Tutorial 2. Download(s) 3. The Sims Livin' Large 4. Live Mode 5. Buy Mode 6. Build Mode 7. Create a family album 8. My website 9. Conclusion 1. Tutorial ~The tutorial is a quick walkthrough for "The Sims" Goto the options menu, and find the house icon. The family that lives in the original household will be evicted. The Newbie household is where it will take you. If you need any other help about the tutorial that it didn't mention, you can e-mail me and I will help you with any of your questions. 2. Download(s) ~Alot of people off the internet have websites on "The Sims" because this game is so popular, alot of people have put up downloads. Some downloads are ok to have, but if you get carried away, your game might crash at certain spots. I had this problem every time I tried to create a new sim. Here is what to do if this problem happends to you. Goto Program Files, Windows Explorer. Then the Windows Explorer screen pops up. You can click on the folder Program Files on the main screen or the side screen. After you click Program Files, goto Maxis, The Sims, GameData. Voila! You are at the objects, wallpapers, floors, sound, skins, userobjects and more page! Click on the folder you know where the problem is. My problem was certain skins, so I went to skins and got rid of the ones that I got on the internet. You might not have to delete all the skins on the internet, just the ones you go pass in create a sim when it crasses, or just the skins you know are the problem. If you need more help, you can e-mail me! 3. The Sims Livin' Large ~The Sims Livin' Large will be coming out in stores around Labor Day weekend! You can also pre-order it at the EA store and also get a free extreme characters pack CD with your purchase which includes even more skins! Here is a little more information, but I won't give away to much! The Sims Livin' Large includes more skins, wallpapers, floors, stairs, windows, doors, and ALOT more! It is an expansion pack, and you will need "The Sims" to play. You will also have five more jobs to choose from! Musician, Reporter, Slacker, Paranormal, and a game designer! You will also deal with more situations! Alien abductions(your sims can look through the telescope and sometimes aliens will appear and will abduct your sims! They will eventually bring your sims back, after fooling around with them. They will mess around with their personality traits. They could of once been a neat-freak, and then they turn into a major slob.) Roach infestations(If you leave your house a pigstie, roaches will take over your house!) Servo, the household appliance( tired of cleaning your house, or hiring a maid, buy Servo and he will clean up your house, he is a robot!) The tragic clown appears! (You remember that tragic clown painting in "The Sims"? He can actually come out of the painting and drive your sims nuts!) A genie (Buy the magic genie lamp and wish for love or money! He can also mess your wish up too!) A voodoo doll!(Poke away your troubles and take your anger out on someone will this, OUCH!) The Grim Reaper(If one of your sims die, he will come to collect the body, although you can negotiate with the Grim Reaper, and play paper, scissors, rock. If you win, the Grim Reaper will resurrect the body, if you lose, the Grim Reaper will take the body!) And LOTS LOTS more! Livin' Large also gives you the ability to control fifty new neighborhoods, which is fourty more than the original! I think I said to much, you can goto my sims website to look at some screenshots for Livin' Large too! Scroll down to see the address to my website! 4.
