The best yet.......2007-10-03
I have been a fan of the Sims since the very beginning and own every expansion but this is the best for the Sims 2. The changing of the seasons really brings reality to the game which is what we Sims fans really want. It feels so much more real to see it snowing or raining. I also love the gardening aspect of the game. You need to really tend to things to get your gardening skills to grow and it's alot of fun. I have all the original Sims games and expansions and also everything for Sims 2 but if I had to suggest only one expansion to get it would be this one. It is definitely the best so far.
Very Helpful.......2007-09-21
This guide was very helpful in that it gave insight to a great deal of new things the Seasons Expansion Pack had to offer. Without the guide it would have taken me some time to find and utilize these new features. Knowing about the new features and how they work made gameplay much more interesting. The guide has a great layout for finding things.
Sims 2: Seasons for the Mac.......2007-08-26
I've had limited time to play since installing this latest expansion pack to The Sims 2, but when I've played, I've really enjoyed the new features, careers, activities, etc. The added game content is well worth the price of this expansion! If you enjoy The Sims 2, you will definitely enjoy this expansion!
SEASONS.......2007-07-16
SEASONS ARE FUN FOR SIMS. THEY GET TO GROW A GARDEN. THEY CAN PLAY IN LEAVES AND RAKE LEAVES AND THEN BURN THE LEAVES. THEY CAN PLAY IN THE SNOW IN WINTER TIME. THEY CAN MAKE SNOW ANGELS, BUILD SNOWMEN, HAVE SNOWBALL FIGHTS, OR ICE SKATING AT THE SKATING RINK. THEY GET TO BE RAINED ON TOO. DON'T KEEP YOUR SIM OUT IN THE COLD FOR TOO LONG OR THEY WILL GET SICK AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO SLEEP UNTIL THEY GET BETTER. THIS IS A LOT OF FUN!
good info, poor design.......2007-07-08
I've only had time to skim through the book but already I am learning things I didn't know before and wouldn't of been able to find without hours and hours of playing. My only gripe about the book would be that it's bigger than a normal sized magazine and therefore very bulky and akward to skim through. I used to have the Sims 2 guide and I found that it was the perfect size to skim through. There is also some either repeat information or information that is completely useless and can be found in the game (the new furniture and their cost, etc.)

No GBA.......2007-08-08
The picture is very small, and nowhere on the product guide does it say that it is not for ALL sims 2 pets. I have the GBA version, and was stuck on a part, and bought it hoping for assistance. I was extremely disappointed not to see GBA. I figured the part out myself, but next time will not be so quick to purchase a guide without 100% verifcation that what I was is covered.
The Sims 2: Seasons.......2007-03-09
This has been a long waited chapter in the saga of the Sims and it certainly is not disappointing. The only thing is that there are some glitches in purchasing clothes downtown but whether or not that is in the game itself or my memory getting full I can not say but for entertainment value The Sims 2: Seasons can not be beat
Covered the basics.......2007-03-08
I read the guide to pets, it was some help, it gave the basics of the pets expansion pack. I was expecting a little more.
Not enough information for the money.......2007-02-09
This really doesn't have enough information on game cheats and strategy in my opinion for the money. I think they should just give these away with the purchase of the game.
Also, this book has no index. Which really makes it difficult to find specific information. This was the first guide I've bought for my Sims 2 games and will be the last.
helpful.......2007-01-20
Helpful with cheats for the new add on but also has some info about the basics.

question!!!.......2007-09-19
well i have the other guides to the other ones but this one cant be ordered at barnes and noble and i come on here but i want to know why its so expensive..??i cant figure out how to play it without the book...
Over 35.......2007-08-26
To the reviewer who complained about the font. I'm 42 and can read the guide just fine. Please do not lump people over 35 with you, evidently you have bad eyesight, and that's not Prima's fault. Definately buy this guide no matter what age you are!
TS2 PRIMA Game Guide.......2006-07-31
Prima is "Premium", the most useful and helpful tool that my wife and I have gotten for the Sims games!
Thank you so much to all those involved with the making, publishing, and marketing of these Wonderful Help and Instruction Guides!
Sincerely,
Gary L Hoffman
Highly Recommend!.......2006-07-03
Like all the other Sims 2 Prima Guide, this is just great! I find it incredibly useful. So much good info, some that you may never find anywhere else... and even if you do find it somewhere else, at least you know this is official!
And yes, even the official guide includes cheats and tricks! This one includes new ones that you can only use if you have Open For Business. :)
over 35? Don't buy it ..........2006-04-19
I think I have bought every one of the Prima guides for the Sims and Sims 2 games - I will never buy another one. Most of the book is in 8-point or 10-point font ... fine if you're 15, but if you're over 35, it's infuriating. Trying to read the tiny type with my contacts in gave me a headache, reading it with my glasses was impossible, so I ended up reading it without my glasses with the book about an inch away from my nose. WHAT A PAIN! Does Prima not get that not all Sims addicts are teenagers? Stupid, stupid book design, and stupid for future sales if Prima doesn't figure out that customers, like Sims, do grow older ...

