The Sims 2: Apartment Life A must have for the avid Simmer. It is my favorite.
some bugs but not EA's fault by .. Joyce A. Ratasepp (New Carlisle, In)
Awesome Game! Unfortunalty most of the errors of the game are not all EA's Fault take into consideration what customer content is in the users machine. different video cards cpu hard drive space. Most don't check the specs before buying and then are not happy because it doesn't run. ALWAYS REMOVED DOWNLOADS FOLDER TO DESK TOP BEFORE INSTALLING GAME AND BACK UP THE EA/SIMS2 FOLDER BEFORE INSTALLING. play WITH OUT THE CC (CUSTOM CONTENT) FIRST.
This is an awesome expansion pack interactions are more creative and a ton more building options. Also one should know do not build Apartments on the beach lots. IT WILL CRAsH THE WHOLE GAME!!! You will have to un-intstall and re-install each and every game plus expansions!!
Other than this this game really kicks some butt!

Customer reviews Well, if you need the books... by .. Catherine White (The Front Range of Colorado)
For anyone trying to locate an out of print guide for any of their Sims 2 expansion games, this will probably be a good purchase. Since out of print guides can run up to $80.00 I consider these books to be the better value since the information is the same. A word of caution, however. Since the books are smaller, black and white versions of the originals the pictures are rather difficult to see. Also, unless you have microscopic vision, a magnifying glass is helpful.
It is small, but so very useful by .. K. Elma (PA USA)
I read so many reviews about how small the print is. I'd like to say I'm a bi focal wearer and I had no trouble reading the small print of this book. Don't let the small print discourage you from buying such a fun guide to have. I love this guide.
Print too small by .. Disney Fan (TX)
This is probably helpful for a lot of people, but I'm used to the bigger Prima Guides. The print is just too small for me.
Small books, really small print!  by .. LadyLyd (Roseville, CA)
This set of books are small, smaller than a small paperback novel. I wish I had known how small these books were and how small the print is. Too small for me to read easily. Not a good purchase in my opinion. Not enough info to know the size of the print. Might have been nice to see an actual preview of the print inside.
Economical choice by .. Candice Sue Boulton (South Korea)
This set is a good buy when you consider the cost of buying the bigger ones separately. Although this saves time and trees, I do wish the words were in a bigger print size. None-the-less, as an avid player, I use these books a lot.

Samantha Doyle (USA)
When I ordered this, I was expecting a small, slim little guide with a few tips and strategies. I mean, how much could there be to a computer game? So as you can imagine, I was surprised when I pulled out a thick, 366 page book that broke down everything you could ever need to know (and more) about The Sims 2 into sections, explaining and describing everything, in detail, from Sim genetics, pre-made neighborhoods and the pre-made families that inhabit them, NPCs, Sim memories, Sim death, building a house... okay, I'm confusing myself (and probably you). Here is the complete chapter/section list:
---
Part One: The Basics
-Chapter One: Getting To Know The Sims 2
-Chapter Two: Getting Started
Part Two: Creating Families, Neighborhoods, And Sims
-Chapter Three: Welcome To The Neighborhood
-Chapter Four: Create-A-Sim And Genetics
-Chapter Five: Simology
Part Three: It's A Lot Like Life

-Chapter Thirteen: NPCs
-Chapter Fourteen: Community Lots
-Chapter Fifteen: Objects
-Chapter Sixteen: Disasters, Disease, And Death
Part Four: All In The Family: Sims In Action
-Chapter Seventeen: The Ex-Machina Family Blog
Part Five:
-Chapter Eighteen: Build Mode
-Chapter Nineteen: Story Mode And Moviemaking
-Chapter Twenty: Sim Autonomy
-Chapter Twenty-One: The Sims 2 Body Shop
-Chapter Twenty-Two: Custom Content
-Chapter Twenty-Three: Appendix A: Cheats

So, yes... if you play The Sims 2 at all, get this book. Even if you're just a casual player. I assure you, your Sim gaming experience will be much better. The only regret I have is not having this book around when I first started playing TS2.
Great buy! by .. Larry M. Mccormick ()
If you don't get this book you won't fully understand all the featues of the sims 2. Everything you need to know is there.

