For all you Sims lovers out there in the UK, you will be pleased to know that everyone's favorite virtual, totally made-up family is now moving from the suburbs to the city! (Never mind that most people do that the other way around...)
The Sims 2 Apartment Life for PC is the eighth
expansion pack for The Sims 2 franchise and in this new extension for the game, the Sims are said to experience all of the "drama" and "fun" of apartment living. The "fun and drama" meaning they move into a "brand new building,
explore their new neighbourhood and "mingle in coffee shops". You know, all the sorts of things people in the suburbs do, only with more people around and higher prices.
Despite the fact that most apartments charge you out the ass for having pets, your newly urbanized Sims can also play around with The Sims 2 Apartment Pets for Nintendo DS. Said pets will apparently bring "happiness and joy" to your Sims...along with stained carpets, smelly litter boxes and new obstacles in potty training - such as four fights of stairs and no private garden. Sounds like happiness and joy to me!
However, if you can get over your cynical "omg this is nothing like really living in an apartment in the city" attitude, The Sims 2 Apartment Pets actually seems like a pretty fun game for your DS! Plus, it's only £24.98 on Amazon!
