 Freetime great for My Busy Simmies!! July 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Even though my sims people in my game have extremely busy lives I wanted this pack oh so much, not just because I have all the Sims games anyways but cos of all the fun things my simmies can do, so at the weekends they do all their fun and family types things. But with this packs diversity you can also use it in a different way for exanple a soccer mom, could watch her kids play soccer, like they do at school events, and if you have Open for Business you can have a clothes shop where the clothes are made on the sewing machine then sold, also pottery shop, a garage (home business) to do up scrap cars and sell them on to buyers. I love this game so very much and play it very often if you are a sims fan i am sure you will love it too, taking into consideration the other packs do make this a more enjoyable pack on its own people may find it not as good, but as i said though I love it!!
Happy Simming
 not very interesting July 7, 2008
I am a massive sims fan and have all the expansion packs, this one compared to others such as University, or bon voyage is not really that interesting. with all the other expansion packs there have been loads of things to do to keep you hooked, this one however bored me after only a couple of plays with it. this is because apart from a few extra hobbies and career paths theres not much else to it, no big adventure or whole other area to visit (as in bon voyage, nightlife, uni etc) I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the next one 'apartment life' is better!
 Not my favourite of the Sims 2 expansion packs March 19, 2008

I own and love every single Sims 2 game but I don't feel that this makes as big a difference as some of the others, such as University for example.
Your Sims are now able to pursue a variety of interests. Such as tinkering, and art and dance. To keep a Sim interested in a talent they have to keep working at it.
Once the Sim has gained enough interest in a certain area, for example, cuisine. They will first have the option of researching this hobby on the internet and in newspapers and also talking about it with other Sims. They will then be called and asked if they wish to subscribe to a magazine. You can of course say no to this and then subscribe at a later date.
Once the Sim has gained enough expertise in their area they will be given a membership card which allows them to visit a secret club. If they are interested in cuisine, they will be invited to Sue's Secret kitchen where they can enter food contests in hops of winning a cash prize.
Every Sim has a natural ability, but it may take a while to find out what this is. But once you find it that Sim will let you know how much they are enjoying the activity.
As the Sim gains enthusiasm in a hobby they gain rewards. If someone is interested in nature for example they will soon have the option to go hiking.
There are also more jobs available. Like choreographer and comedian.
All in all another good Sims game.

 Securom March 14, 2008

I love the Sims and the Sims 2. I have every expansion pack available, however the last I cannot bring myself to purchase. Securom was added to the last pack (Bon Voyage) and I feel my computer was damaged by this the programme. I would love to buy Freetime but I do not want to damage it further. Type securom into a search engine and see the affects.