Great expansion for Sims2 by .. E. T. Kirby (Bridgeton, NJ)
This was my 1st expansion pack that I bought to use w/Sims2 & it is a good look at what going to college is like, especially if you've never been the kind of person who never stayed on campus. This game shows all the kinds of ways for you sim to meet new people & socialize. The different places where you can do study or reasearch. This was my 1st choice when I looked at all the other expansion packs. I read what the other recommendations said & based my decision on that.
You need this if you want to get the most out of your game by .. David S. Drown (Seguin Texas)
There are things in the game that you just can't figure out on your own. This book will show you everything.
Total Time Saver by .. Sara Patterson (St. Louis, MO)
As other reviewers have noted, this guide does contain a complete reprint of the original game guide. However, having owned the original guide, there is one MAJOR difference. The University Guide has an INDEX. So if you share my frustration of constantly flipping through guides searching for a topic, this is definitely worth the money. The game is time-consuming enough without having to spend time searching through the guides. So even if you don't own the University Expansion Pack, I recommend purchasing this item if only to make the original guide easier to use and the information more accessible.
Worth it if you don't have the first guide! by .. E.S (College Park, MD)
I have been playing the Sims for sometime now and decided to get a guide for it. Having read the reviews and owning all the major expansion packs I decided to go for this one mainly because of the two for one deal. I have been amazed the amount of information it has been able to give me even though I have been playing for so long. The tips on personalities and careers etc I have found useful. I have really been able to maximize the game play. In the past I have always been doubtful whether guides were worth there money or was just a gimmick. But having now got the Sims University guide I would recommend it (but only if you don't have the first one). I am now considering buying others and discovering what other treats I have been missing.

Customer reviews Seasons have arrived! by .. S. Bray ()
I live in a climate where the season change so I was happy to see my Sims season change too. I love that you can set your own season; so if you want it to snow all the time you can set that. I love the little add-ons like the sun burn or turning blue if your outside for too long. The details are what makes this game/expansion pack enjoyable.
I'm having a hard time with getting my trees to produce fruit though...
The best yet by .. Debra A. Smith (Park Falls, WI United States)
I have been a fan of the Sims since the very beginning and own every expansion but this is the best for the Sims 2. The changing of the seasons really brings reality to the game which is what we Sims fans really want. It feels so much more real to see it snowing or raining. I also love the gardening aspect of the game. You need to really tend to things to get your gardening skills to grow and it's alot of fun. I have all the original Sims games and expansions and also everything for Sims 2 but if I had to suggest only one expansion to get it would be this one. It is definitely the best so far.
Very Helpful by .. Providencia Borgstadt ()
This guide was very helpful in that it gave insight to a great deal of new things the Seasons Expansion Pack had to offer. Without the guide it would have taken me some time to find and utilize these new features. Knowing about the new features and how they work made gameplay much more interesting. The guide has a great layout for finding things.
Sims 2: Seasons for the Mac by .. Kim VanderLaan (Ontario, Canada)
I've had limited time to play since installing this latest expansion pack to The Sims 2, but when I've played, I've really enjoyed the new features, careers, activities, etc. The added game content is well worth the price of this expansion! If you enjoy The Sims 2, you will definitely enjoy this expansion!
SEASONS by .. Merry J. Hayes (Perris, CA)
SEASONS ARE FUN FOR SIMS. THEY GET TO GROW A GARDEN. THEY CAN PLAY IN LEAVES AND RAKE LEAVES AND THEN BURN THE LEAVES. THEY CAN PLAY IN THE SNOW IN WINTER TIME. THEY CAN MAKE SNOW ANGELS, BUILD SNOWMEN, HAVE SNOWBALL FIGHTS, OR ICE SKATING AT THE SKATING RINK. THEY GET TO BE RAINED ON TOO. DON'T KEEP YOUR SIM OUT IN THE COLD FOR TOO LONG OR THEY WILL GET SICK AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO SLEEP UNTIL THEY GET BETTER. THIS IS A LOT OF FUN!

