The Sims 3

The original The Sims game became something of a phenomenon that was able to pull in devoted PC gamers as well as hundreds of PC users who never thought they would play anything besides their pre-installed Window’s Solitaire. When The Sims 2 came along, it added more goodies that it was, once again, hard to want to put this game down. So can the same be said about the franchise’s third outing? Let’s just say that people at home think I’m stuck to my seat permanently.The new game of lifeYou see, The Sims 3 is bigger and better and darn if it isn’t still the same brilliant concept that made us love it in the first place but things in the world of The Sims is definitely not the same either. For starters, you aren’t forced to stay within the confines your Sims’ neighborhood or - thanks to the many expansion packs - a single area such as a university dorm or a nightclub. In this third game, you have an entire town to explore with various areas to drop in and socialize. Starting with the Create A Sim feature, we can see right away that there are a number of new options at your disposal that can be used to create a number of Sims that don’t end up looking alike. While the creation options aren’t too elaborate, you can still create a Sim that resembles you and the clothing options can now be tweaked to the point that you can come up with your own color schemes and patterns. Thanks to the new EA Download Manager you can install off the disc, you will be able to download even more hair and clothing options later but it will cost you real dollars.The town itself - called Sunset Valley - can be changed as well, demolishing existing homes and building your own to the point of changing the landscape a little. Besides residential neighborhoods, the town includes a number of interesting locales that range from a library to a café to interact with other Sims. If you want to drop into a neighbor’s house you can even if said neighbor lives on the other side of town. You can walk, drive or even bike your way to various places such as the park or the beach.The ability to travel to other places not only allows you to break away from being trapped in a house or one specific area but it is also used to interact with other Sims as well as meet your Sims’ life goals. Your Sims have different personalities you can pick in the creation feature so you can make a Sim an irresistible ladies man or you can even make your Sim a creative genius. Depending on a personality, your Sim develops certain skills by performing different tasks. For example, if you have an artistic Sim you may want to have your Sim paint pictures until one work really develops into a real work of art and turning your Sim into a bona fide artist. If your Sim is having trouble developing skills they can always take classes.Do you think it's better Sims 2 or Sims 3???

I like The Sims 3.
Nice game..when I'm pissed off, I just cheat and get the money and have fun!

i dislike the sims 3 unlike in sims 2 you cant be the person and its harder to move them around. I couldn't get around that fact and it fustrated me so i ended up returning the sims3.

I enjoyed Sims 3 O_O
I don't even understand what you're saying there by the way. I mean, Sims 2 was so limited in the context that you couldn't go out of your house.

My favorite expansion pack was the Open for Business.

I want that in The Sims 3 so badly.
