Your Sims Get Down To Business
Now your Sims can create their own businesses. They can design their own clothing boutique, beauty salon, florist, high-end electronics shop, bustling restaurant chain, or virtually any other type of business. Hire your staff as the business grows and put talented Sims to work making toys, running the register, crafting floral bouquets, giving sales pitches, or manufacturing robots. But watch out for slacker employees and be prepared to fire them on the spot. From clever tinkerer to master craftsman, develop your Sim's talents to best suit your business needs. Will they build a thriving business empire or become eccentric entrepreneurs designing the next big thing?

yes its confirmed as released to stores on the 23rd in some countries. North America is still waiting for it. Personally I feel the added difficultly in this expansion could seriously damage the franchise in terms of level of rabid sheep fans.
While it might actually make the game more enjoyable for those who can grasp how things work, its going to add to the frustration the average player suffers. If you've spent any time at The Sims 2 BBS you know that a lot of them can barely operate a mouse let alone manage a complex business system.
Maxis is slowly pushing up the system requirements with each release. I believe they are listed the same as Nightlife, but early reports suggest this slows things down considerably. No doubt there are a host of bugs and poor optimizations to partly blame.[/quote]

Yes I meant to correct that. Its the first EP in 5 to be a single CD, so its an easy mistake to make.