Strategies for building your own vacation neighborhoods, hotels, and campgrounds. Customer reviews Bon Voyage Guide by .. L. J. Fetzer (Hendersonville, NC USA)
Sims 2 Bon Voyage: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) (Prima Official Game Guides)I have bought all the guides for the Sims2 games. This one is the best so far. In fact, I doubt I could play the "vacations" strategy very well if I did not have it. The information and instructions are also very well laid out. For example, the user needs to know how to set up, save money for and establish a "home base" for his or her vacation. Choices for the three vacation sites and what to do, if you have Seasons 2 loaded, are helpful too. Otherwise, much time will be lost trying to figure it all out. This manual includes enhancements to Sims2 game play which are great! Buying this guide is a must!
Sims 2 Bon Voyage Stategy Guide by .. Jeff Carter (Perry, Ga United States)
I just got this game today and have just ordered the strategy guide from this site because it's no longer carried in stores.I'm really looking foward to getting this guide because I want to see where all the new stuff is located.Prima is usually pretty good at listing new stuff like funiture,electronics,plumbing etc.I'm also getting this guide to find out which motels have the best stuff with them.There is a patch that has just been released for this expansion pack so most of the problems listed by other reviewers should be fixed with it.From starting the game today this ep has new hairstyles,new turnons and turnoffs,you can get married and go on a honeymoon at one of the vacation locations,you can buy vacation homes etc.I really like that Maxis added the ability to swim in the ocean.I also like the new vacation tourist clothes they thru in.I've only been to 2 locations so far but there are 3 and after the install you can install all 3 of them at your location at one time.Example Pleasentville.I like the Tikki Beach area best because of the ocean and one of the vacation homes are located on the beach.If you don't have the money use the motherlode cheat to buy the vacation homes.You must get on the computer at your home and click on realestate then buy the vacation home.You can't do it while your on the island.I bought one of these homes their nice they have huge bedrooms and a big interior.I will probebly buy one at the other locations too.Their the same price as most homes in the neighborhoods.More info will be forthcoming when I get the guide.
Sims 2 Bon Voyage Expansion Pack by .. Rochelle B. Ward ()
This is even better than I expected; it is my favorite expansion back. I highly recommend this one to all Sims players.
Sims 2 Bon Voyage Is The Greatest by .. Carolyn Moore (Tokeland, WA)
I have been playing the Sims 2 since it first came out and have purchased all of the E.P.'s and mini E.P.'s. Bon Voyage is by far the one of the most enjoyable E.P.s . Not only do your Sims get to go on vacation to one of 3 exotic locations, but they get treasure hunt, dig for treasure maps and collectables, shopping for souveniers, and visiting each locations secret lots. There's lots to do and each location has it own unique style of hotels/camp grounds and locals who can teach your Sims a multitude of new interactions and skills. One even has a ninja that can teach your Sim how to "teleport" and make travelling from within a lot much faster. Also, there's "Big Foot" whom your Sims can meet at one of the secret lots and can befriend him, maybe even move in with your Sims. These are just a few of the many fun things to do with your Sims in this E.P.
I give it * * * * *
my bon voyage experience by .. wanda1000 (palatine, illinois)
i was very excited when this ep came out and hurried out to buy it. it has its glitches and changes. no longer can one delete various custom content as before in eyes, makeup..., problems like sims being stuck on vacation, beach towels multiplying over the entire vacation lot,ordering and paying for room service food but none shows up, vacation lot became corrupted, unusable, it would take up space to list it all, but they all do spoil game fun.
the biggest problem is the use of an anti piracy sony securom7, which lodges in ones computer with hidden files, registry keys which need hi tech knowledge to remove due to remaining after the game is uninstalled. many including myself have had our norton firewall quietly disabled , other reports have been disabled cd devices, unable to access email, sluggish internet to computer crashes. i have had some these problems myself and a search of other securom protected software have experienced these same problems and more.
i have uninstalled it as the glitches, in game errors, and securom7 do not equal enjoyment nor money well spent for me.

