The Sims Livin' Large Expansion Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Doing game reviews for BellaOnline.com, I tend to buy a new game every 3days to play. There are few that really grab a tight hold of me ... butthis was definitely one. As soon as it came out, I bought one copy for meand another as a present for a relative. That night I was up until 5amplaying my couple - a criminal and a psychic - and building them up incareer. Blearily I trudged to bed, dreaming of my Sims.
The next night Ipromised myself I'd show a little more self control. I created a musiciansim - in a fit of amusement I chose Britney Spears - and her partner PrinceWilliam. I wanted to have a little fun - I put him into a Robin Hoodoutfit. She started playing on her electric guitar, and the Sim-friendsthat came by booed their fool heads off. A few hours later, she was rippingamazing riffs on her tiny instrument, and the Sim-buddies were now dancingaround the living room. It was amazing.
The wealth of new outfits foryour sims, and objects to buy them, is just fantastic. Pets. Giant lights.Interesting, pretty doodads. The gorgeous new 60s windows and wallpaper,plus the gothic candelabras, arrow-slit windows, and even a robot make thisan incredible enhancement.
They've got fun jobs available, too. Want tobe a Shooting Star in musical fame and glory? How about a slacker (thinkgolf caddy) or hacker, or psychic or more? They're all there, each withtheir own outfits and career ladders. But wait, it even gets better.
Youcan have MULTIPLE NEIGHBORHOODS. Now, since a given Sim family often needs15 or more friends to get to the higher levels, the original game waspretty much one-person-only. You couldn't have multiple people use yourcomputer, because there were a limited number of house lots to go around.The houses were simply needed for the Sim-Pals to live in (in groups of 8of course). With the new system, each person who wants to play can havetheir very own neighborhood, where they grow and live to their heart'scontent.
Sure, there are still a few bugs. Probably the most glaring oneis the annoying lack of pathfinding ability. My psychic lost her job whenshe'd already gotten to Medium status because she was trapped in thebathroom. The maid and an unruly guest blocked both entrances, and I didn'tblast a hole in the wall fast enough. In another scenario, a guest cameinto my kitchen, faced the fall, and refused to move. She in fact fellasleep against the wall. Once again, I had to make a hole in my house forher to escape.
Pathfinding aside, though, the game is enormouslyaddictive and I haven't been to bed before 3am since it has entered thehouse. The person to whom I gave it as a gift is experiencing the exactsame problem. Sure, you can argue, is a high-school-band-teacher *really* astep up from being a lounge singer? By the time you're a Rock Star, with ahuge pool and a bar in your back yard, you don't really care. It's justamazingly fun.
