Some users report installing the Sims Livin' Large, but get no multiple neighborhoods, no new walls, no new floors, and the only objects they get are the downloads that were included in Livin' Large. Some users also report seeing the new Livin' Large objects in Buy mode, but not in Live mode.

This generally occurs when a user has installed an unauthorized 3rd-party patch or other modification to the game's executable code. The Sims Livin' Large only installs properly on legitimate, unaltered versions of The Sims executable. Objects, skins, walls, floors and such have no effect on this; it is only patches to the game's executable code which cause this problem.

We have also had reports of this occurring when no changes have been made to the executable, but we have not yet isolated the cause of the problem in these cases.

You must uninstall and reinstall The Sims, then reinstall The Sims Livin' Large.

If this does not correct the problem, download the Livin' Large install fixer. After installing The Sims Livin' Large, run the install fixer.

This is NOT a game patch, and should NOT be used if your game is functioning properly. It simply completes the installation process in cases where a technical problem has prevented proper installation.
