Summary
For Sims diehards, largely...
The Good
The Sims House Party adds a variety of new objects, furniture, and group interactions to a great game!
The Bad
...but for the price, it doesn't really add enough.
The Bottom Line
Compared to other Sims expansions that really did amazing things for the game, like Livin' Large and Hot Date, House Party isn't really all that impressive. There are certain internet downloads that require that HP be installed to work, though, so if you're really going to get SERIOUS about sims, go ahead and buy it...
