After the incredible success of the life-simulation game, Sims 2, gamers have eagerly devoured a variety of Sims 2 expansion packs. Get ready for another addition, with the after-dark installment--The Sims 2: Nightlife Expansion Pack--intended to send your Sims on an epic night out. 
Enjoy the hedonistic side of life while you cruise the nightclub scene. | 
Play your cards right, and you could meet the Sim of your dreams. | 
Get busy with the DJ station, one of over 125 new objects and items. | | | Right out of the box, your characters will be ready to hit the town and all the swanky spots. Whether they're cutting a rug until the morning light, flirting with the opposite sex, or getting nowhere throwing gutterballs at the bowling alley, the Nightlife expansion pack will deliver an unforgettable night on the town. With Nightlife, you'll have a better opportunity to discover the chemistry between Sims. Will two people click or clash? Is there a future beyond the night or is it just a steamy affair? If you're ready to add a fun, romantic, splash to your Sims simulation, then look no further than Nightlife to lift your spirits and start the party. Your Sims' romantic attraction is now based upon personality, life aspiration, and zodiac signs. After you size up a mate and determine likely compatibility, try to throw your Sims' love life into the red zone with new, romantic social interactions such as the longing gaze, the slow dance, or the dramatic dip kiss. If you've done well, success might bring your Sims a romantic gift. Strike out and your Sims might just get a pile of hate mail. Ahh, hedonism. Choose the all-new Pleasure Seeker life aspiration for your Sims and live vicariously through your characters. Deliver these Sims all the blissful amusements the world has to offer--hot dates, fancy parties, fine dinners, hot tubbin', and more--these Sims know how to live it up. Be careful, though! These pleasure-seeking Sims are terrified of pain, embarrassment, and effort, so anything outside of the realm of "PARTY!" is probably going to deliver quite a blow to their fragile egos. Partying doesn't just happen. Looking good and hooking up with the right person takes work. Whether it's a girl's night out or an important, romantic date, your Sims will need to get dolled up and dressed to kill for their epic evening in the all-new downtown area. What's the mood? With all the new choices, they can mellow out in lounges, kick up their heels at hipster nightclubs, enjoy candlelight dinners at fine restaurants, or hit the bowling alley with the guys. No matter how they feel, Nightlife has something to offer. Sims 2: Nightlife Expansion Pack has tons to offer to help your Sims live it up in fun and style. The pack delivers over 125 new objects and items, including a DJ station, a photo booth, a karaoke machine and more. With all the choices your Sims should be ready to impress. Plus, there are loads of exotic new Sims to mingle with or even date, such as vampires, hot waiters and others. So get out there, have some fun and find romance--even if it is just for a night.

 The expansion packs keep getting better! September 20, 2005
24 out of 24 found this review helpful
I purchased the Nightlife expansion pack after using the University expansion pack for several months, and I have to say these add-ons keep getting better! Anyone who plays Sims 2 knows how limitless the game is in nature, but these packs add so much more to the game! This edition especially shows how receptive EA Games is to its customers. A few of the great additions this pack offers are...
-Chemistry: Sims are now able to match based on chemistry. You are able to pick your sim's turn-on's and turn-off's and "scope" rooms for other sims who match basic chemistry. Then, as relationships progress, you can track chemistry levels which will make or break the relationship.
-Pleasure Aspiration: A new aspiration has been introduced to create even more possibilities for your sims new party lives.
-Vehicles: Sims are able to buy cars which makes going to community lots more fun and realistic. Also, you can now build actual garages with driveways. Cars can also be equiped with alarms for an added effect.
-Community Lots: Now, you will be able to change community lots with extreme ease and speed by simply clicking on a lot across the street from the one you're currently at. This is far quicker than having to return to your sim's house and then out again to a different location.
-New objects: This will be very exciting to any avid Sim player! EA has obviously done their reseach and discovered people were trying to make their own sectional couches or boothes for dining. Now, these items come standard with no hassles required. Many new objects await that should definitely meet and exceed your desires.
There are many, MANY more reasons for this expansion pack to receive 5 stars, but I'll save you some surprises! Don't wait; Get it now!
