The Sims 2 Open For Business is my favorite expansion pack. I always wanted to get into retail as a kid. Obviously Amazon and the internet in general has changed the world since my youth. Its also funny how TS2 OFB is superior to TS4 GTW retail system. So much more customization, depth, and content to play with in TS2 OFB.

Hi everyone! As someone who was born in 2001 and only discovered the existence of this franchise when I was about 14 or 15, I never played The Sims or The Sims 2, either when it came out or afterwards. So I’m very excited for this re-release, but I hope that, in addition to HD graphics (but faithful to the originals), there will be accessibility settings that give players like me the opportunity to play with controls identical to those in The Sims 4, such as camera controls for example. In any case, I’m looking forward to it!
