The Sims 2: Open for Business (Expansion) Reviews

Nice series!

Before OFB, most of the things in the expansion packs led back to something in the original Sims game. But OFB was the first pack to break almost entirely free of the original. And they did well with the idea. It's one of the better expansion packs.

The major new interaction is building a business. You can arrange flowers, build toys or robots, or cut hair. And you can sell anything your little sim's heart could desire. Some of the bits of this expansion work better than others, but overall, it's a fun addition, especially the makeup chair. The errors your sim makes before they improve are always fun to see, and it's a great way to make the sims in your neighborhood look the way *you* want them to, even if you can't change their clothes.

Still, it's kind of a one-trick pony, though it works better than University. Overall, if you like the idea, you'd probably find it fun. Otherwise--you can probably pass it up.

Comes close to Nightlife as my favourite 'The Sims 2' Expansion Pack. On this you can create your own family business, buy a lot to create your dream shop, hire employee's and make tonnes of money (not that that really matters when you use the cheats ;D)
