they have a college degree like in real life but it's still fun.

The first expansion pack to the Sims 2 offered by EA Games is definitely a winner on the amount of additional options it gives to your simming. You now have the ability to purchase vehicles, and travel not only within the neighborhood, but also to a "downtown" destination. An excellent addition to the game, that comes with some great new objects as well. New clothes, cars, skins, and hair options. A must have expansion in order to truly enjoy the game in later expansions.
I like how you can take your Sims downtown to go bowling and eat out. I like the fancy dancing lights that you can put into your own household. It's very fun, and the additional content is great for any Sim lover. I decided to buy it because I liked most of the add-on content that you can put in your game.
