Should apartment pets be a sub-section here or it's own page? --Kuriza (talk) 05:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Don't act like kids...[edit]
The main problem on this article seems to be, that some of the sentences are written in non-serious English, I even found a :-) sign after one of the described spells for witches... I mean, smilies are for chatrooms, forums or fansites, not for serious encyclopedias. The page should be edited so it looks like a real page, not like a playground for 7-year-olds. :-)There are also sentences and whole blocks of text copied from fansites, it can be that this is the main reason for the 'language', if you look at certain fan-made articles about the game, especially those from the California Event, you find almost the same text as here. I will try to improve the page with more serious and informative text if no one disagrees. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.78.46.83 (talk) 11:44, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- The problem with this article though is that most people are just copying the information from the Sims2.com website word by word. Hardly any of this article is freshly written. Jammy (talk) 11:48, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- I totally agree. The article might contain some usefull information, but the way the information is presented just doesn't seem like a real encyclopedia article, but more that of an advert. -Jort227 (talk) 12:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

rewrite[edit]
I rewrote the article to minimize any copyright violations result from copy/pasting from fansites. I also standardized the English (the oldest portion of the article used American conventions, so that's what I stuck with), copy-edited, removed information about 'new objects' which sound a lot like old objects, wikified relevant links, and explained a few things better for readers who may not be longtime fans of the series.
I hope all this helped. I think it did. Let me know. Aylad['ɑɪlæd] 19:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- You did a good job, if you were part of the Sims Wikiproject I would give you a wikiproject barnstar, but sadly you are not... Jammy (talk) 20:11, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
I've inserted a reference list, which I think the article definitely needs, and I've added some citations. I'll admit they're not the best sources to be referring to, but it's a starting point. --Snipes (talk) 16:25, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
Source for info[edit]
Sims 2 Apartment Life Mac Download
This source has a lot of information for this expansion pack. I hope that it's a valid reference. [1] I'd add it to the article myself but I'm not sure where or how to put it.58.179.65.189 (talk) 00:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Bad dates[edit]
Here you say it'll be released in europe on the 28th, while in the The Sims 2 article, you say it's the 29th! which is it?—Supuhstar *§ 19:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
a question[edit]
Hi. Has it been confirmed that Apartment Life will be the final EP?--59.101.138.7 (talk) 00:43, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
--MaxoidShannon mentioned in an interview that there are currently no plans for further expansions, so Apartment Life will apparently be the final expansion pack. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.57.35.176 (talk) 17:54, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Requirements[edit]
do you need internet to install or play this expansion pack. It says internet connection required on the bottom part of the cover at the back. The others didn't need internet. Is it just needed to download new objects or other things that you don't really need?Darkside2000 (talk) 10:40, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Darkside2000 (talk) 10:38, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
how many cd or dvd's is the program ?[edit]
how many cd's or dvd''''''s .. Is the game on cd or dvd ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.75.69.150 (talk) 02:29, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
It doesn't Require Internet[edit]
I finally took a chance and bought the game and it doesn't require internet. The info that it does is wrong.Darkside2000 (talk) 12:38, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
