My son got this for Christmas and thank God he's on break from school, because I know he would be falling asleep in class. He stays up every night playing it and now has gotten me into it. We have so much fun trying to help each other get to work on time and get better at the game and give each other hints a long the way. He even designed his house to look like ours and then started showing me things to put in the backyard. Thanks sims now I have to take out a second mortgage. :)

Install this expansion pack and you'll see that you can add more family members in your house. You'll see new furnitures, wallpapers, and appliances. This will enhance your gameplay from the initial The Sims. :-)

This expansion pack may not be as worthy as it says. Not many new items are added. It would be better if you pick another expansion pack for The Sims. Refer to my other reviews on other expansion packs for more details. However, if you are a The Sims addict, you may want this to complete your collection.

Livin' It Up

Livin' Large wasn't bad, but I worship it compared to Vacation as it's got variety. Livin' Large has new items concentrated in the different ways of construction of a house. Lots of new doors, windows, wall textures and roofs are added as well as decoration items to go with the theme. I use the medieval theme a lot! It even includes the Love Bed, abduction of Sims are now possible through frequent use of the telescope, and Grim Reapers appear to decide the fate of your close-to-dead Sim who you can only save by beating it to a game of Stone-Papper-Scissors (cute).

Livin' Large definately enhances the game, and it's absence would affect the game greatly unlike some other expansion packs I could mention.

The Most Underated Expansion Pack

Although Livin' Large is not my favorite expansion pack, I think it is the most underated. What would we do without the telescope, chemistry set and guitar? I loved all the wacky items that Maxis added and the medieval theme. If you have the sims deluxe edition don't worry about buying it... Livin' Large is included.

Ehhh... it's ok

Actually this is a great installment, but my favorite is House Party. What's great about Livin' Large is mostly the items. New items include a robot, love bed, and a lot more. Like all the other expansion packs this one more neighborhoods. I would suggest you just wait for Sims 2 to come out instead of buying more expansion packs.

When I ordered this game, I guess I expected tons fo new features and loads of options. But when I got the game, I was let down. Well sure, the game is still great or else I wouldn't have given it 4 stars, but there are juse abunch of new objects and a few more jobs. Not any major new thing like in Unleashed or Vacation. Even with all of that dissapointment, I still loved the game. My favorite new object is the robot. He is really helpful around the house and does tons of things for you. I also liked the new modern objects. This game is still a great buy, but do not make the mistake of setting your expectations too high.

Great First Expansion Pack

If you don't have The Sims: Deluxe Edition, then Livin' Large is a must-have. I have been a long time Sim fan, starting with the original, "The Sims" (before any expansion packs, console editions, or Deluxe Editions came out) and was instantly hooked. I got Livin' Large the day it came out and played for days on end. Even though, "The Sims" is the best-selling PC game of all time, a few aspects are missing. Livin' Large adds three new themes of objects to the game (retro, castle, and futuristic) and also throws in a cast of all new NPCs (non-player-characters including the Grim Reaper, Servo the robot and the Tragic Clown). In addtion, for the [money] you spend on the game, you get dozens of new skins (faces and outfits) and 50 new jobs (5 new career tracks including Paranormal, Slacker, and Journalist). Believe me, LL will add a whole new twist to your favorite PC game.

good but not great

Livin' Large was good if you were looking for themes and decorating ideas.Advancing game play, not so much. However, if you don't mind cheats, there are sites well worth your while.
