The Sims 2 Nightlife is the second expansion pack in The Sims 2 series.
The game is reminiscent of an expansion pack from the original The Sims game entitled The Sims Hot Date, which focused on new social interactions and locations for Sims to visit, such as a dance club or romantic restaurant. Nightlife follows in a similar theme. It also follows The Sims House Party, in that you now have many of the objects given in House Party in Nightlife (DJ booth, dance floor, etc.).
New additions include inventories, new interactions, and over 125 new objects. NPCs that a player's Sim dates can now leave gifts or hate letters at the Sim's home, depending on the success of particular dates. Some of the new NPCs include party DJs, a Gypsy Matchmaker and Vampires.
Nightlife also adds a new aspiration. The Pleasure aspiration is assigned in exactly the same way as any of the other 5 aspirations. Sims with the Pleasure aspiration crave enjoyment in many different ways, whilst they fear embarrassment. Pleasure sims may receive wants such as 'juggle' and 'jump on lounge.' Nightlife has also introduced a new reward object titled the ReNuYu SensoOrb which will enable any Sim to have their aspiration changed at any time. However, this object can fail, like all other aspiration reward objects. If that happens, the Sim using it at the time will then have the Grilled Cheese Aspiration, and normal wants will be superseded with the urge to eat grilled cheese sandwiches.
In Nightlife, Sims can own their own cars instead of relying on the carpool or taxi. There are several models and colors available. In addition, driveways (mandatory for any residential lot to accommodate a car) and garages can be built into the Sim's lot. These can now be downloaded off thesims2.ea.com
Also you can design new, more customized swimming pools. Included is a new diagonal shaped swimming pool tool, which can be used to create extensive shapes not previously possible. However, the pool ladder and diving board may only be attached to pool tiles square on to the lot.
The lot mode has been expanded in Nightlife, so that it is possible to view the neighborhood from a lot. Players may leave one lot to play another without having to go back to the neighborhood mode. It is still impossible, however, for a Sim to invite himself or herself to another lot.
