Vampirism is a fun addition to the game that offers a very unique way of playing your affected sims. If you have to pick only one expansion for Sims 2 to get, this would be it. Nightlife greatly expands your sims' social interaction and the addition of the downtown neighborhood opens the game up to even more possibilities. Overall, this expansion lets your sims roam away from the confine of their house and explore restaurants, bowling alley, nightclubs, etc., opening up new worlds to them.

Turn ons and Turn offs are great, but they're in every expansion pack. Hey so here's the deal: It sounds pretty awesome. The new clothes and hairstyles are awesome, so that I'm grateful for, and the new interactions are also cool. However, unless you're into the whole dating thing enough to want to always do it, Nightlife isn't all that. I mean, sure it's cool to see a car in their driveway, Heck it's cool to have a driveway. But I found that the car thing isn't really all it's cracked up to be. But really, I don't end up using the cars that much, and beyond that it's the same as taking a taxi. I enjoy it and appreciate some of the little things, but overall, only a four out of five.

There are many new places to explore in the Downtown area that will appeal to a variety of Sims, rather than just Romance or Pleasure Seeker Sims. The cars themselves are indeed very convenient, particularly if you like to take your Sims to community lots frequently. I bought this expansion primarily for the cars, but have enjoyed it much more than I thought I would in other ways. I found the scored dates surprisingly fun, though not very challenging, and the new community lots are pretty interesting at first. In all, I found this a very enjoyable addition to gameplay, although not as deep as the Seasons or Open for Business expansion packs.

Vampires are a fun and unexpected compliment to the aliens and the new turn off- turn on charater traits make it more of a challenge to find the perfect sim couple. This expansion pack is lots of fun with new objects, aspirations, jobs and now cars, The Sims 2 Nightlife is a worthy addition to your Sims 2 game. It's a lot more fun to take sims to community lots due to the variety of activites you can now choose from. I hope you enjoy this expansion pack as much as I do.

As with the other Sims 2 games for the Mac Nightlife is alot of fun.
