I haven’t played Apartment Life in quite a while because I lost the damn game disc.  Luckily, I found the thing under my printer.  Go figure.

Anyway, I’m finally getting a chance to dig into the game and managed to score “myself” a pretty sweet apartment with a garage.

One thing that I discovered that I thought was pretty cool is the fact that you can customize the front door of your apartment along with the “welcome mat”.  That seems like such a tiny little detail but since you could do something similar in University, I guess that it only makes sense that you would be able to do it in Apartment Life.

“My” likes are Success/Hard Worker and Witchiness.  My goal is to find a hot warlock who’s damn good at his job.

Every one’s gotta have a goal.  Right?

This download comes complete with five different recolours of the electric guitar that comes in University.

A note from the developer:

“…you have to buy the guitar first and then recolour it with the proper tool in the game, you can’t buy it recoloured …”

I just realized that I haven’t done a formal introduction and that makes me look like a bit of a looser.

Hi. My name is Amy and that picture above this rambling mess is my family. Well, kind of. The animals and husband are right but my daughter is actually only 15 months old. However, I didn’t feel like dealing with a toddler Sim when I created this lovely family.

I’ve been playing The Sims since the original Sims and have all of the expansions…though I’m really not quite sure what happened to all of them.

Sims 2 was a big step and I can’t believe that I used to love the original Sims so much.

I’m split on what my favorite Sims 2 expansion is.

University is pretty freakin’ cool since it allows you to live [or relive] your college days but I also really like Nightlife because of the cars. And then of course is Pets and Seasons. I really just can’t choose. Though some expansions have been “better” than others, each has added a new layer of play.

I got Bon Voyage yesterday [I know I'm late to the party] and I’m excited to see what new things it has to offer. You’ll notice that the clothes that the family is wearing are from Vacation.

My plans for Sim Gamer are this. I want to increase the downloadable content. I love finding really great custom items and Sims and I also love to share them. Of course, Sims news is a must, but news doesn’t happen everyday with this game. So, I’ll report it as I find it. The Architectural Challenge is kind of up in the air right now. I’m waiting on news about it myself, so you’ll know something when I do.

Each Wednesday, I participate in “Wordless Wednesday”. It’s a great way to bring new people to the site and if you guys have some stuff that you’d like for me to showcase of Wednesdays, drop me an email and I’ll happily oblige.

That’s about it folks.

Are there anythings that you would like to see more of?
