What Parents Need to Know
About The Sims 2: Open for Business
Parents need to know that teens can set up pretty odd businesses, such as a bar/spa/bubble-blowing hookah hang-out. Teens can create bars/nightclubs, and they can also place photo booths where Sims can have sex. They can also get jealous and angry and fights can break out. This expansion pack requires The Sims 2 to play.

Fun for 13 year olds
I think sims 2 is a fun game that sparks the mind. I have fun running my own restaurant with the family I made. I even made my best friends family who own their own car dealership.
