It is for this reason that Open for Business is not a personal favorite EP. While creating, building and running stores is both fun and addictive, after a while the task can become tedious and repetitive. Both NPC's (non-playable sims including townies) and your own neighborhood sims can be hired, promoted and fired as workers in your store. Sims earn badges to move up in the work force and thier talents increase over time with thier work experience. These jobs include sales, cashiers, salon stylists, stockers, and factory workers. Sims can now perform new jobs based on the stores you open.
Some of the business options are restaurants, salons, flower shops, toy stores, electronics stores, bakeries, auto dealerships, and lemonade stands.Īs is typical for an open-ended game like the sims, options for store types and products are limited only by your own imagination. This EP allows sims to run and own their own businesses from home or a community lot. The Sims 2: Open for Business is an EP(expansion pack), you must own the original Sims 2 game to play. Though it is challenging at first, you'll eventually get a hang of it and start to run into some serious money. This is a great game for anyone who loves the Sims. Pretty much the only bad thing about this expansion pack is the extended loading periods due to the extra content. Some of the better aspects include hiring employees, gaining retail experience, and brand new business related perks. You can now open restaurants, night clubs, salons, and retail stores, some within your own house. Maxis did a great job incorporating the aspects of real life into your Sim life. The main point of this game however is to run and operate your own business. If your computer already ran slowly from the original Sims 2, it will occasionally crash due to all the extra content on this (it has happened to me once and I have a relatively fast computer.) Elevators! Even the best item from the Sims 1, the Servo robot, is back in this expansion pack.
There are many things that The Sims 2: Open for Business expansion pack brings to the table: there are new lot sizes, clothes, hair styles, over 125 new items and best of all. As in University and Nightlife, new areas are offered for builders, where they can custom-create the retail shop of their Sims' dreams. Cash registers and service counters, awnings and elevators, and a wide selection of costumes and uniforms become available with the add-on.
Some employees are dedicated to their duties while others just put in time for a paycheck, so grooming an efficient staff can be a rewarding challenge.Like earlier Sims expansion packs, Open for Business adds over 100 new objects to the game, many of which can be used at home as well as at work. As the boss of their new businesses, players' Sims are responsible for hiring and firing. Sims can open their own shops and restaurants, and lead their business to great success (or dismal failure!) through careful management and competent customer service. While occupational settings have been highlighted in handheld editions of the title (and celebrity Sims were expected on the set in the original game's Superstar add-on), Open for Business is the first home computer Sims game designed to focus on "the daily grind." Players who once wondered what their favorite characters were doing for those six or eight hours they spent away from the house each day can now find out, first-hand, by following their Sims to work.Not all of the traditional Sims careers are represented in the add-on's new features, but a number of new employment opportunities are presented. It's time to go to work, in this third retail expansion pack for The Sims 2.
