Sims go to school

As the first expansion pack to the Sims 2 game, this was a mix of both good and bad. Overall, there were some nice things added to the game, but not as much as some would have liked, and then only if you were actually playing with a student character.

Most important changes -
New jobs, though only if your sim has a degree.
New age-group, but again, only if your sim is a student.
New interactions - school cheers and pranks.
Lifetime want - a reward-building want that can actually put your sim into platinum for the rest of their life.
Extra wants for sims who have finished their degree, and the ability to lock down two wants.

Overall, it's a good expansion, but very focused in what it affects, and hardly affects the game overall, and one gets bored with running the student to their classes and making sure they do all their homework. The biggest change is the lifetime want, which is also included in the later expansions, so if you're not interested in school, this one is mostly skippable.
