Summary: Give your sims the wild life!
Review: In this addicting expansion you get 125 new objects. The capability to bulid 50 homes. Their is 5 new jobs including a slacker, journalist, paranormal, hacker, and musician. This game will keep you busy for a long time. Now you can have a genie (use with caution), the grim reaper, the depressed clown, and more. This game is well worth your money!

Summary: Great, But Just 1 Thing
Review: This is one good expansion pack. But the only bad thing was that the camra views are bad, it makes it hard to do things. But besides that it has some very good things that are helpfore and cool, like servo(the maid robot, that can do other things besides a being a maid), and the chemistry set. I think anyone ho is a fan of sim game should but this expansion pack.

Summary: A Must Have!
Review: My favorite feature of this expansion pack and the one that makes it a "must have" is the addition of the four new neighborhoods. There's also the ability to add up to 99 new neighborhoods! Other pluses are new objects which allow for new interactions between characters. There are more career tracks and new decorations that also make this CD a must have for any serious Sim lover.

Summary: Re-addiction
Review: Livin' Large definitely reinstated my addiction. I've decided to buy the House Party today so I can get this Sims addiction under control again once and for all! I miss my husband, and ooh my aching back!

I think the added career tracks all pay a little less than the better career tracks in the old version do, though I'm not sure of this. There are many new objects, but never enough!!! As usual many of the new skins are so grotesque that I can't bring myself to handicap a Sim with some kind of outrageous or unattractive appearance that may make his life miserable!! The new decorating choices are enjoyable for the most part.

The new magical objects (genie lamp, crystal ball) have unexpected results, but the results are good often enough to warrant using them. There are so many new objects that I haven't tried them all yet.

The four new neighborhoods look identical to the first neighborhood in terms of geological features (the river, the waterfall), but there are more unoccupied spaces, and a couple of different established houses, occupied and unoccupied.

I think the hardest part for me right now is accumulating enough friends for career promotions, so I look forward to using the new House Party expansion pack as well.

Saba-doochee!!

Summary: A Must Have Expansion For The Sims!!!
Review: In my opinion, without the Livin' Large Expansion, the Sims would just not be that fun! The expansion pack includes more than 125 new items. This includes a clumsy genie which can cause great damage such as start a fire or make all your plants die, or make your family or friends hate you. He is useful in some ways also but in my situation, rarely. There is also a chemistry lab that allows your sims to make potions. There are 7 types of potions which may leave your sims feeling refreshed or horrible. It may even turn your sims into a monster. Monsters break everything they use and it gets so frustrating! You sims can now make gnomes and play the air guitar. Your sims can now listen to other sims play the piano and guitar and make comments on it. There is a crystal ball that your sims can gaze into and get advice. Your sims can now use a voodoo doll to really hurt a sims that get on their nerves! The expansion allows your sim to "play in bed" using the Vibrating Heart Bed. There are many new decorative items that I find very attracting. Overall, I like most of the items and new events however, I really do think the tragic clown is annoying. I hate it when sims get abducted by aliens from looking in the telescope too much and the cockroaches that show up from no where!

The expansion also contains many new wallpaper and floor tiles. There are many colorful ones and I guess the point of having these crazy wallpaper is to go with the flow with your creativity and make your house wild!!

There are some new skins that are pretty decent.

I really love this expansion pack and I would rather have this than House Party. This is for "abnormal" type families. I would strongly recommend this expansion though for all Sim lovers! It's absolutely wonderful and like I said, without it, the Sims would be so dull! If you want to expand your fun, get the Livin' Large Expansion pack! Many new items, events, doors, windows, plants, wallpaper, tiles, the works!! Even though I love the expansion, I must it admit and does get kind of tedious once you play it for a long period of time! Of course, I still think this is the key to any wonderful sim experience! Enjoy!

Summary: Get this expansion set!!
Review: If you've bought "The Sims," you have got to get this expansion pack. Adding this to the Sims will totally enhance your gaming experience. You'll get new neighborhoods, so you (should) never run out of places to create your world. You'll also receive new skins to make your people look more creative. Not to forget all of the new items you'll get. Such as new lights, crystal ball, chemical set (makes cool stuff happen to your Sims), new apliances, and MANY more items. A definate plus is the new career paths! You can become a hacker, musician, journalist, and a few others I've forgotten. New events vs. just having a criminal come to your house. New arcitecture to enhance your home (wallpaper, floor tiles/carpet, etc....) New ways to make your skills enhance. A definate must if you have The Sims!!

Summary: A Great Addition to "The Sims"!
Review: SOFTWARE REVIEW:

"The Sims Livin' Large Expansion Pack" adds new jobs for your sims, as well as new windows, doors, and decorations for your sims' homes; your sims will also get to try out some really neat things.

Here are several features that the software will add to your gameplay:

- An alien abduction after looking through a telescope for some time; this happens sometimes, but not every time

- A clown coming to visit if at least one of your sims sinks into a depression; this will only happen if you have the painting of the clown hung somewhere in the home where your depressed sim lives

- A change in the sim's personality or characteristic after drinking the potion made by your sim on a chemistry set (this chemistry set will also help add a logic point to your sims); some changes include reversing of the sim's personality, refreshing the needs of the sim, and turning the sim into a frankenstein monster

- A creativity point added to your sim's cummulative creativity points after making a wooden dwarf (there's a table you must purchase for doing this; just look for it), painting a picture, or practicing on an electronic guitar.

This expansion pack is strongly recommended; between this expansion pack and "The Sims House Party Expansion Pack", I recommend getting this one!

Summary: Living Large....and the Sims
Review: When I first tried the Sims, I thought wow, awesome. Not your average boring shoot em up game. This one requires intelligence, planning and creativity. Living Large was a good addition to The Sims, but my only gripe is cost of these expansion packs.
