'''''The Sims 2: Apartment Life''''' (also known as '''''TS2 AL''''' and '''''Apartment Life''''') is the eighth and the last [[expansion pack]] for ''[[The Sims 2]]''. It was released on August 26, 2008. It's notable that apartments, despite the name, isn't the biggest asset of the game. Most community-requested features, including magic, butlers, ceilings, etc. are added. This is also the last [[Expansion pack]] to support [[Wikipedia:Windows 98|Windows 98]]/[[Wikipedia:Windows Me|Me]] and [[wikipedia:Windows 2000|Windows 2000]] while Mansion and Garden is the last Sims game (and EA's final game) to support those versions of Windows.
==Description==
''Your Sims are moving into a brand-new apartment, and their lives will never be the same! Adventure, fun, and drama await them as they meet new people and explore their new neighborhood. Will they take their kids to the local playground, mingle in coffee shops, or hit the park to learn from the breakdancers? Close quarters mean new opportunities-move in with compatible roomies for a thriving social life, advance your career with the right social network, or find true love just down the hall. Whether they live in artsy converted lofts, the ultimate studio bachelor pads, or luxury apartments with their own butler, your Sims will experience all of the excitement of apartment life!''

Belladonna Cove will be the neighborhood added. "Bella donna" means "beautiful lady" in Italian and may be named after [[Bella Goth]]. Belladonna is also another name for deadly nightshade, a highly poisonous plant often used in malevolent witchcraft. The neighborhood contains apartment lots as well as normal [[residential lot|residential]] and [[community lot]]s.

== Apartment lots ==
{{Main|Apartment}}
"Apartments" are a new type of lot for Sims to reside. The player cannot create their own apartment lots without cheats. It's notable that apartment lots
Every Monday, rent must be paid, either via mailbox, or collected by the [[landlord]]. The rent amount is determined by the size of the apartment and the quality of appliances. If a Sim rented an unfurnished apartment, the rent will not go up when it is furnished. If a Sim can't pay their rent, the landlord will submit the total for collection and the [[Repo-man]] will come and take stuff that adds up to the amount of the bills that weren't paid.
Line 68 ⟶ 70:
The [[life state]] added in ''Apartment Life'' is a witch. Witches can be male or female, and are divided into seven groups: Infallibly Good, Good, Nice, Neutral, Mean, Evil and Atrociously Evil. These groups are determined by the Witch's "alignment". The differences between these alignments include appearance, types of spells cast, items created, and title. Teens through elders can be witches.
"Regardless of the path a Sim chooses to take, all witches get access to a secret community lot inhabited by the High Witch of Light or the High Witch of Darkness."<ref>[http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/sims-2-apartment-life/893673p2.html GameSpy: Sims 2 Apartment Life Preview]</ref> There are individual High Witches of Light and Dark uniquely generated for each
