Love the add-on but was taken aback when I could no longer use my awesome cheat codes to obtain more financial support for my Sims, etc. I truly enjoy the new characters, Sim skins, etc. I also noticed that some of the employment opportunties earned less money than in the original Sims game. I am disappointed that the Sims never seem to get a day off and also have cockroaches showing up, even in the cleanest houses. Definitely purchase this, if you don't mind not being able to use the cheat codes for the original game. Sooner or later, they'll come out with new ones.
