It wouldn’t be a Sims expansion pack without all sorts of interesting objects as well. Of course, this can work in reverse, so now you need to be doubly careful you don’t make the wrong impression. It’s not uncommon to get a cut in the rent you have to pay, or a boost to your salary, among other things. The Sim might turn out to be friends with your landlord, or maybe even your boss. If you can figure out which one a Sim would like, it becomes much easier to become friends.Īnother bonus in the friend department is that if you make a good first impression with a Sim you first meet, they will offer you some sort of networking bonus.
Networking seems to be the name of the game, with different social groups (gearheads, bohemians, jocks and the like) who share a secret gesture (think the ‘hang-loose’ greeting in Bon Voyage), and ‘story’. Aside from these two main new game features, Apartment Life also brings with it some cool new social boosts.
