Remember to assign it in your settings here so it shows what packs you have. I would not take too much notice of the Prima Guides they are quite out of date with some dangerous information. It's been over 10 years since EA published those.

I loved those guides. They were quite funny to read

update:: Pets and Seasons arrived at post office this morning. they would likely be brought home tonight.
Apartment Life still yet to ship. Amazon tells it would arrive sometime within 15th through 20th.

would update profile sometime after installing the respective packs.

author of all Sims2 Prima Guides is Greg Kramer. not sure if he (or if any of people that worked on the guides) ever worked for EA/Maxis.

I wouldn't think so - he also wrote game guides for completely different developers and publishers.

The process of writing strategy guides is pretty interesting, honestly. To get them out at the same time as the games are published, the writers get pre-release copies of them. Oftentimes things get changed around between the pre-release and release copies, which is why they can be stunningly inaccurate at times.
