    The only two things that don’t fly in House Party are illegal substances and Robert Downey Jr., which is too bad since there aren’t any Sim Cops on patrol.

    A pack for Sims addicts who love the first two installments, but still want more.

    For the rest of us, the expansion pack really isn't practical, essential, or even ever-entertaining.

    Once the initial novelty of letting your Sims do a Petula Clarke has worn off, there isn't actually a massive amount of new stuff here.

    A fun way to put your Sims into a larger party, but other than that, you can count this more as a "Livin' Large 2.5" than anything else.

    About as worthwhile an investment as Russ Abbot's Party Atmosphere single, although it has to be said that the single represents considerably better value for money.
