Summary: A bit disappointing
Review: The pac was not as good as I thought it would be. Push come to shove I'd buy it again. Thing is I never even bother to have a party anymore. It's just not that much fun. By the time you get everything set up your Sim is too tired anyway. Your best bet is to #1 skip work that day and set up everything before you invite the guests. If the guests would interact more it would have been more fun. But maybe I just didn't give it a fair enough shake. Anyway the pack is worth getting just for the extra decorating stuff, skins etc.. One piece of advice, don't purchase the magic lamp or the crystal ball. The magic lamp apparently lets loose "cockroaches" that begin as "flies". The annoying little buzzing they make drove me insane. They sound exactly like the flies that gather when a Sim leaves out a plate. The only way to get rid of them is to evict everyone from their houses and tear them down. The darn crystal ball starts leaving these annoying little messages on the phone. Trust me just don't get these two going cause you WILL regret it.

Summary: This Game is Awesome!!
Review: The Sims Expansion: Livin' Large is an awesome game! It adds SOOO much more to the Sims! Don't you get kinda tired of having the SAME Sims in the SAME town wake up, eat, shower, go to work, come home, eat, have some fun, go to sleep? Livin' Large adds MORE!! You get 4 extra towns for MORE Sims, you get MORE awesome skins, and new carreers! Plus, there are TONS MORE OBJECTS!!! (they say over 100 on the box...) This game includes so many new features, I don't know where to start. Oh, and I forgot about the new building styles! You can now make themed houses and neighborhoods. (I am a complete medieval freak, so the Castle themes were great!)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good! But there's not much that's new....
Review: The Sims was some real good fun. Livin' Large (the expansion pack) is as well. I can certainly see why there have supposedly been people who have gotten so addicted that they lose their jobs (I know a friend who would be at this level if she wasn't still in school). The only thing that keeps this product from getting five stars is the lack of new features. Livin' Large certainly spices up the game, breathing new life into a product which is getting a little old....

While do you get several new neighborhoods (to allow for more houses and families), you cannot have people from one neighborhood interact with another. As a more minor point, all of the new neighborhoods physically look are the same-until you start changing them while building. I got Livin' Large thinking that I would get to relive the experince I had when I got The Sims all over again. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

Livin' Large felt very similar to The Sims, and while there were some new objects and decorations, it didn't feel like that much more. The new careers were kind of nice, but different careers doesn't have that much impact on the gameplay (besides your goals, clothing, and salary). Foretunately, the lack of an abundance of new objects, skins, and decorations can be made up for by downloading user made ones from the internet.

So, overall I felt that Livin' Large didn't exactly made my Sims "live larger." If I went back in time with this knowledge, I would choose to get Livin' Large again. It certainly improves bits of the game and is a worthy expansion pack for any Sims owner. I would just have my expectations lower.

Summary: the sims!!!!excellent game by barry
Review: This game is everything you would expect from Will Wright after making such brilliant games like the sim city series with e.a. After i played the sims for a long time, just going to work and going to bed gets pretty boring until I pressed ctrl+shift+the button left of the space bar+c and then typed rosebud. I got a million bucks!!!!!!! Yes all the time I had been typing klapaucius hoping for millions but now i got it with rosebud(mac). Overall if you like games such as the sim city series get this game. You'll love the sims.

Summary: This game is alot different than the other games!
Review: This game is the best of the best Sims games there ever were.
There is one thing wrong. I had to get my cousin a birthday present for her birthday. She had all the Sims games exept for one which is this game. All the stores I went to they did not have it. So I went online to [a website]and they did not sell it on the internet. So I went to Amazon.com and they had it. I am also missing this game which I am in great need of it. I have all of them exept for one which is Livin' Large. This is my one concern about this item. Once the Deluxe Edition came out some stores did not carry this item in there stock. So I was very mad at that point.

Summary: Great Game!!!!
Review: This game was great!!! Me and my girlfriend played for hours on a borrowed copy of the Sims, and what ya know, the next day we went and bought 'Livin' Large' and for the past couple of days I haven't left the computer, and neither has she, pretty intresting huh. ;) Well, we are currently looking into getting Hot Date next, sometime this week, so we can be even more involved in the game!!! Peace out!
