Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Whether you're the occasional Sims player or the die-hard fan that knows after playing it for a hundred hours you are congratulated, The Sims--Livin' It Up expansion pack will rekindle any flame starting to go out for this game.
The Sims--Livin' It Up expansion pack has more swings and bells on it than a Christmas tree in a castle, and of course in true "Sims" style all this is possible.
Whether or not you choose to be the king of the castle, with your turrets, armoury, banqueting hall and dungeon--skeleton in cage on application--or a hip funky Austin Powers-esque man in your retro 60s psychedelic bachelor pad is up to you.
The range of new gadgets and gizmos to play with is just as impressive--and if you are an avid Web fan then you will notice some of the downloads here, especially the gerbil and balloons--but Maxis have realised this and have been busy creating many other features.
New career paths with over 50 jobs have now been included. Become a psychic investigator or a musician, a slacker or a journalist and they all come with new toys to play with at home. If this isn't enough, the game also includes new neighbourhoods to try out if you've run out of space in the current one, although the only drawback is that you can't move from neighbourhood to neighbourhood.
The Sims--Livin It Up is a great addition to the original, having you completely hooked again in no time, and saving up for those ever elusive expensive items, in this case the automatic robot maid.--Stuart Miles
Product description
The world of The Sims just got larger. With the Livin' It Up, you'll be able to give your little humans five new career paths (including slacker and journalist), new objects (could that lantern hold a genie?), and new decors (how does Vegas lounge grab ya?). More than just cosmetic additions, there is also an assortment of new situations for your Sims to deal with. Without spoiling too much, let's just say you're going to want the name of a good Sim exterminator.

Livin’ It Up, the first of The Sims expansion packs, is important because it adds some significant new features to the game in addition to a number of cool new items. For starters, it gives you five times as many neighborhoods to fill up with assorted sims of your choosing. If you’re like me, you hate to get rid of anything you have already created and spent time on, no matter how ready for change you are. With this expansion pack, you can leave your current sim neighborhood as it is and simply start over from scratch on a blank slate. You also get five new career tracks to choose from; now you can indulge your fantasies of becoming a hacker, paranormal investigator, journalist, musician, or all-around slacker. New experiences also await your sims once they begin livin’ large, including my favorite of them all, alien abduction. The 125 new items included in the expansion pack are also nice, even though virtually all of them can be downloaded from Internet; that, however, would take up precious time in which you could be playing The Sims. Computer gaming is rife with expansion packs that are really not worth the money, but Livin’ It Up is definitely an exception. This is an expansion pack that no serious Sims player can do without.

This game breathes life back into The Sims basic package. If you are beginning to get bored (not that you could)of controlling every aspect of your little peoples lives, then this is the expansion pack for you! New items (including a vibrating motel bed or the chemistry kit - have fun with your new Evil Clone!) give it new angles and much fun working out what things do. Adorn your Sim's houses with a lovely skeleton crate or a head in a jar! This really gives you new things to play with... I can't wait til the next one! FANTASTIC

Before I bought this game I already had house party, and I really enjoyed that add on so much I decided to by livin it up. I wasn't disapointed it has loads of brilliant new features which will bring back its adictiveness, including: -100+ new iteams -New career paths -New characters -4 more neighbourhoods and a whole lot more! If you liked the original Sims, there is no doubt about you liking this! A absoloute must Buy!

How disappointing!
The original Sims is a really positive, happy and at times, uplifting game. A complete contrast to all the usual death & destruction games on the market. Read more
