  1. 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.
  2. The good news is that it has an abundance of new features that, rather than taking over the basic goals, instead complements them. It's an expansion that actually expands on the core game, so if you're getting a little bored with the basic package it's a good bet.
  3. There aren’t any big enough changes in Nightlife to change your mind about the game if you’re not a The Sims 2 fan to begin with, and certain issues such as long load times still persist in the game. However, if you’re looking to add some fun to your sims’ lives, Nightlife fits the bill quite nicely.
  4. It doesn’t offer as much input into the game as university does but its still worth having and adds a load of new features to stretch the games fun-life out that little bit further!

  1. 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. And besides game cost only 35 dollars that's the cheepest thing for such a cool game. He is my star.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love from Russia! Expand

    This is the BEST game ever. Do not deny it, you know it is... So awesome, and the person you aren't playing on can actually propose to you!

    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
