The Sims 2 Free Time Snapshot

After last 5 Sept 2007, EA games released The Sims 2 Bon Voyage now, they announce NEW expansion pack!

It named Sims2 FREE TIME

I read many negative review from many sims forum. Actually not about the expansion but because how EA choose the expansion name. Most of them prefer “Hobby” as name. but oh well… as long as the expansion pack is good, I’m not to think about the name. lol

“Now your Sims can enjoy hobbies! Your Sims will have fun taking up a variety of creative, intellectual, or active leisure-time pursuits. They can even meet Sims that share their interests and expand their social relationships. Develop your Sims’ skills while they pursue their true pastime passions. Will your Sims stumble reaching for new goals or find a new sense of fulfillment?”

Is that cool? If I want to be painter, I will have my own community ^^

and what about the feature on this sims 2 Free Time expansion?

  • Sims now have a wide range of new activity types, from sports to science to arts and crafts. Some new hobbies include basketball, soccer, restoring cars, ballet, and searching for alien life in outer space.
  • Completing hobbies offer lifetime rewards. As Sims master activities they will unlock new aspirations, earn rewards, and uncover secret lots.
  • Once Sims build up their skills, they can sell their arts and crafts or enter them into competitions for dance, food, and video game contests.
  • New group activities lets Sims spend time with family and friends. There are new special activities for kids and toddlers.
  • Hobbies can have unexpected moments, especially for Sims with low skill levels. Beginner Sims might sew a bear with one eye, make a lopsided jar on the pottery wheel, or even get poison ivy while hiking

Ah I cant wait to have it. O yeah…. I think i should upgrade my PC. Ahaha My motherboard got some trouble and I decide to change it. So I think I will make it for play sims. Ahahah

    Takemizu Village

    In-game description: Combined with beautiful scenery, serene locales, and delicious foods, the Takemizu Village offers a peaceful and relaxing vacation for your family and friends. Learn about local customs and history while enjoying beautiful sights. Come stay at this tranquil vacation spot that promises not to disappoint.

    This neighborhood / travel destination offers a beautifully designed selection of places to stay with its far east customs. It also specializes in certain items designated for this area. For an example most of the buildings include a brand new roof type (Pagoda Roofs) for you to make new sloped roofs commonly seen in the Far East, which is why they are there. You can make these new roofs yourself in Build mode just like any other roof along with many new roof textures to go along with it. (P.S. You may also use the new roof textures for any other type of roof.) Other examples are having the ability to serve tea, there is a new shrine that you can make wishes in (or even make things worse), and there is a new beautiful Zen Garden that you can rake to help it progress and even meditate on it.

    (QUICK GREAT FACT! Usually when going on vacation you just take your family, well now in Bon Voyage you can even take people you know with you on vacation too!

    **************

    Three Lakes

    In-game description: Planning on roasting a marshmallow under the stars? Or are you looking to try your skills at log rolling or axe throwing? Three lakes provides the perfect vacation destination for those who seek and enjoy the great outdoors. With fresh air and nature all around you it’s nearly impossible not to savor every second.

    If you’re looking to travel down into the country or the great mountains go ahead and take a tent to treat your family here for the perfect place of activities. This travel destination is based on the greatness that comes with the classic cabins and old fashion places along with different customs and entertainment. Each travel destination has its own interactions and different behavior. For example here there is a new dance that you can join in with a group called the “Slap Dance.” Some other interesting facts are that you can now actually sleep over community and residential lots by using a tent so there is no need to worry about loosing energy while visiting a location. Also you can also dig from any spot of the ground and find “treasure” and other interesting items (You can dig on any lot). One last thing that is sure to catch your eye is the wonderful new creature that shall come out with out suspecting it. Newly added to this expansion pack is Big Foot. I personally did not get to see him myself but I know he exists! So look forward for this great creature this September!

    (QUICK GREAT FACT! There are now many new activities for your Sims to enjoy including axe throwing and log rolling.

  • My Review about Sims 2 University

    Since now I try my best to give review all expansion the sims from beginning until last expansion. But I cant review all in one time. Pls be patient. I try to review from first expansion ad go on. Now I want to write about The Sims 2 University

    This is sort review from the original Sims site (Skip and go through my review if U was read them before)

     

    Your Sims Are Taking Over Campus! The first Sims 2 expansion pack. In The Sims 2 University, players for the first time will play through the new “young adult” life stage as their Sims head off to college and join the campus crowd. Whether they live in the dorms or rush a fraternity or sorority that’s just the beginning…Sims can choose from one of 11 majors and by keeping their grades on track, they’ll secure a final degree and open up 4 new career paths. Pranks, parties and college social interactions add to the excitement while your Sims explore campus locations such as college lounges, pool halls, gyms and coffee houses. As in real life, if your Sims start running low on funds, they can earn Simoleans by picking up a part time job, like tutoring, or engaging in riskier affairs like printing money as a member of the “secret society.”

    Your Sims are now young adults leaving home to live the ultimate college fantasy. Immerse them in college life as they become the Big Sim on Campus. They’ll relish their new-found freedom as they party with friends, join fraternities and sororities and pull outrageous pranks. Your Sims will explore all the campus hot-spots as they frequent lounges, gyms, coffee houses and more. Help them fulfill new lifetime goals to unlock more rewards and reap all of the benefits of their university years.

    Note: This expansion pack requires the full version of The Sims 2 to play.

    Does Sims 2 University significantly add to the Sims 2 experience? Is it worth the money? The short answer to both questions is yes: there’s a lot of meaty content here and some awesome new gameplay to explore. Only a number of small bugs and annoyances that are beginning to creep into the code base hold the pack back from the perfect five-star score that The Sims 2 enjoyed, but it’s still brimming with new content that make it a must for anyone still playing Sims 2.

    Collegiate Content

    The Sims 2 University isn’t just a random assortment of additional objects and floor patterns. It adds significantly to the core game. For one thing, there’s a whole new age wedged in between teenager and adult. Sims become a “Young Adult” when they go to college, and stay that way until they graduate, about 3-4 weeks later in “Sims time.” (A complete rundown of everything that was added to the game would be too much to print here, but for detailed descriptions of the new content check out our “letters home” series: Letter 1, Letter 2, Letter 3, and Letter 4.)

    Suffice it to say that your Sims can now go to college on any of several new college campus maps, live in the dorms (you can now claim a single room in a building that isn’t yours, shared by other Sims), join fraternities or sororities, go to classes, work odd jobs for cash, play any number of new musical instruments, have a graduation party, or slave away at any of four new careers. There’s even a secret society that might “recruit” your Sim and drag him or her to their secret mansion.

    New Young Adult Age Group:
    All-new university age Sims leave home and take over campus. Now they can relish their new-found freedom by setting a new life goal.

    Become the Big Sim on Campus:
    Your Sims have all-new wants and fears tied to their social and academic life. Develop their ability to influence friends, classmates, and faculty.

    Earn Degrees to Open Up New Careers:
    Choose from 11 majors for your Sims and keep their grades on track. Secure the final degree and open up four new career paths.

    New “College Town”:
    Now your Sims can live the ultimate college fantasy whether it’s living in dorms, rushing a fraternity, or shacking up with friends in their very own pad.

    College Lifestyle:
    Join a band, crash parties, find a part-time job, or get initiated into a secret society, print money, and cheat on your studies. How will your Sims enjoy their college years?

    Over 100 New Objects and Décor Items:
    Take a fun study break with the Arcade Game or polish your skills on the Drum Kit. Hustle your pals on the Pool Table, milk the cow plant and extend your Sims life span, or take a photo with the new Camera and use it as wall-hanging.
