Apartment Life First Thoughts

I FINALLY got my copy of Apartment Life in last night and had a chance to play it for about an hour this morning. Keep in mind that it was about 8am when I got said chance. Also, I only got as far as creating myself and moving into a kickass apartment before I had to turn the game off.
SO, this really is a “first look”.
The first thing that I noticed about the game was the music. It almost put me to sleep. I’m used to some upbeat music when my Sims game is loading. What happened? Why so sleepy? [Maybe I just needed some more coffee...]
There are some really great new everyday outfits and the green dress that “I’m” wearing in the picture is one of the many new things that your sim can wear. [I think there are three different color versions of the green dress.]
If you were hoping for some really great new formal attire then you’re going to be disappointed but you can just search Sims Gamer for ball gowns and get a butt load of great custom content. There are several new workout outfits if that’s your thing.
You get a new turn-on/turn-off of being interested in witches/warlocks. [It's one of my turnons and I'll let you know how that turns out for me.]
Once I got past the character creator, the game reminded me of University. The layout of the apartments took a bit of getting used to but a very nice neighbor gave me a computer so things can’t be all bad. Right?
There’s a new feature that you can utilize in the buy/build mode: the 45 degree view. I clicked the button and ended up with a SUPER close up of my sims’s butt. You’ve been warned; the 45 degree view takes some getting used to.
Like I said earlier, I didn’t get very far and as you know, an hour isn’t a very long time to play so expect at least one more update.
