Why the fuck is Drew Carey in this game? The Sims: Livin’ Large If Drew Carey wasn’t enough to tickle your fancy, this expansion also gave you the ability to buy a cake filled with strippers, which is truly ICONIC. I never quite liked this expansion at the time, but now that I’ve spent two weeks without seeing another human being, I would frankly sell a kidney for the opportunity to throw an in-game rave. This wasn’t a bad expansion, per se, but it also wasn’t exactly a great expansion.Īs the name suggests, it allows you become the life of the party and bust a move on the dance floor. Like Superstar, The Sims: House Party offered a sneaky little cameo from Drew Carey (which proves how fucking old this expansion is). He was a sk8r boi, she said see ya later boy. You could become a celebrity with a few new career options, you could visit Studio Town, but other than that, this game was boring as bat shit. Despite having cameos from early 00s stars like Avril Lavigne, Freddie Prinze Jr and Christina Aguilera, the game offered little else in the form of exciting new content. The Sims: Superstar had the potential to be something great, but instead, it was a flop. Granted, you could customise your character a little more than in the base game, but would I pay extra money for this content? Absolutely not. You’re not fooling me EA Games, this is hardly an expansion pack. You got a few extra outfits and furniture items, but the game was essentially the same. Let’s be real here, Deluxe Edition was literally just the base game for rich kids. The Sims franchise turns 20 this year, and what better way to celebrate than by taking it right back to the beginning? In honour of the 20th anniversary of what is arguably one of the best game franchises of all time, it is officially time to rank the expansions based on nothing other than my personal feelings towards them. We’re talking the OG game, simply titled The Sims. The one that started it all.
