Play the Pound Game in The Sims 2
Third expansion for The Sims 2 coming.
The real world is fraught with danger and disappointment and nowhere is this more prevalent than in business. But many people have ideas that they'd like to realize, which is precisely why EA is working on a third expansion for The Sims 2 that will let your business brain shine.
The Sims 2: Open For Business is built on the delicate balancing act that is running a successful business. You'll have to devise your idea, build your store and educate your staff. Keeping the customer happy is your main priority and how well you do that is completely up to you.
It may seem oxymoronic to inject such a real-life aspect into a game, but then that is precisely the formula that has helped propel The Sims, making it the one of the biggest franchises of all time.
See whether you're up for the challenge of running your own business when The Sims 2: Open For Business hits the PC later this year.
