YES! I agree! I just bought The Sims 2 again simply to play Open for Business. I love the challenge of running a business and the feeling of accomplishment as you see it grow.
It is absolutely my favorite expansion pack. I could go on and on about it!
I agree and no matter how persistent fans were they NEVER really gave us OFB in TS3. I have kinda gave up hope, why? Because yes TS3 did try to address it with premium content items from the store but it never truly lived up to what OFB was all about. The series is supposed to get better features, not worse. Leaving out crucial features like restocking, training cashiers, having a home business while living on the actual business lot. Small to some but huge huge features that sim players will never forget. To me, a simmer since day 1..cannot live without running a business so with a collection of mods do the best I can in TS3. But it's not the same! Please don't make us wait an eternity. Please bring back OFB with a vengeance.
Completely agree! The premium content thing with the store really turned me off for awhile. Make the expansion packs, don't charge people for separate features that would be included in all one pack.
OFB was just okay to me. I really wanted to like it, but I could never feel as passionately about it as some. That stated, it would be interesting to see it reworked for the new generation of Sims. It's not at the top of my list for expansion wishes, but I would definitely rather give my sims the ability to run their own businesses as opposed to endowing them and the world with magical and supernatural abilities/features/creatures. I like to play as close to reality as possible, and if done right, businesses could add a cool dimension to the game. The Careers EP that's speculated to be next sounds cool, but so did Ambitions, which turned out to be not as great as the hype. I'm choosing to be optimistic that this time, the developers will expand on what works and change what doesn't.
They aren't going to do that because they want we want it to bad... and that we actually have been asking for it since TS3 first launched a pack. That is a cold hard truth sadly.
This expansion was mentioned in the October survey, so it's possible that we will get it.

*gives charmingly innocent smile*
I just read the Town Life description in the other thread and these two ideas combined pretty much make EXACTLY my style of gameplay.
I really hope they don't make us wait for long on this one. I was so disappointed we didn't get OFB for TS3, I don't think I could put myself through the pain of waiting again.
I really hope for this expansion as well, is my favourite of TS 2. I think we are more likely to get the EP in TS 4 because of the lot set up. Could you imagine ts3 and an empty shops. My lots weren't empty because I had twallans SP but I if left to EA SP was pretty sad for visitors. Here's hoping...
