The Sims 3 review

by 599 Comments

thesims The Sims 3 Sold 1.4 million PC/Mac versions within the first week of the launch. This was the best-selling launch in the history of EA. My husband purchased it, and EA gave us a copy so my husband decided that the copy EA gave us should go to one of my lucky readers.

HURRAY!

  In The Sims 3, get inspired by the endless creative possibilities and unexpected moments of surprise and mischief! I think they have made it easier to play. I liked simsboxartsetting up my sim or rather watching my husband do it. He created our entire family, and my daughter of course picked out as much purple as she could. You can create lifelike Sims with a unique personality and take them anywhere in the neighborhood. Select from dozens of personality traits such as brave, artistic, kleptomaniac, clumsy, and romantic.

We were able to match the characteristics of our children very well with the choices presented to us.

Based on these personality traits, skills, and career choices, your Sims have wishes that provide constant fun challenges and so many things to do and achieve. You have the ultimate freedom to choose whether to fulfill their wishes and making them happy or making them completely miserable.

I actually like to listen to them talk. Is that weird?

As always you can enjoy the player content and download it and add it to your collection. When my husband had free time (ie before children) he used to create all kinds of characters. He did all of Stargate SG1 and a lot of Star Trek Next Generation. Yes we are nerds at heart. Both my husband and I are geeky/techy.

The Sims3 is rated T for teen and can be found on the PC, Mac, iPhone, iPood Touch, and some other mobile devices.

  197. There are a lot of things – I like building houses, and I like making Sims from source photos, but I have to say I love just having the family tree. The more Sims you have, the more you can just click on their family tree and look around in it, and see how all these Sims have had these children who have married into other Sims’ families, and that’s just such a cool thing.

  206. Oh my gosh, I love playing Sims! I had all of the originals, then all the Sims 2, but haven’t gotten the Sims 3 yet! I think my favorite part is building cool houses, with cool furniture. I also like to build the relationships!

  252. I love the Sims….I think I enjoy downloading custom content from various sites it is what really makes the game unique.

  254. I like to design the homes, and I used to love being able to put different skins on them. I had a house with spider-man in it, and then his neighbor was his arch enemy venom. All spider-man wanted to do though, was go over and sit in the hot tub.

  266. I love playing the sims because I can have a “famous people” block and have them intermingle with me and all of my friends. I also love making my house and downloading content 🙂

  267. I love being able to design houses (and people) with endless possibilities, and it’s always fun to be a “voyeur” into the littles Sims’ lives.

    Reply

  363. I love making houses, decorating them and creating families to move into them. It’s fun cuz your sim can be anyone you want them to be. 🙂

  367. My favorite part of playing Sims is that I can do things that I wouldn’t be able to do in real life more easily (i.e. build a house, not cause a fire).

    Reply

  379. To tell you the truth my favorite part of playing the sims was making really freaky people and then making them do really stupid stuff.

    Reply

  387. My favourite part of playing the Sims is directing them to do things. It feels like responsibility but it’s also fun. It feels like an accomplishment once they’ve earned all their cooking skills, etc.

    Reply

  414. My favorite part of playing the Sims is that they LISTEN when you tell them to do something, unlike my kids. LOL!

  431. I tried to add you as a favorite on Technorati but I don’t know if it worked or not cause Technorati is being weird this morning, I’m Mandzp81 on technorati

  481. I love creating my own little world and deciding who should marry who. I also like making stories using the camera and movie camera.

    Reply

  482. I love to play the sims because it’s so entertaining having them have every woman in town pregnant so everyone you meet is related to you hehe

    Reply

  483. OMG I’ve been waiting for a contest like this! I am ADDICTED to the Sims 2 but hopefully I can win Sims 3 and not have to wait for it to go on sale after the holidays!

    I love creating families and joining families in marriage or with children. Expanding families is always great but I also like to occasionally create some tension and jealousy. Moving into a house is always a big deal and buying furniture never gets old.

    Reply

  507. I like to make my character my “alter-ego.” I’m of a certain type of personality, so it is really a fun thing to step out of my box and become someone else…virtually! Love also designing a “new” house for myself!

    Reply

  524. My favorite part of the Sims is creating characters and controlling their lives and watching all of it unfold. It’s like one giant social experiment and the virtual world the Sims inhabit is the sandbox where all of it takes place.

  566. I love making them dance & sing.
    I do not have the game but played with it at a friends house!

    I also have watched some youtube creations like
    Darren Hayes song “Creeping Up On You” with the anmination girl dancing.
