Another great section of sims!
I am yet another a Sims fanatic. Since I had already had experience with sims and a little experience with sims 2, I still found starting out kind of hard, but it gets much easier.
I have not had many bugs. There is only one that I have had and it's really small: If the open/closed sign is not on the door, customers cannot enter the building. Other than that, this game has no other bugs that I have run into (so far.) I'm so glad I bought this part of sims 2! This is a great game and a must buy for experienced sims players. If you're a rookie, wait a little while, then get the game. It's worth it.

I almost didn't even buy it
I am a huge Sims freak. For months I just looked at OFB sitting on the shelf thinking that I wasn't really all that interested....maybe I wouldn't get this one....but then Pets came out and I got hit by the desire not to have missed one of the expansions and not wanting to have to start from scratch if I ever got OFB later and would have to reinstall the whole Sims block on my hard drive. So I bought it, and ohh man, I wish I had gotten it sooner. Now I've got dozens of ideas of cool new businesses and I don't know where to start. The actual game play of running the businesses is totally different than I had envisioned it. It's Sims in a whole new way, it adds a new dimension in how we as players, and our play style, effect the outcome and success of our Sims. For once, our timing and choices in dictating Sim behaviors/interactions actually become a key part in the success of the business. It also add an aspect of real business management, deciding pay wages, trade skills, employee duties. It's still Sims, with all the same wonderfully addictive feel and game play, but it's in a whole new arena and more challenging. Same great car, new street to drive on. I recommend it to any Sim-ers. Even if you decide against actually running a business in game, your Sims will still love all the new shops, actions, items, and so forth.

Awesome Game
A very great sims the best so far that I have! I have had The Sims 2 Open For Business for about Two months now and I love this game so much and I have had my sims buy stores or start a home business. One thing I dont like about this game is when business people come and usualy say my business is bad and they will let others be aware that my business is bad. I recomend this game two all I hope they like it as much as I do
