Seven expansion packs were released for the 2000 life simulation video game The Sims, the first major title in The Sims series. All expansion packs were developed by Maxis for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Windows versions were published by Electronic Arts, and Mac OS X versions were published by Aspyr. Expansion packs tend to focus on major new features, with many objects, clothes, styles, worlds and life states are geared towards the pack's major theme. The first expansion pack, Livin' Large, was released on August 27, 2000. The last expansion pack, Makin' Magic, was released on October 29, 2003.

Drew Carey makes a cameo appearance in the game if the player's Sims hold a good enough party.[15]
The Sims: Hot Date is the third expansion pack released for The Sims, released on November 14, 2001, with overall positive reviews thanks to the addition of a Downtown area as a sub-neighborhood, which became the set up for upcoming expansion packs in which new areas were added. Several concepts in Hot Date would be re-introduced in The Sims 2: Nightlife.
The relationship bar with acquaintances the Sims know, now includes a daily bar at the top showing short-term trends with decay quickly and a long term bar showing long-term trends. This feature would be carried forward in later expansion packs for The Sims and The Sims 2.
The Sims: Vacation (known as The Sims: On Holiday in the UK, Ireland, China, Portugal and Scandinavia) is the fourth expansion pack released for The Sims. It was released on March 28, 2002. The pack introduces a new destination called "Vacation Island" where Sims can take vacations with family members or with other Sims and marks the first time Sims can stay on lots away from home. Players can save the game while a Sim is on Vacation Island. The pack also allows Sims to purchase or find souvenirs, stay at a hotel, or rent a tent/igloo.[24] The concept of travelling to different areas in Vacation would be re-introduced in The Sims 2: Bon Voyage.
The Sims: Unleashed is the fifth expansion pack released for The Sims. It was released on November 7, 2002. The pack introduces cats and dogs into the game.

The Sims: Vacation (released as The Sims: On Holiday in the UK, Ireland, China & Scandinavia) is the fourth expansion pack for The Sims. The game associates the Vacation Island sub-neighborhood with the pre-existing base neighborhoods. It was released on March 25, 2002 worldwide.
In the original Sims series, Maxis added farming in the Unleashed expansion pack. I always loved farming for some reason, although it was hard to balance your Sims' moods with farming. Back then, it wasn't worth the cost to exclusively farm, as it would make your Sims too exhausted, and you wouldn't get enough money from it to keep your head above water.
In this expansion pack, players of The Sims 3 are given another expansion to their game in which you can create your own; Dog, Cat or a new-comer, known as a Horse*! Unlike The Sims Unleashed or The Sims 2 Pets, The Sims 3 Pets gives players a lot more customization choices to create their desired pet. To suit the expansion, the game comes with a new town called Appaloosa Plains, a town featuring lots suited best for animals.
