Guide Review - "The Sims Livin' Large Expansion Pack"
The majority of the new situations, objects, and NPCs, are not realistic. If you've always wanted to create a mad scientist Sim, this is the expansion pack to do that. Since the decor and situations are not things you would come across in real life, in effect it adds a a bit of fantasy to "The Sims."
The new career tracks and the ability to have more then one neighborhood are good reasons to own "Living Large." Although neither really changes the game, they are a nice addition to an already great game.
