Nightlife Rocks (Gasp!)
sara_dippity:
I agree, this is probably the best Sims expansion ever. I never went to community lots unless I had to shop, in TS1 either, and never went out on dates really in TS1. Now I'm doing all kinds of group outing and dates. I think the ability to go out in a group is what made the expansion for me. Great for keeping family in touch, and getting friends to meet each other. I know that you could invite them over for a party, but it just doesn't seem the same. There's too many things to do around the house, seems like home is for skill building and whatnot. Really, like life. Usually I meet people somewhere rather than invite them over, more fun to get out of the house.

Exuse me to be the "party pooper" of the above auphoria...:).
If the game is so good - why I read so much whinning, and pleading for the hacks and the mods that don't work anymore in NL? What about the non-stop ringing phone? And the lost of the memories visiting downtown? And many many other bugs I read about in several forums?
I have NL, and the CDs lie down on my shelf indeed as a ROCK. Indeed the game ROCKS!...:).

Just curious, could you please provide a link to one of these posts where someone actually (other than FDA) wrote "EA GAMES IS THE ANTICHRIST".
Thank you.

Because a lot of people like to whine. They're not happy unless they're miserable.
The game has bugs and glitches, but it's far from unplayable. Wanna bet a lot of severe bugs people experience now are because they used the Clean Installer to remove hacks... instead of emptying out their downloads folder like they should have done? The Clean Installer seems to miss a lot of hacks which end up getting left in your game.
One good thing I've noticed with Nightlife is that the downtown lots aren't as offensively bad as most of the lots in the base game and Uni. I've only seen minor problems with the buildings so far, none that require major surgery, as do some of the dorms.
Basically, I'm happy with the game. I'll be even happier when the modders have upgraded all their mods to fix the annoyances. And at least Maxis says they're working on patches, which is more than we ever had before. It made much more sense to ignore the Maxis bug reporting and *hope* that *eventually*, if Maxis thought you'd actually found a bug they *might* *try* to fix it, and simply report the bugs to the modders who would have a fix published within 24 hours. At least the modders would respond. With any luck, Maxis will start responding as well.

Ancient Sim:
I agree, it's an excellent expansion and the new interractions are great. As far as the actual gameplay is concerned, I have no problems with it. I am, however, extremely angry about the wiping of memories for all the townies & NPC's as soon as they come into play. It simply isn't acceptable, they should have put out a warning and preferably offered a choice. At the very least, they could have left memories pertaining to living Sims alone and just removed invisible ones. The flimsy excuse about the lack of sound from the karaoke machines isn't very impressive, either. They disappear with loads of error files and come back several days later blaming it on our systems, yet someone is able to produce a working patch within hours! Issues like this are important and we do have the right to complain about them, separately and aside from our views on the game overall.
However ... the game itself is great, I agree. Definitely my favourite TS2 expansion so far, although there isn't exactly much choice as yet! I may decide that I prefer this to Makin' Magic, not sure yet as I really did love that one and I miss it a lot. Now, about this falling asleep over a meal. How does that come about? I did see mention of it somewhere but I've forgotten what was said. I've certainly not seen it so far.
