The Sims 2: Open for Business Cheats for PC

Ever since the release of the original Sims game, even prior to all its expansions, gamers have been clamoring to follow their Sims to work. The Sims: Superstar was a nice first step, asking players to give a little effort to helping their Sims climb the ladder of being a celebrity, but something was missing.

Enter The Sims 2: Open For Business. You want your own hours? Done. You want unlimited income potential? Done. You want to hire employees and deal with all the fun of a Tycoon game without a stereotypical horrid interface? Done.

Ah, but dont think this is as simple as a Microsoft buyout. Youll need some skill, both for yourself and your Sims, to truly succeed in business. Its not easy, even if youre a veteran Sims player, to make thousands of simoleons. Also, just like reality, no business will start at the top of its game, and it will take a long time to evolve into the Sims version of a corporate empire.

Still, the challenges of business are nothing we at IGN cant handle. (Well, simulated
business anyway. If we had the chance to have Bill Gatess income in reality, do you think wed still be here?) Turn the pages here to find all the information you need to start a business, hire help, turn profits, and pass the business (and buck) to the younger generation.
