Game Over Online Magazine - The Game Has Just Begun




The Sims: Livin' Large

  • EA announced The Sims: Livin' Large, an expansion for the best-selling computer game. With the Livin' Large expansion, people will lead their Sims through five new career paths, including the music industry and the paranormal. Fun new situations and objects will abound. Is trash piling up? The Sims might have to deal with a roach infestation. That lantern the Sim purchased at the antique shop might contain a genie who can grant a wish. And Sims that thrill to stargazing with the new telescope are prime candidates for alien abduction. The add-on will also come with three new architectural modes, including retro ranch houses, gloomy castles and Vegas love pads. The user can also combine elements from the expansion with the original game to create wild structures.

    New Scenarios:

  • Alien abductions
  • Roach infestations
  • A chemistry set
  • Genie in a lantern
  • Fortune telling crystal ball
  • Exploding garden gnome
  • Holiday decorations

    Five New Career Paths:

  • Musician: subway musician, piano tuner, wedding singer, lounge singer and more
  • Sloth: golf caddy, convenience store cashier, lifeguard and more
  • Paranormal: Tarot card reader, UFO investigator and more
  • Journalism: game reviewer, weatherman, TV show host and more
  • Game industry: beta tester, game designer, programmer and more

    New Architecture:

  • Castle: Build the perfect creepy setting for the neighborhood mad scientist
  • Vegas: Outmoded but not cheap aesthetic, such as clashing colors and odd decor
  • Retro: A revival of the 50s-60s "mod" craze, upscale and chic, with graceful curves and a minimum of ornamentation
