time for a little hot date
so nightlife to the sims 2 is basically just like hot date is to the sims with you getting the chance to ask another sim out on a blind date with a little help from the matchmaker.
the dating system is simple yet at the same time very satisfying since the aspiration points awarded for this is rather high and it helps to build up romantic relationships effectively, which good for the romance sims who were less than fun to manage after a dozen woohoos.
the contacts that are randomly obtained is another plus, allowing you to further your career for a period of time.
the outings system which also comes along with this, isn't quite as fun as going out on dates considering how hard it is to get the score high enough but it's still good for a little socializing.
cars are also a feature of this and are rather useful whether you're late for work or school.
vampires make for an entirely different gameplay with you needing to shun the sun and sleep during the day, coming out in the middle of the night to stalk the downtown areas with others of your kind.
overall, this is definitely worth the cost and is a very well made expansion to the core game.
