Ehhh... it's ok [Posted on 2004-07-28]
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.

The Most Underated Expansion Pack [Posted on 2004-08-08]
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.

Livin' It Up [Posted on 2004-10-28]
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.

Time to have a bigger family [Posted on 2005-09-10]
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.

Yahoo more room more fun! [Posted on 2005-11-27]
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. :)