I love to boogie!.......2007-01-23
As usual, this is the most wonderful, fulfilling, mesmerizing game out there! Thanks again, Sims creators! My daughter received this for Christmas, took it to her room, and we haven't seen her since. Just kidding! She loves it!
Ecellent information on the game........2006-12-25
These guides are worth every dollar if you want to get the most out of your game.
Much improvment over other Sims 2 guides.........2006-09-26
I've avoided purchasing Prima's other strategy guides for the Sims expansions because Prima has a habit of devoting half of their guides to the base game and the rest to the expansion pack. In the guide for Nightlife however they've improved. More than half of the guide is devoted to Nightlife: new socials, new characters, new relationships, new objects..etc. There's still information on the base game which could have been left out however overall I do recommend the guide. I don't have to skip over the first half of the book to find information on the expansion pack with this guide. Well done Prima thank you!
Ok, but not great.......2006-03-13
I hoped for more information about the game in general and less images of new products or objects from the game. There were not enough tricks and tricks included to make it worth the price.
Very good guide to The Sims 2 Nightlife.......2006-02-17
This book follows the same format as the other Prima guides to the Sims. It has lots of tips about game play and good overviews of how the new elements of the expansion pack work. It includes tables of objects, community lots, and new commands so that you can look items up fairly quickly during game play.
The primary negatives are the lack of an index (also missing in the other Prima guides) and the repeated use of the same graphics from the game over and over throughout the book.
Still, if you are a Sims 2 fan and have the Nightlife expansion pack this is a very helpful book.
Book Description

Everything you wanted to know and more.......2007-02-19
The only reason I didn't give this guide 5 stars is because the table of contents isn't set up very well. But it has tons of information to make a happy Sim or wreck havoc on the town!
Great expansion for Sims2.......2007-01-05
This was my 1st expansion pack that I bought to use w/Sims2 & it is a good look at what going to college is like, especially if you've never been the kind of person who never stayed on campus. This game shows all the kinds of ways for you sim to meet new people & socialize. The different places where you can do study or reasearch. This was my 1st choice when I looked at all the other expansion packs. I read what the other recommendations said & based my decision on that.
You need this if you want to get the most out of your game.......2006-12-25
There are things in the game that you just can't figure out on your own. This book will show you everything.
Total Time Saver.......2006-10-10
As other reviewers have noted, this guide does contain a complete reprint of the original game guide. However, having owned the original guide, there is one MAJOR difference. The University Guide has an INDEX. So if you share my frustration of constantly flipping through guides searching for a topic, this is definitely worth the money. The game is time-consuming enough without having to spend time searching through the guides. So even if you don't own the University Expansion Pack, I recommend purchasing this item if only to make the original guide easier to use and the information more accessible.
Worth it if you don't have the first guide!.......2006-10-07
I have been playing the Sims for sometime now and decided to get a guide for it. Having read the reviews and owning all the major expansion packs I decided to go for this one mainly because of the two for one deal. I have been amazed the amount of information it has been able to give me even though I have been playing for so long. The tips on personalities and careers etc I have found useful. I have really been able to maximize the game play. In the past I have always been doubtful whether guides were worth there money or was just a gimmick. But having now got the Sims University guide I would recommend it (but only if you don't have the first one). I am now considering buying others and discovering what other treats I have been missing.

An Excellent Guide.......2004-12-30
I purchased this guide day-before-yesterday at my local Wal-Mart, and I must say that I am incredibly satisfied. The guide provided a quick and easy tutorial for the game. This guide tells you how to improve your relationships with Sims, it includes a guide for the GBA version of the game as well as the GCN-PS2-XBOX version, a dizzying catalog of every object in the game, detailed descriptions of jobs and careers, and practically everything else that you need to know! A special section for GCN-GBA connectivity adds to the value. All in all, a must-buy if you are getting the game.
If You are New to the Sims, this book is a BIG help!.......2004-08-19
If you have never played the Sims' games, for computers or consoles, then this book will be quite helpful. The little instruction manual in the book was NOT good. This guide helps get you on track!
Sims Bustin' Out.......2004-02-02
I would deifinitely recommend this game to anyone who isn't video game whiz. It has many, many helpful hints, tips, and strategies. To make a long story short, this book has been extremely helpful to me, and will be very profitable to all you Sim lovers out there!
Must have for those who aren't TopNotch Players.......2004-01-05
If you are anything like me and aren't an ace with Video games but adore the Sims. Then you'll want this guide. This game has a lot of different goals you must attain to gain items/clothes/actions. Sometimes those things determine your progress in the game. As in certain goals allow you to go to different places Club/Gym/Etc.
This guide tells you a lot of the information about the game itself even with information on how other Sims react to your actions. I play this game in stages and it's nice to have this guide to help me discover hidden items that you are supposed to search for or who to talk to accomplish certain things.
This book had enough information to help me learn the best way for me to play the game.
Now for the only thing I found lacking was a bit more description or hints for what is best to have or sell once you've completed skills, etc.
There are certain things that once you acquire them you'll want to have in all of the houses such as the Miss Gyrotic, the Gourmet stove and Hellagraphix (all items that have to be unlocked). Once you have these items it makes pleasing your Sims much easier.
Luckily this guide tells you were those items are and how to gain them.
For a game guide I find this one very thorough and I'm glad I have it to go with my game.
I highly recommend it if you own or are planning on buying the Sims Bustin out game. Also even if you just rent it it's worth the $12 for the book
Wonderful but not great.......2003-12-30

Great as always!.......2007-10-03
I'm a huge Sims fan so I usually love every expansion EA comes out with but this one is especially great. I love taking my Sims on vacation and they've come up with some fun things for your Sims to do. I like the fact that I can decide how long the vacation will be and when we will leave and so on. If you're a fan of the game I would highly recommend this expansion.
It's Great.......2007-09-28
I love this Prima guide. Without it I'd still be bumbling around trying to find all of the great stuff that's to be had in this EP.