So Far... The Best September 1, 2006
23 out of 24 found this review helpful
While I am generally opposed to the "expansion pack phenomenon," I am at least tamed by cool stuff. The Sims 2: Nightlife Expansion Pack is so far my favorite addition to the series.
Of course, as with everything, there are pros and cons. Let's start with the positive, shall we?
PROS
1. Having your own car is sweet. Besides just being able to drive to work (late, if you want to), you can also cruise around in it (increasing your fun level) and performing the Woo Hoo. It makes for a central idea when going on a date, as you might imagine.
2. Did I just mention... you can go on dates now? It's a cool little feature of this expansion pack. It is basically a scenario process with a new interface. It is pretty cool, but is designed for only one thing, of course: romance. If you are dating around while married, you are indeed having an affair! But there are cool things you can attain from this interaction.
3. Nightlife also includes the non-romantic gatherings concept. You can formulate a group for the sole purpose of just hanging out or actually having a designed night out. In either situation - dating or group get-together - you can go out to dinner, go bowling, or go clubbing. These are the kinds of new aspirations and wants for the new aspiration: Pleasure.
4. Yes, the new aspiration, complete with lifetime wants and the daily fears. You will see that much like the whole nightlife lifestyle, it pretty much just coincides with the Romance aspiration, but requiring less Woo Hoo and more dating. But plan on being a Slacker or a heavy dater, nonetheless.
CONS
1. There are two special Non-Player Characters (NPCs) that pop up in the new Downtown neighborhood: a count vampire (usually named Count Jesse Hutchins, but there are countesses as well) and Mrs. Crumplebottom. If you ask me, both are relatively worthless. If you own the Open for Business expansion pack, my advice is not to construct a business in Downtown that has all the facilities you need to operate it 24 hours a day (like a shower, oven, etc.). The reason is that Mrs. Crumplebottom won't let you or your employees bathe. Oh, and she won't let you in a spa, either. (Bathing suits.)
2. The expansion pack will set you back some decent chump change. Why not wait until The Sims 3 comes out and then get The Sims 2 Complete Edition? It will only cost you $50 then, I would guess, and you get every expansion included. But if you can't wait that long and you don't need the cash, The Sims 2: Nightlife will keep you "busy" for a ton of hours.
Have fun.
HOLY CRAP! November 16, 2006

THIS GAME...OH MY GOSH! This is...THE BEST Sims game...EVER(I wouldn't know exactly...University doesn't work on my computer but...)! If you haven't gotten it yet, then you are SO missing out. I know you've already heard about it already but...
Pros:
-CARS!! One of the last things that I wanted! Now you can actually go places WITHOUT having to pay money for a taxi and wait for it to arrive while you Sim wants to go here and there and do this and that and by the time it gets there it takes forEVER to get them there and...I'm rambling...sorry...BUT IT'S AN AWESOME ADDITION!
-Dating...it makes the Sims life seem even more realistic than before! If you have a dream date, then they'll show up at your door and give you a boquet of flowers. If your house is already crowded, than this can be kinda annoying because you just don't have space to put that kinda thing anywear, but it's still a nice addition. If your date is a disaster however...well...they show up at your door furious and with a burning bag of dog poo. But yeah...dating is awesome combined with chemistry. Chemistry can either make your life a whole lot easier by unlocking actions earlier...or they could be completely repulsed by the person that you want them to love...but that's just another thing to add to their personality...which is totally real now by the way.
-VAMPIRES! I've been trying so hard to get one of my Sims bitten...and finally it happened! I now have a whole vampire family who are busy biting their freinds and spreading the epidemic of vampirism! When night comes, NONE of their needs go down! NONE OF THEM! Which means that you've got a whole twelve hours that they can use for maximizing skills! The bad part is that they can't really work, unless they have a home business I guess...but if you don't have Open For Business...then you have to use "motherlode"...a lot. And sometimes, with no needs to fullfill, it gets kinda tedious...BUT I STILL LOVE IT! Oh...and another thing...once morning comes...they have to get into a coffin quick! They start to die when they're exposed to sunlight, which gets kinda tough when you have an annoying little baby/toddler/kid who doesn't seem to understand that they're killing their parents when they wake them up because, A.)They need their diper changed, B.)They woke up from a nap, or C.)They want them to cheer for a report card.
