The Sims 2 Bon Voyage, EA's latest expansion pack for the mega-popular PC series, takes the Sims to exotic locales, where they can explore tropical islands, buy souvenirs and learn local customs.

The expansion pack shipped to retailers in the U.S. and Europe Aug. 31.

Along with this new EP, now makes The Sims 2 the PC game with the most Expansion Packs, ever...

I thought they would have been named the game with most expansion packs ever about a thousand ago (i might be one or two out

) ... there are so many its crazy...

Why won't this game die. My sister loves, I loathe it. I mean, as a gamer I'd rather have The Sims 3, eventhough I wouldn't play it but you know...

There's been rumors of The Sims 3 being in development. But as for The Sims 2, It's still in the prime of it's life, so i imagine it will be years before you even see a Sims 3.

My sisters clogged my PC up with so many Sims/Sims 2 expansions i got tired of seeing it and paid for another PC for them to have so they would leave it off mine

Heh, yeah i remember you telling me that. I have all the Sims 2 expansion packs installed on this comp at the moment..and it's eaten up 15GB's so far. But I'm probably going to uninstall them and re-install them on a much bigger hard drive than this one.

Yeah, it's absurd. But I actually like them, for brief periods of time. The Seasons expansion, and the Nightlife one, were worth it just for Vampires and, especially, Plantsims-- made it a hell of a lot easier to just build, build, build. After that, though... not so sure. Most've them just add a bunch of pointless new furniture; with not much new to play.

Orpheus Lupus · 09-05-2007, 02:24 AM

I don't buy the clothing and furniture packs, but I do buy the more major ones >_<" I still enjoy it, I admit it. But I...Tend to not make normal Sims situations. *ahem*

Tsuyu · 09-05-2007, 01:14 PM

Who does? Whenever I play it, I just torture them. That adds some fun to the game, but it gets sorta boring quickly.

Orpheus Lupus · 09-05-2007, 09:13 PM

I don't torture them, I just make them as interesting as I possibly can. :-P Throw in a few fictional characters of mine as accurately as I can make them as well.

Then again, I also do quite a lot of manipulation through cheats and mods to set up interesting neighborhoods :-P

I like the Sims 2, it's addicting and I started off young when the first Sims came out. I agree that there are way too many expansion packs though. It's a little excessive.

TRA Rotid · 09-08-2007, 04:16 PM

I have to get it. For my sister and would like to see it myself too. I have all the previous expansions and one stuff pack.

A little excessive being an understatement, the game shop in next town to me had to build 2 extra rows to PC section just to accommodate those expansions

Meant 3 - 4 rows of shelf space just for The Sims and Sims 2 plus expansions. Thats crazy

TRA Rotid · 09-08-2007, 04:47 PM

Yeah, but each expansion pack adds a lot to the game.
But I usually get bored after two weeks with the new pack.

Wouldnt really say some add a lot except some new clothes/jobs/ and items etc. Some definitely arent worth the full expansion price thats for sure.
