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?

Summary: Fun and a good improvement
Comment: So, as always, a game this complex is going to have some kinks. It's basically just new software. But this game is definitely an improvement on the last one, and I was resistant because I was still have so much time playing The Sims 2. I am looking forward to the expansions. My two favorite upgrades in this game are that you play the whole town as one location, so your neighbors are all accessable and age just like your family/sim, and the customization. Unfortunately there are a little less clothing and hair styles, but you can completely customize all of it. Clothing, hair color, furniture, wall covering, flooring, everything!

Summary: Good but crashes your computer
Comment: I love this game alot, this game is fun, but it was this game that crashed my computer or it was the the expansion packs for the sims 2. Well it is still a "sims" product.

Summary: SIMtastic
Comment: The Sims has always been a fun game. With Sims 3 you have more free range, you don't have to wait on load screens, you can go anywhere in the city/neighborhood. Visit neighbors, friends, go to work, library, park, fishing, grocery, etc either by walking, jogging, bicycle, car or taxi. Yes you can take your children with you, except for work of course. A few things I miss from The Sims 2, a changing table for the baby, going to the icebox to get a baby bottle, the length of pregnancy is short, like 3 sim days. Once your ready to have the baby you can have the baby either at home or at the hospital. The one thing I don't like about the Sims 3, is when you go into a building, grocery store, book store, hospital etc you don't get to see the inside or whats going on. Once your sim goes inside they just kinda of fade away. Same with kids at school. Yes I know I am picky, or nosey but I like to see whats going on. The one thing I wish The Sims 3 had was where you can sit down with your kids. rock your babies that kind of thing. Other than what I wish for. The game itself is super fun to play, its highly addictive, but what Sim game isn't? I like how you don't have to go shopping for clothes, you can just simply click on a dresser and click on plan outfit. It's just that easy. There are so many improvements and its just an open fun game. I do wish they would get rid of the censor. Come on they go to the bathroom with their clothes on. When in shower they look like barbie dolls, please tell me who hasn't seen naked barbies? I just think it's annoying. This only proves adults should have games just for adults.... Bottom line if you like The Sims and all EP's. Your going to loooooooooooove The Sims 3!

Comment: Overall, this game is a big disappointment. I regret spending my money and time on this piece of junk. The sims 2 would have been a much better game if EA just add seamless neighborhood feature to it.

Summary: Great improvement on the Sims 2
Comment: I've been playing The Sims 2 for years, and loved it. When The Sims 3 came out, I wasn't planning to buy it. But I'm so glad that I did! So much has been added to the game. The open neighborhood is great -- my Sims actually go places, instead of staying cooped up in their houses because I don't want to wait for community lots to load. They meet Sims outside of school and work. I love the new wants system, which I think is a vast improvement on the old one -- I like that the wants are tailored to the personality of your Sim, and that his/her personality is more than just "family" or "romance." I love that you don't have to buy clothes, even with the hacked coathook for The Sims 2 that was a pain. Overall it's a great game. I'm really enjoying exploring the town, playing the different premade families and a few of my own. It's interesting to check in on various pre-made families after a couple of generations and see what's happened to them.
Two cons: For some reason the game occasionally doesn't work if I have iTunes open. This only happens sometimes -- and not after I've had an iPod or something plugged in, like the FAQ suggests. But it's easy enough to fix. Closing iTunes and rebooting gets rid of the disc error, and then you can just put it into windowed mode quickly and reopen iTunes. Secondly, I'm using a Mac, and installing custom content is quite a production. They made it pretty much impossible (unless of course you buy from their overpriced store, which I'm not inclined to do). I don't use much CC, since I can recolor things on my own, but it would be nice if that were easier.
