No. Only in apartment life.
Yes, you can have houses and apartments.
no
wrong you dont need every single pack only the first or dubble delux not the special edition, "extra" ones, but to play a delux such as sims apartments, you need every single pack before that to play sims apartments.
you have to put furniture in the apartments when you build them.
No, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 are two separate games.
You can't add them, your Sim will automatically get them when something memorable happens to them.
Sims Castaway is a totally separate game.
You can, but make sure the apartment life you get isn't expansion pack. Also apartment life is more fun with all the other expansion packs.
I would have 2 say sims 2 university. You get a new age group (young adults). When you graduate you get a HUGE boost on your career when you get home, it's awesome! As well as this you get loads of new clothes and hair styles. Sims 2 seasons is really good, but to me, university is better!
you'll need the expansion apartment life, or else it's not availble 177
Not on The Sims 2 for PS2 but you can on The Sims 2 Pets for the PS2(and for the DS.PSP.Wii).If you have a the regular Sims 2 for the PC,you can add the Sims 2 Petsexpansion pack and adopt or buy pets.I hope this come in handy.
Your sims will become mermaids/mermen
