  1. In the end, The Sims does mimic real life: if you aren't happy, new stuff is only a fleeting solution.

    The Sims: Livin' Large is a great first expansion to The Sims, and I can't think that I could ever play The Sims 1 without it. The expansionThe Sims: Livin' Large is a great first expansion to The Sims, and I can't think that I could ever play The Sims 1 without it. The expansion feels a lot like Maxis testing the water, and most of the content are flashy Las Vegas, and medieval decorations and furniture, but it definitely is not a stuff pack. The biggest reason to buy this expansion is probably the fact that it adds a second Sim Lane, with some pre-made houses and the surprisingly memorable Mashuga family. The game also adds six blank worlds for you to populate with your own creations.

    The game really lives up to it's title; everything is about Livin' Large! You have slot machines, garish, tasteless house decorations, golden statues in underpants, crystal balls, and even a creepy Tragic Clown that won't leave you alone.

    This expansion is a blatantly absurd, and entertaining addition to the already great original Sims.
