An okay expansion for a great game

Frankly I was a little disappointed in this expansion; certainly it doesn't compare to "Livin' Large" in terms of fun potential, but it has some neat new stuff.

The party option in my case almost always seems to bring the cops AND the mime, and does little to improve relationships.

Some of the new goodies are fun, but some areas seem woefully neglected. We have a zillion variations of the 'tropical island wallpaper' theme but still only 2 sinks and one counter for the bathroom? You guys, consult with an architect or interior designer! More beds! More 'love' beds! More architectural styles!

Make the computers do more! Let the SIMs email, meet people online... buy stuff!

And most importantly, more pets. The guinea pig is too dangerous. Make birds, make some ambulatory pets, like cats and dogs that function sort of like real SIM characters!

The SIMs still has a TON of untapped potential!

Great Game!

SThis is the perfect expansion set for '"The Sims". Now your Sims can have themed houses and can have an elevator. They can also have punch bowls, bubble blowers, buffet tables and can have a total of 9 neighborhoods. Your Sims can throw a huge party that is a total success or a boring party. New NPCs (Non Player Characters) include the Mime and the Caterer. Your Sims can also call up friends just to talk. When you buy this game and the phone rings (in the game) be sure to answwer it because sometimes you can get money from answering it.

Sims gone wild!!!

The sims is a great game but with x-packs(Like house party) it's better.House party has many new features for example the regular things like wall paper, floor tiles ,and new fences.But they have some uncommen things such as a recycled pay phone(garenteed to be disease and germ free)There is also light up dance floors and a hula girl lamp that really hulas! You can also call your niehbours(If you have niehbours) and have a house party(duh!) You can style your house to be a hawien louaw or even a texan roadio complete with a mechical bull! There is all so a visiting mime(much like the sad clown in livin' large)and special celeberty guest Drew Carry. Oh yeah I almost forgot, speaking of Livin' Large you should istall it before House party and House Party before Hot Date. Because alone they are good but together they are better. I like house party because it lets you go out ,get down ,and be crazy with the Sims!
Ihope my review was helpful and now that you are done reading it go on and buy house party for mac.

The life and wild times of the Sims has just got even more lively and wild with House Party. With this expansion pack, you'll be able to have your Sims throw out-of-this-world parties. Whether it's a wedding reception or a strip club, you can make all the shots. Designers have made many new objects and skins to give your party a little more color. There are also a bunch of themes you can use, such as Wild West Hoedown and Hawaiian Luau.
Note: Do not install this unless you have The Sims installed first.

Long time coming...

It seems as though House Party has been out on the PC and that Aspyr has taken it's sweet time with it. But finally the day has come when all us mac users can enjoy the Punch Bowl, DJ Turntable and of course: the Costume Trunk. Of course it doesn't reinvent the game, it's just an expansion set. But it does add a lot of sweet new items and NPC (non-player characters, for the uninitiated.) The question is: Is HP carbonized to circumvent that pesky 31-letter limit that plagues all customization freaks (namely me) on all pre-OS X systems. Is it still good? Yeah. Is it groundbreaking, nope sorry. Still a good buy though.

This game is so much fun!!! I love making my sims throw parties. The problem is, their energy and comfort bars go down so far. And it's hard to make everyone leave without my sims being half asleep. The good thing is, you get to hire a caterer so your sims don't have to cook. I once had a Mime and a Party Crasher come to my house. My mom once had a secret celebrity (which was Drew Carry) come to her party. Once, a police woman came and said that she heard complaints from the neighbors about the party and to end it as soon as possible so people can get some sleep. It was really funny. There are new objects and jobs that are awesome! There are even new faces and clothes to choose from. The Sims: House Party Expansion Pack is the bomb, and everyone sim-fan should own it!!!

Excellent Game!

"House Party" is a must for any owner of The Sims! This expansion pack comes with more skins, items, and much more! They did an excellent job putting in lots of new items for party usage.

Great!

This game is a whole lot of fun. It adds a lot more to the other 2 Sims games. It gives you something else to make your Sims do. Without this game, the Sims would not be the same for me. It did make my computer a tad slower but not anything that greatly impacted my gameplay. I think this game is a must if you have the Sims. I STRONGLY recommend having any of the 4 expansion packs for the Sims because otherwise it is not as fun. I am sure you would like this game if you liek the Sims!!!

The BEST game I have ever played.YA HEAR ME?!BEST!
