Summary: Sims House party
Review: To tell you the truth it sucked.The items are cool(bubble chair ect.....)But you could hardly build a good home if you already have a full house with many other items.And the partys are confusing because to many people come and you have no clue who you are meeting!

Rating: 5 stars

Review: When i first found the sims it was in my dad's office.
I looked at it i was amazed:it was the present i was dreaming of for years and years and now i had it in my hands it was mine, all mine!!!I did'nt ask him for it but he just bought it like that but did i tell you that it was only the sims original(because you need the sims original,Deluxe,Double Deluxe or Sims 2 to make an expansion pack work.
So i became a BIG fan of sims and my first expansion pack that i had for my Birthday was The Sims: House Party Expansion Pack
by Electronic Arts.

But i remind you to visit sims.com and Tripleeagle.net for a nice relaxed day!!!

Summary: Party Hardy!
Review: Woo! House Party! This is just another great expansion pack from Maxis for the Sims! It's not my favorite, but still well worth the cost, especially these days. You can get this in the "Sims Double Deluxe" package nowadays though - which includes the original "The Sims" and "Livin' Large" as well as "House Party."

This is the one expansion pack I haven't been able to master though. Having a great party is really hard! At least for me! This pack adds a ton of new items to the game, most of which are GREAT for parties. They add a DJ booth, dance floor and speakers so you can have a Sim Night Club at your house - great for those Sims who loves to dance! Also added are other group items, like a bubble machine which my Sims seem to love. Whenever I have a party people flock to that bubble machine!

Other fun additions include a mechanical bull (Sim Urban Cowboys.. yeeeeee haw!), a costume trunk (toga party!), a huge party cake (with dancer inside!) and a campfire (Kumbaya!). One of the coolest additions is the ability to hire a caterer! Then you don't have to worry about feeding and cleaning up after your party guests. Unfortunately the caterer is a bit annoying and gets chatty sometimes instead of doing his work!

There are some benefits to throwing a great party. If your party is lame.. you'll get a mime. For some reason.. the mime comes to all my parties :/ My Sims must not be very good party animals! The better the party, the better the "surprise" guest who will show up. I've yet to have the ultimate surprise guest show up .. but I'm still striving for it. Some day!

Anyways, this is a very fun expansion pack and well worth getting. These days it's fairly cheap, and it includes so many new items that they are alone worth the cost. I highly recommend it.

Summary: dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: good game. i have lotsa sims games but i think house party is the best. it has really cool items and i love having sims games. if ur party is really good then someone special (*cough*drew carey *cough*) comes in his limo to ur party and if its really bad, then a mime comes. there are also these other people who come and they're pretty much party crashers. they clog ur toilets and stuff like that so when they come, ask them to leave. I cant remember their names right now but one person has purple hair blah blah blah. REALLY GOOD GAME!

Summary: a must have for sim collectors =]
Review: The Sims House Party Expansion Pack is a must have for Sims Collectors. It adds tons of new interactions to the game. Here are some awesome things about House Party

+ Throwing the party of the year is only a simple phone call away.
+ You can hire a caterer who will mingle with your guests, refill the buffet table and punch bowl, and clean up after your garbage for the whole day.
+ Your Sims have new ways to entertain yourself with such objects such as the bubble blower (seats four), sing songs and roast marshmellows (an adorable sight, really) with the campfire (seats 8), play a huge game of Charades with an unlimited amount of people, and more!
+ Have the Sims dress up from the Costume chest from Togas to Beachwear, it has it all!!!
+ Host a slammin` dance, DJ booth and flashing floors, even the cages! *wink wink...

If you have a party that's not very bumpin` the mime will come and bring down your party even more. He will try and try to entertain your guests (and fail time after time). If you have a pretty good party, party crashers will come and eat your food and break items around the house... but if you have a truly awesome party a celebrity guest will come in a limo and have the guests chatter the night away!!!

Here are some simple tips to throw a successful party:

- Keep Bathrooms in strategic locations and keep the stalls near the door, Sims use their hearing to locate things. Take the doors off your house bathrooms so not everyone crowds around the one toilet hushing everyone out.
- Try to keep every Sim in the house happy. Your goal is to have every guest with green bars. After everyone's eaten and relieved themselves, split up your family members and put them in charge of 5-6 guests with a different game (ie) 2 on the Bull, 3 on the dance foor, 4 blowing bubbles... everyone else on charades, etc.

Happy Simming. :)

Summary: Awesome expansion!!! :-)
Review: This expansion pack- House Party is soo cool. I like to create my own family on this game and crack up while i watch my dad DJ and my mom in a dance cage! Its hilarious. Its also fun to put dance floors in my room and lots of other fun excessories. I didn't rate this 5 stars because it gets boring after a while to see your family just do things. If you want to "get rid of your brother" then take out the stairs to the pool so he drowns-only do that if you are a big meanie. You've gotta get this expansion pack to have fun!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A decent expansion pack . . .
Review: A big jump up from livin` large but they could have added to this. The main thing is trying to throw a great party and try to get Drew Carey to come to your house. Not really much to it. But Maxis did add over 150 new items and they also threw in a few neighborhoods. Overall this is a 3 star game.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not As Much To Party About
Review: While the SIMS is one of the best game ideas out there (oddly enough, the biggest game series is about everyday life.,. what does that show you?) I was not as excited after installing 'House Party' as I was with other Expansions. I found very little in this game comparing it to the other expansions (Unleashed, Hot Date.. and even Vacation) and taking into account the 20-something price tag on it. I mean, there are add-ons. You can make your SIM house look like a nightclub, you can add a ton of new objects, and a few new skins.. yet if you do not intend on a 24/7 party in your game, you will soon have to change it back. I did enjoy this game .. Therefore i am giving it 3-stars instead of 1-star.. Middle of the road I guess.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Game Ever!
Review: This game is fantastic! You just have to admit it! My daughters and sons are in the party with the sims! I recommend if your buying one of the sims products to your daughters/sons (8 years old to 11 years old), buy this party one or the vacation one, don't buy the hot date and the sims online. The hot date is for teenagers, and the sims online is very dull and boring.
