Apartment Life- EP 8?

[lewisb40]

I have been seeing info on line about a new EP called Apartment Life. If you google Sims 2 apartment life, there's alot of discussions come up. According to snootysims the unconfirmed date is September 2008.

I have been reading this thread about it. Just speculation and theories, but will be nice to have real apartment living finally. With the dorms and hotels features, I think this could have been a possibility a long time ago.

All of this based on a single Swiss/German web-sales site that changed the name of the offered item not long after sims sites started mentioning it.  Rod Humble - the official EA Sims 2 mouth-piece (read as "paid liar" like Grima Wormtongue of Tolkien fame) said that Free Time was the last EP.  My best guess is that Sims Apartment Life is most likely going to be a free-standing game like Life Stories and more than likely not for the PC, probably some XBox or PS3 madness if Apartment Life is even made or even the real name of the product.

The name has been changed to EP 8 now - and from all I can see on every forum - this is the only site listing anything of the sort.  Usually you can rely on Amazon.com to list it if it's genuine.

The same Swiss/German site lists Stuff Pack 8 - so who knows - but this late in the life arc of the game - I can't imagine they'd do very much for us - it's not like I expect to see Makin' Magic, Superstar or anything particularly cool out of EA only weeks before the release of TS3.

I agree with beosboxboy, it would be for xbox,ps3 etc. Since the official EA Sims2 said that Free Time was the last EP. If this may be true, I would love to have it.

They wouldnt do it for us, but for their own wallet. I´d buy it anyways.:happy8:
You really believe it will be released on time?:smt120 you have some trust...

I think it sounds interesting and if they make a console version I will probably buy it...I spent weeks playing the Urbs on my Gamecube and I loved it,os if it is anything like that I think I want it.

A person posted about this on another forum and I just saw this at SnootySims.

I just saw that as well Junin and was about to post it as well lol.

Thank you for that post, Junin, that pretty much cinches it then - Apartment Life is the 8th EP, even if they change the name, it will be dealing with multi-family residences.

Maybe it will have stacks of flats that operate a bit like the university dorms or Bon Voyage hotels: you control one or more Sims in one or more flats and the rest gets greyed out. *shrug*

Lewisb40 - with this new confirmation, I am making this topic a sticky

Hmm...could be interesting, but I don't know. Though, I'd heard rumours EA was going to sneak in another EP before Sims 3 was released. *shrugs*

This is good news to me appartment life will rock!

[lewisb40]

Wow, I have made "sticky status". Woohoo! LOL, that was some good info, Junin. Thanks. Now I can put my apartment buildings to use in my game. I always wanted that.

Lewis, although you always inspire me, I still have to say: FEH (even if now it's a tentative FEH)!

I like the idea, I have a feeling of foreboding though the whole concept sounds too 'complicated' for them to carry off (what with their very rigorous testing ), I guess that means I won't be getting FreeTime (yeah right :liar:).
