Great addition to the series
The new "Dream Date" element was an excellent game mechanic. Albeit easy to achieve top status, it is a fun way to advance a relationship faster than the regular way.
Cars are a welcome addition to the core game mechanic, allowing you a faster way to travel to and from work or community lots.
The additional items also add to the game to make it more immersive. The bowling lane is a particular favourite of mine.
This game is a solid addition and an excellent building block onto the inevitable other expansions of the Sims 2
