EA has today announced the August 22 release of The Sims 2 Apartment Life, the latest expansion for the hugely successful The Sims 2.
In The Sims 2 Apartment Life Sims will be taken out of the suburbs and into a busy apartment building. Sims will have to explore the new neighbourhood, mingle in coffee shops, visit a playground, meet new friends and more. With the ability to control multiple households Sims can choose to live in harmony or comical conflict.
The expansion will also feature new social networks and character types, including artsy bohemians, sports fans and gadget-loving techies. Using the new reputation meter Sims can build up their respect from other Sims to be the most admired or least desired Sim in the neighbourhood. A good reputation will help the Sim find good friends who will help the Sim achieve its goals.
Apartment Life also includes five new building types, ranging from converted lofts to roomy studios or luxury apartments with their own butler.
The Sims 2 Apartment Life is scheduled for release across Europe on August 22, 2008.
Also available in August is The Sims 2 Apartment Life Limited Collection which includes The Sims 2 Apartment Life and The Sims 2 Double Deluxe (The Sims 2, The Sims 2 Nightlife Expansion Pack, The Sims 2 Celebration Stuff and a video DVD with a host of tips and tricks).
