Storyline

This is an add-on for the Sims that adds a whole new dimension to the game. Finally you are able to do what the name suggests: take time off from the daily routine of working and eating and go downtown, to meet friends and make new acquaintances, all for the price of a $50 taxi ride. There are now 40 new ways to interact with other sims and you can flirt the nights away... because time stands still while you enjoy yourself.
