EA
Announces Plans For The Sims House Party
Expansion Pack
Add-on
Disk to 2000's Top-Selling PC Game in Stores
this Spring
Electronic
Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS) today announced plans to
release this spring, The Sims™ House
Party Expansion Pack, a new add-on disk to
the top-selling PC game of 2000, The Sims.
With new characters, activities, architecture
styles, objects, music and much more, the new
expansion pack will give players the chance
to host outrageous parties for their Sims.
"Just like real people, Sims are social
creatures, but it has always been difficult
for them to get together and party,"
said Lucy Bradshaw, General Manager of EA's
Maxis™ studio. "This new expansion
pack pumps up the fun of watching and
controlling your Sims in a group
dynamic."
Three new architecture styles and dozens of
new objects allow players to hoedown at a
country barn dance, chow down at a tropical
luau, or go underground at a rave with their
Sims. Within each entertaining theme, a
festive variety of costumes and décor
options are available to add breadth to the
bash.
Players can build a dance floor for their
Sims and watch them keep to the rhythm of the
DJ's music. They can hire a flashy caterer to
keep the buffet table and punch bowl full. Or
they can roll in a mechanical bull or the
giant cake "full of surprises" and
kick the party into high gear. The House
Party Expansion Pack makes it easy for the
Sims to throw an absolutely unforgettable
evening for all of their friends.
The Sims' unparalleled success most recently
inspired the creation of its first add-on
pack, The Sims Livin' Large which shipped
this past September. The Sims Livin' Large
allows players to put their simulated
families from The Sims into new extreme
situations and settings. To date, The Sims
Livin' Large has sold over a 500,000 copies
in North America.
The Sims, the wildly popular game that allows
players to create a neighborhood of simulated
people known as "Sims" and control
their lives, skyrocketed to the top of the
charts when it began shipping to stores in
February and has quickly become a universal
gaming and cultural phenomenon. It was the
best selling PC game of 2000 according to
Reston-based PC Data. Translated into 13
different languages, the game continues to be
a top seller worldwide.