-The awesome downtown. They've got tons of new places to go to! It takes FOREVER to load downtown then the place, but that can be solved by living in a house downtown. Then you only have to load the place, which takes considerably less time.
-All of the new outfits and hair. There are so many new choices! It's really cool! You can even have their hair dyed different colors by going to custom hair when they change their appearance.
Cons:
There's really not much...but I suppose...
-You can't save when downtown. Not a new concept...but it's still extremely annoying.
-The lack of vampires. I have a few Sims that spend every single night roaming downtown in search of vampires for the purpose of becoming one, and only one succeeded! ONE! Other times, I found one on a Sim that wasn't for that purpose, which made me really mad because if I had only been there with a one that was meant for it...
-Toddlers, kids, and teenagers can't be vampires. I suppose that it's because they have to go to school, but couldn't they have had a night school or a special school for vampires? I even had two vampire parents have a baby, and it wasn't a vampire...but I guess I'll just have to wait...
As you can see from the extreme lack of cons, this is an AWESOME game and I love it!
The best expansion for any Sims game yet! November 27, 2005
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
I got this expansion a couple of weeks ago and already have learned so much. There are so many new things including the new downtown feature, cars, and the ability to go on dates.
When i played this game for the first time I thought it was similar to what it would be like to play the first sims game with multiple expansions packed into one.
My favorite feture of this game has got to be the cars. They have opened so many possibilities and are similar to what you can do in a double bed with two sims.
Bowling, dates, and night clubs are the star of downtown. You can go on dates to any of these places. You can also have sims who crave the city life live downtown. This is a great feature for city-goers who need to just live there.
Bowling is something I haven't really had a chance to try but I expect it to be awesome. I have made many sims and have been able to accomplish that great dream date everyone dreams of having.
Another perk that I've noticed not many people addres is the turn-ons and turn-offs feture. You can choose two turn-ons and one turn-off. These allow the new service of the matchmaker to have an easier job of finding your perfect mate if you can afford it.
There are so many new possibilities included in this expansion pack and I can't even tell all the new items included. I can advise all big-time players that to cheat or not to cheat is truly the question. The answer for me was simple because I am a big cheater and it helped me with some little things so much! Promise me you will get this game!
A must have expansion pack... June 29, 2007
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
Nightlife is a MUST HAVE. The downtown is great, though there is some pointless businesses like the art museum. You get new clothes, and a new aspiration. I didn't try out the new aspiration yet, though.
I had a lot of fun sending my Sim on dates, and utilizing all the new features. This game is defiantly something you want to have with your Sims 2 collection!
Their are vampires in the town, a male and a female. I'm not sure if they have more than just two yet. I haven't tried out being a vampire yet, but I will soon! There is a CRAP LOAD of new stuff in this expansion. Everything from wall designs, the new 'rugs' feature, garages, new pre-made house lots (I love the townhouse!). New designs, paintings, and a lot of new entertainment and party things. (You can make your own disco lounge with awesome light-up dance floors and a DJ booth with stobe lights.)
They have new clothes as well, a lot more for woman than men, but both have a fun new outfit fit for any off the wall person. There is also the new 'smoothing' tool for your lawn, now you wont have those hills that seem more like cliffs! It makes the hills more like rolling meadows. XD
You can see your neighbors, but you'll have to turn that option on in the settings first! Its a great new feature, feels much better (I hated the fact it felt like the Sims were just floating on a small flat square green planet..)
I personally enjoyed the amount of new options the sims get, now they can 'primp' themselves, ask other Sims specific questions! And get answers! Such as: 'do you like what you see?' 'what do you want?' what do you fear?' what is your job?' 'How much money do you have?' 'What turns you on?' and more.
You also can gain influence points and influence other Sims to do things like 'kiss...(any person in the room)', Talk to anyone in the room, play with them, you can even have them CLEAN YOUR HOUSE or GARDEN, even serve your household a meal! Now thats some influencing!
There is a LOT of new meals as well, though I'm not sure if you can learn to cook these yourself yet. Either way when you go out and order, you get way more than just 'spaghetti or macaroni and cheese'. There's stuff on the menu I never heard of. (lol)
Overall, I can't tell you everything that is in this expansion, besides the fact that I'm very happy with it.
