The Sims Livin' Large Summary

The Sims Livin' Large is the official expansion pack for The Sims. Livin' Large adds new career tracks for your Sims, new situations and objects for them to deal with, and new architectural and décor styles for you to design their homes with.

Game Reviewer reviewing a gameThe expansion pack lets your Sims explore five new careers tracks. The new career tracks create 50 new jobs that can employ your Sims. Your Sim could be a game reviewer reviewing games for a living; carry golf clubs as a golf caddy or be a Beta tester chasing bugs all of his or her workday.

Your Sims will have to deal with new situations and objects. UFO investigators will be gettingAlien Abduction more work now that alien abductions will be possible. Fortune telling will become common place when your Sims get a fortune telling crystal ball. With the Sims knowing their destiny they will want the old rusted lantern they found in a store that has a genie in it. That protects them from what could happen in their future or grants their wish to have a new plasma TV or mansion of their own.

The Castle settingIn Livin’ Large there are three new architectural styles for you to use. Now your Sims can live in the style of the past, a Castle setting. Those Sims that are living in the 50s – 60s, can use the Retro style to design their home and living quarters. Then for those Sims that like to gamble—they can use the Vegas style to have the aesthetics of a Casio. You also can combine the three new settings with the original setting to create even different settings.

With all these new career tracks, situations and objects, and architectural and décor styles, The Sims will be even more addictive than it already is.
