Product Description
The Sims 3 lets you immerse truly unique Sims in an open, living neighborhood just outside their door! The freedom of The Sims 3 will inspire you with endless possibilities and amuse you with unexpected moments of surprise and mischief. Your Sims can roam throughout their neighborhood, visit neighbors’ homes, and explore the surroundings. They can stroll downtown to hang out with friends, meet someone new at the park, or run into colleagues on the street. If your Sims are in the right place at the right time, who knows what might happen?! New easy-to-use design tools allow for unlimited customization to make truly individual Sims. Determine your Sims’ shape and size, from thin to full-figured to muscular—and everything in between! Choose your Sims’ facial features, their exact skin tone, hair eye shape and color and select their clothing and accessories. Create realistic Sims with distinctive personalities. Select from dozens of personality traits and combine them in fun ways. The combination of traits you choose—brave, artistic, loner, perfectionist, klepto, romantic, clumsy, paranoid, and much, much more—help shape the behavior of your Sims and how they interact with other Sims. Your Sims can now rise above their basic set of every day needs. They are complex individuals with unique personalities. Build your dream house or design the ultimate home. Customize everything from floors to flowers, shirts to sofas, wallpaper to window shades. It’s fun and easy to change colors and patterns giving you endless personalization options. Or you can populate your Sims’ neighborhood with pre-designed buildings and furnishings. Which of your Sims will live in high-end mansions, cool bachelor pads, ultimate dream homes or low-cost cottages?

The freedom of The Sims 3 will inspire you with endless creative possibilities and amuse you with unexpected moments of surprise and mischief. Create millions of unique Sims and control their lives. Customize their appearances and personalities. Build their homes – design everything from exquisitely furnished dream homes to quaint cottages. Then, send your Sims out to explore their ever-changing neighborhood and to meet other Sims in the town center. With all-new quick challenges and rewarding game play, The Sims 3 gives you the freedom to choose whether (or not) to fulfill your Sims’ destinies and make their wishes come true.

The Sims 3 Review
I agree with others after playing for about two hours. I dislike how slow the speeds are, and I keep feeling like I did when I tried Sim Societies after working with Sim City for a long time. Everything feels dumbed down, cartoony, watered down, and for kids. It doesn’t feel like it usually does, not realistic. I noted that even the blocks got bigger, almost covering the entire person who is in the bath tub. I’d love to have the customization, and the personalities with the Sims 2 game play, characters, and such. I was not able to create my own lot from the start. I have heard that you can only play one family in a town. I really disliked buying food, it took a long time to move food from my sim’s inventory to the fridge. I haven’t downloaded the new town yet, however I hope it is much more customizable. I have yet to play around with the build mode, however I agree with another reviewer about the drawing of the items, as if I am in preschool and need big pictures to play the game. I plan on playing it more this weekend, however I how the game grows on me some more because I don’t know where my sims 2 disc went!

I have always being a Sim lover from the very first sim. I have the Sims 2 as well as all the expasion packs on my computer too. I purchased the Sims 3 on the day of it’s release. I downloaded it with no problem. The graphics are not as crisp as in Sims 2. The facial pictures of the characters look cartoonish and hard to distinguish the children from the adults. The new gameplay is more enjoyable with different variables and options to explore in the city. Everything runs pretty fast on my computer. I have a brand new computer with windows Vista and a lot of memory and graphics at this time. I was worried I would experience freezes or play interruption but I did not. I recommend this game to hard core Sims 3 gamers.

This edition of the Sims is a major improvement on the past editions. You can now drive places, see things, and do things that were once impossible in older editions. The game format seems like a mix of the Sims and Sim City since you can zoom out and see the whole city, and go everywhere as well as do the typical Sim things in your house. In Buy mode items are now organized by pictures…so if you want a bed for your bedroom you click on bedroom and click on the picture of the bed and your choices come up. It seemed to me that with the addition of the ability to customize the appearance of the items, the number of choices for some items has decreased. All of that said, make sure your computer meets the minimum operating requirements…as I found out, a difference of 1/2 GB of RAM can make the game play….painful. However, upgrading RAM is a quick and easy process. Overall, this game is a step in the right direction for the Sims, and EA games.
