      | The Sims: Livin' Large
 
EA announced The Sims: Livin' Large, an expansion for the best-selling computer game. With the Livin' Large expansion,
                   people will lead their Sims through five new career paths, including the music industry and the paranormal. Fun new situations and objects will
                   abound. Is trash piling up? The Sims might have to deal with a roach infestation. That lantern the Sim purchased at the antique shop might
                   contain a genie who can grant a wish. And Sims that thrill to stargazing with the new telescope are prime candidates for alien abduction. The
                   add-on will also come with three new architectural modes, including retro ranch houses, gloomy castles and Vegas love pads. The user can
                   also combine elements from the expansion with the original game to create wild structures.
