The living room is the central nervous system of your household. Sims do most of their socializing here. You can set up your living room in a variety of ways. You can feed directly into it from the front door or bury it deeper in your house.
You are also not limited to making just one distinct living room. Try creating specialized or themed rooms such as a parlor for entertaining guests or a media room for a good night of vegging in front of the telly.
Social Setting
Immediately welcome your guests into your home by fashioning a warm social area right inside the front door. Inviting chairs positioned so everybody faces each other are perfect for getting a good conversation going—which might do wonders for your social life, especially if you are new in town.
Just be sure you have something on-hand to fill any potential silences. A nice stereo is sure to fill those awkward conversation potholes.

The Singleton
Living alone has its benefits—you need less room, and that equates into real estate savings. Less room means less stuff to clean, too. Try combining room functions into the same space, such as this living room/study hybrid.
With a bookcase and computer within reach of your TV chair, the only risk is over-stimulation.
