## Description

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 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?

Review: great game but is better with expansions - I was hooked on the sims since i was little. I loved controlling a family and making it my own and making their lives better or worse. I loved the original sims but I never knew what I was missing until I got the sims 3 (yes I made the jump from sims 1 to 3, so what? :). The graphics were amazing and the open neighborhood was a definite plus. I never had any problems installing the game and I loved it from the start. I made a family and played with it for probably a year. And in that time, my original female sim had had a husband die, three kids (two adopted), and had moved into a cottage to be alone until she passed away. I had become so emotionally attached to this family that I cried when the husband died and when the wife died. The sims 3 gives you that push to branch out and make your own family without the restrictions of never seeing them once they move out (if you stay with the parents point of view). I've heard people say that they are dissapointed with how long it takes to do stuff (sleeping, eating, bathing, etc.) and that if you have a family it is even harder. But while this is true, it is overly exaggerated. If you really care about making a family that loves and supports each other, you will make time to get off work and go to the park or make time with your spouse to have a romantic diner at the bistro. It's just like real life, you have to make time to do things with your family. My first family on sims 3 made time to eat at the table together and to go to the pool and have fun every weekend. And for all those people who say they will no longer play this game because it has lost some of the classic elements of the sims, I'm telling you just wait. Right now there are 6 (the 7th will be released soon) expansion packs. And with these expansion packs have come the elements of the sims that people love. For example, I have been wanting to get a new expansion pack and so I decided to get Generations. This ep comes with all kinds of stuff from the sims 2 and much more! They've just made better what has already been made. Things like memories have made a comeback and they are better than ever. And with Pets, they've added horses and places to train your animals like parks and such. But what makes me so upset with sims players who complain about the sims 3 is they're always complaining "we want seasons and university!" and while yes these ep's would be nice on the sims 3, there are still more ep's to come. Seeing as seasons and university were popular, they will probably come back. I mean, the new Supernatural ep that is coming out soon has most of the creatures from the sims 2 and more in one ep. I have noticed that the sims 3 games like to bundle many different features from former sims games so it's just a matter of time before they incorporate seasons and university. For example, in Generations, teens coming out of high school have a sort of graduating ceremony. Maybe they'll add on to that and make sort of an expanded University? But aside from all of that, here are some pros and cons about the game: Pros: -Beautiful graphics -Open neighborhood -More customization -The town can grow and change even if you aren't playing different families (this may be a con to some people that like to control the game but I like it because I can worry about just one family and not a lot at once. You can also turn off this feature if you don't like it) -New traits that expand personalities -and these are just some of the pros Cons: -Slower time, making things like sleeping and eating take longer -Loading the game (when you first start up a loaded family) -Rabbit holes (places where you can control your sims but you cannot see inside of them) -Restrictions with personalizing the town -Having only one town (but you can create more than one saved game) But all of those cons don't even matter when you think of all of the new ep's and stuff packs that are out there. I guess all I'm saying is wait for it. The sims 3 will gradually get better and soon it will be so much better than other sims games that all you non believers will be stunned at what this game has amounted to. I'd recommend this game to anyone who loves the sims or would like to get this as their first sims game. It is amazing.
Review: Excelent work!! The best sims made. But... - I am a really huge fan of the sims, and the sims 3 is just better in a lot ways than the sims 2, and I dont believe that the people doesnt like it; and my reasons are: 1. The sims 3 is a town, is more big, complex, there a lot more of interactions with the neighbors, co-workers, you can meet anyone, you can go to their houses and have plenty of fun inside (this mode in the sims 2 doesnt exist), you can go to the bookshop, library, groceries store, to see a movie, eat at the Bistro restaurant, to the beach, diferents types of lakes, the graveyard (explore the catacombs is a lot of fun), stonehenge, mine,etc. For this reason I will never play the sims 2 again, is a lot better, thats all. YOU CAN EAT FREE IN THE MAIN STREET, READ BOOKS FOR LEARNING SKILLS FREE IN THE LIBRARY, MAKE A GRILL IN THE MAIN STREET, YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE YOU HAD MEET TO ANY PLACE IN ALL THE TOWN, YOU CAN GO TO THE GYM TO EXCERCISE, SWIM IN THE COMMUNITY POOL, ETC.. 2. When you make a sim, I love it; because you can do it the way you like it, there is pleny of tools to make it perfect. The traits (30 or more) you have to choose it carefully, for example i love angler, thumb green, loves outdoors, ambitious, natural cook, etc. That will make you perfect in fishing, gardening and cooking.. And my wife is charismatic that has 70 friendships, and is the governor of the town.. And is more and more; the sims 2 cant never reach it..... 3. The lifetime points is similar to the sims 2, but is better too. You have to make your sims to get all your wishes possible, to reach the highest lifetime wishes. 4. In the sims 3; you can collect gems, rocks, butterflies, space rocks, and it has their proper value, and this is very fun to play. 5. Fishing, gardening, writing are perfect... You write a book and it is a best seller you can see your own novel in the shop book.. Fishing you will see your sim catching a tragic clown fish, swordfish, angelfish; etc.. Gardening you can look for seeds, there is a lot of types of plants, trees, etc to produce.. 6. All your family will grow with the members of the town at same time, if you dont want to grow up you have to eat ambrosia, or go to options and dont age, ok.. I accept is more difficult with children because you have to care about them, take care of friendships, the garden, work, etc. I prefer to play with 4 or 5 members at max, because more is very exhausted... 7. There a lot of carreers and each one has its own opportunities, and at the highest position of each job you get a special reward, it is very fun. 8. Ok.. All of this you can play without problems if you have a good video card, memory, proccesor to play; because this game is much, much bigger than the sims 2, so you can imagine, if you have 4 members of your family in different places, the camara switch from one place to another if you want to see whats is going with the other sim, and without a good computer it will take time, and I hate that!! And remember to play in more than 19" LCD monitor, it is better... 9. THE ONLY THING I DONT LIKE IS THAT IF YOU WANT SOMETHING NEW FOR THE GAME (FURNITURE, ETC) YOU HAVE TO BUY IT, AND IT MAKES VERY DISSAPOINTING WHEN YOU KNOW THAT ELECTRONICS ARTS HAS A LOT OF MONEY SELLING ALL THEIR STUFF, SO WHY????? 10. For the new players is better to play sims 2 first to know how to play and later go to the sims 3...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the original base game for the sims 3? I can't download it I need to buy a dvd. Thanks!**
A: Quite possibly the buyer wants to know if it says "Go Social" on the top of the box. If it does, it requires Origin and you cannot use Create-A-World's "In-Game" edit with it. Many Sims 3 creators are seeking the original DVD box before the "Go Social" version was released.

