.co.uk Review ------------- In a nutshell: Help your Sims start their own business. From toy shops to restaurants, the world is your oyster - buy a plot of land and then fashion an empire to make Alan Sugar belch. The lowdown: The idea of a Sims business tycoon game may seem odd, but this is a surprisingly fun and accessible expansion. Although you can stay at home and create items to sell, most businesses are run from a new shopping centre area, which you can also visit separately. To run a shop you buy objects as normal, and then display and price them individually, or in bulk for your store. Running a restaurant or other service is more a case of creating the right mood with furniture and staff. You can hire and fire employees as you want, but it’s worth being as hands-on as you can because you gain a wide range of new skills from the work you do. Most satisfying moment: Starting with a lemonade stand and building up your business empire until you can afford to buy any plot of land in town. Since you ask: As well as all the business tycoon elements the game also features 125 new items, including display cases, workbenches, cash registers and more. The bottom line: Another surprisingly generous and innovative expansion pack.
