Quick Synopsis	Overall Score
Enjoyment:  You can party hearty with this expansion pack because even though it doesn't have as many items as the others do what it does have is certain to liven up the night

The Sims: House Party comes with a measly 100 items; there are group items like a punch bowl for everyone to share and entertainment items like the mechanical bull.  You can party hearty with this expansion pack because even though it doesn't have as many items as the others do what it does have is certain to liven up the night.  You can drink up with the new bars, dance the night away with the awesome stereos, and groove to the music with the new disco lights.

Make your party center to suite your taste, this game comes with plenty of new floor tiles and wall coverings that are sure to set the mood.  Do the country theme with some hay bales, saloon doors, and a mechanical bull.  Better yet have a lively night club set up with disco floors and disco lights, but don't forget the girly cages. 

New characters are at your disposal with this expansion pack.  These characters have a far different look from any of the ones you had before; along with some swingin' outfits.  Create new families, add more people into your neighborhoods.  The more people that you can get to your party the more happening it will be.

Unfortunately this expansion pack does not come with its own downtown area.  These items will be used in the neighborhood houses or possibly in other downtown areas that have come with other expansion packs.  I'm not sure why they decided to give this expansion pack the short end of the stick, but it is obviously inadequate when you check out how much the other expansion packs get.  However, what it does come with is very fun to use.
