Product Description

 
The Sims are getting down to business! In The Sims 2: Open for Business Expansion Pack, your Sims can create virtually any kind of business, from a trendy clothing boutique, hip beauty salon, blooming floral shop, high-end electronics store, or bustling restaurant chain. Your Sims will have to hire the staff, train the employees, and as the business grows, assign the most talented Sims to work on a variety of projects such as making toys, arranging a floral boutique or manufacturing robots. From clever tinkerer to master craftsman, you’ll develop your Sim’s talents to best suit your business needs. As a savvy entrepreneur, your Sims must keep an eye out for slacker employees and be prepared to fire them as quickly as you hired them. Will your Sims be the largest fashion retailer around, build an innovative business empire or launch the next BIG thing?

Fun game One of the businesses included in this expansion pack is a basic bakery. We have enlarged the bakery, hired employees, and added many baked goods to the inventory. Will our business be a success? The Sims 2: Open for Business Expansion Pack, PC Games, Video Games & Systems
