Electronic Arts has announced The Sims 2: Apartment Life, the eighth expansion pack to The Sims 2, which is part of the best selling PC franchise of all time. Even though The Sims 2 has many expansions, Apartment Life will take players out of the suburban setting and into a new apartment building. Players can choose and decorate from five different building types, where they will be accompanied by a butler. Prepare to explore new environments filled with more characters to interact with. The expansion also allows you to control multiple households which should make for a dynamic mix.
New character types and social networks are introduced-- artsy bohemians, sports fans, and gadget-loving techies. The expansion also includes a new reputation meter. The meter allows you to gain or lose respect with your fellow sims. If you get a high reputation meter, it's easier to recruit friends into helping you with your goals.
Coupled with the announcement of the new expansion, Electronic Arts has also announced The Sims 2 Apartment Pets for the DS. Both the DS game and the PC expansion will launch on August 22.
