Video Game Reviews of The Sims 2: Apartment LifeCustomer Review: Don't be terrified by Securom. Just cautious. Summary: 5 StarsFirst, if you have Sims 2 Double Deluxe, you have securom in your computer.
I just started into the Sims franchise and am loving it. I got the Double Deluxe pack as it was the only way to get the base game. I enjoyed it so much I started to look into the expansions. The reviews warning against securom locked expansions almost scared me away from some great expansions. I have not had any trouble with the securom DRM software myself, but obviously your mileage may vary. So don't be scared off by the securom software reviews, chances are if you're playing the sims2, you already have it.
As far as the game goes, I really like this expansion. The witches/warlocks are cool, especially when combined with vampires. Making potions and reagents is draining on your sim, but not any more than any other activity. Some of the new items are great space-savers: bed-in-a-wall, closet/mirror, spiral stairs, etc. And the new system that gives you simoleans(cash) based on how many family members you have when you create a new family is great. It makes it much easier to start with large families. Oh, you can now silence or screen calls on your sim's phone, so you don't get calls in the middle of the night or while the baby is napping.
All in all, a great expansion along with Open for Business, Seasons, and Nightlife.