Alicia B. Cornils ()
I didn't like the pets package in Sims 1, but I guess I just couldn't resist trying this out...you never know, right? I just find pets annoying. They destroy your furniture in no time flat, they take a lot of work to train (similarly to kids, which I tend to "grow up" early just to get rid of the headaches), and then there's the skunk and other people's pets creating havoc on your property. I guess if you like a challenge or you just really love animals, more power to you. It just doesn't float my boat.
Can't Be Without It by .. HaleyB ()
Everytime the SIMS comes out with a new expansion pack there are always nuances to the game that aren't so obvious. I have bought a prima guide for every expansion pack I own. I strongly recommend it.
Covered the basics by .. Jeffrey L. Wright (Philadelphia Pa.)
I read the guide to pets, it was some help, it gave the basics of the pets expansion pack. I was expecting a little more.
The Sims 2: Seasons by .. N. Cavness (ELK CITY, OKLAHOMA United States)
This has been a long waited chapter in the saga of the Sims and it certainly is not disappointing. The only thing is that there are some glitches in purchasing clothes downtown but whether or not that is in the game itself or my memory getting full I can not say but for entertainment value The Sims 2: Seasons can not be beat
Not enough information for the money by .. Shana (NY- the Empire State)
This really doesn't have enough information on game cheats and strategy in my opinion for the money. I think they should just give these away with the purchase of the game.
Also, this book has no index. Which really makes it difficult to find specific information. This was the first guide I've bought for my Sims 2 games and will be the last.

Over 35 by .. ezreader65 (Sacramento,Ca.)
To the reviewer who complained about the font. I'm 42 and can read the guide just fine. Please do not lump people over 35 with you, evidently you have bad eyesight, and that's not Prima's fault. Definately buy this guide no matter what age you are!

Sincerely,
Gary L Hoffman
Highly Recommend! by .. Finley (California, United States)
Like all the other Sims 2 Prima Guide, this is just great! I find it incredibly useful. So much good info, some that you may never find anywhere else... and even if you do find it somewhere else, at least you know this is official!
And yes, even the official guide includes cheats and tricks! This one includes new ones that you can only use if you have Open For Business. :)
over 35? Don't buy it ... by .. Julia (Chicago, IL)
I think I have bought every one of the Prima guides for the Sims and Sims 2 games - I will never buy another one. Most of the book is in 8-point or 10-point font ... fine if you're 15, but if you're over 35, it's infuriating. Trying to read the tiny type with my contacts in gave me a headache, reading it with my glasses was impossible, so I ended up reading it without my glasses with the book about an inch away from my nose. WHAT A PAIN! Does Prima not get that not all Sims addicts are teenagers? Stupid, stupid book design, and stupid for future sales if Prima doesn't figure out that customers, like Sims, do grow older ...

Controlling Paradise by .. M. Bringino (Elk Grove, CA USA)
If you like the TV show, Lost, you will probably like this game. It is like the show, but you get to control what is happening.
We were totalling addicted to it. We played everyday until we accomplished all the goals. Now, we don't play anymore. We had a great time all playing. All of our family members had fun playing the characters and making things.
ok, but be careful of the platform by .. Angela Boore (Port St Lucie, FL United States)
While the book was a very good read, it was useless to me as the web site never stated what platform the guide was for. I brought it for my DS game, and the guide only covered the PS2 and Wii versions. There is a VERY small spot actually on the picture of the guide itself (you have to enlarge the photo to see it clearly. The web page needs to clearly state what system the book is for. While it read very well, and IF I HAD the game, I'm sure it would be a great help, I gave the book to a friend. It was useless to me.
