Sims still have to eat, shower, go to the toilet, hold down a job to make money, develop skills and make friends. But whereas Livin' It Up expanded the game primarily through new career tracks, skins and furnishings, House Party adds one major new element - the ability to throw parties. Given sims' love of socialising and novelty, this idea is destined to be a winner. Building and maintaining relationships with other sims is vital to the game, and House Party provides multiple opportunities for interaction and fun. Buy a dancefloor that lights up when you boogie and a set of decks.
Cash is a vital element in having a truly great party.
Although friends and neighbours will have a great time just dancing the night away, eating and playing with cheaper items like the doll's house, the more 'toys' you can provide the better the party will be. A tiny dancefloor just doesn't compare to a whole disco room with cages, a DJ to play the 20 new songs and ultra-modern decoration. A very wealthy household I downloaded from the internet could afford all the extras, and their party was so good that Drew Carey turned up in a limo. If a party is going well you may find yourself throwing out the local gatecrasher - but if it resembles a wake, a mime artist may arrive to cheer up your guests. 2001 ZD Inc. All rights reserved.
