I know what you mean. The novelty kind of wears off very quickly, and you're back to just using the game the way you did before AL came out. There isn't much to it really, as far as I can see. Basically, it's UNI dorms but on neighbourhood lots with a few extras thrown in. Only advantage I can see so far is that you can have roomates, which with hacks eventually will enable players to have non-selectable sims in a household. Other than that, phrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. LOL
