Very Helpful
I'm an extremely obsessive Sims2 fan, who spends every free second on the game (apart from now). I was very excited when I heard about the new expansion pack, Open for Business, and pre-ordered it straight away.
When it arrived though, I found the expansion very hard to control and use successfuly. However, the extra items that it came with were very handful, so I kept the game loaded on my laptop.
I decided to buy the strategy guide, because I really wanted to use the expansion properly, and purchased this book.
The book was brilliant and showed you what everything meant, how to use it, and run a successful business. I now have many businesses, and it is a great addition to the game.
The book walks you through everything, with helpful hints and notes. There are even a few cheats to help you along.
Now you can run that busines of your dreams if you too didn't quite understand the game, or, if you do understand the game and can use it well, you can use this book for those extra bits of information, like all the new furniture and items, every type of business you can create, what items you need for each business, cheats, new families' info and useful information you probably didn't know.
Have fun!

Another great success from Prima!!
When I bought the first Sims 2 game, I knew that I would be stuck - on most things more than anything. When I heard about the release of Open for Business, and looked at videos on the official website, the amount of new controls was unbelieveable, so I recently bought this book, so that I could prepare myself for the game release.

It is packed with exciting new tips, cheats, help and basic information which can help you and your Sims reach the top of the business ladder. With jobs such as cafetrias, hairdressers, toy stores, clothing and accessories and much more, this game has to be the best one yet.

In the actual game, there are also new social interactions, clothes, hairstyles and different stages, which will excite all players. Buy the Guide and you will be even better than you think you are.

Go Prima!!!!!

Complete and Concise guide to Sim Business.
Well here we are another expansion for Sims 2 and another Prima Guide.
If I was to recommend ANY of the guides it would be this one. Its not because this one is any better written or contains more juicy snippets of useful information (they all are very good) The reasoning is simply this. Open for Business is a far more complex add on and as such has a steeper learning curve. This guide really helps your Sims get their business on its feet.
So if you have Open for Business I can wholeheartedly recommend this Prima Guide.