**Q: Can we play offline?**
A: Yes, you sure can it just won't be linked to the online store, or online friends

**Q: it says i need to type in a product code where would i find that?**
A: There is a code on the back of the instruction manual. I'm assuming that is the code they are referring to.

**Q: does it work on window xp**
A: Yes, it does work on Windows XP.

### ⭐ Unsatisfying and extremely annoying!
*by N***A on December 25, 2009*

I have been a very faithful Sims player since the very first Sims game came out so many years back and got even more addicted after playing Sims 2...but now EA has completely ruined the Sims experience for me with Sims 3!, and even though I think that Sims 2 is a much better game I am now bored with both Sims 2 and 3 and not sure if I will ever play any of them. This game was a complete waste of my money and I feel very angry. I have a feeling that at least half of the 5 star reviews on here are fake and where written by people who got paid buy EA-games, since now the word is out that this game stinks to high heaven. if you look at all the 5 star reviews you can see that it usually says above something like "0 of 5 people found the following review helpful!" which means people don't agree whit this review! but then when you look at the 1 or 2 star reviews it usually says "6 of 7 people found the following review helpful" ....hummmm I wonder why... there are so many flaws in this game I don't even know where to begin! It is more difficult to navigate and the whole game is just poor quality. I despise the idea of not being able to make my own made town. its so hard to build relationships now, it will take so long for them to be willing to reproduce or to get married...It's annoying! If you have never played Sims before, you might like it anyway, but only because you don't know how cool and much better Sims 2 is... I really hate that there are a much less clothing and hair styles choices (plus most of them are so ugly), even though you can customize all of it, with more color/pattern choices....and I really hate that you much less control in this game and that family member just disappear like some dogs that run away on Sims 2! I really miss the cool green Alien's and alien abductions where men had alien babies. I especially hate that EA has turned into a even bigger greed consumed company than before and they don't seem to care at all what the Sims fans really wanted form the new game..all they want now from us is to keep spending money on there stupid Sims 3 online-store for every little tinni thing you might wand for your game..alone that you actually have to "buy" additional items for the game online, versus it just coming with the original game, is such a rip off and it pisses me off so very much, I mean what is next, do we have to sell our soul to them just to get a few more furniture's? .. so unless they make expansion packs with double amount of content of the old Sims 2 expansion packs that cost no more than 10$ each, EA games will not see 1 more Cent from me...and that's a promise, no kidding! I know you can't give zero star on here...( even though we should be able to do so) but I give this game 1 star anyway because it does have some new features that are good, like that you can change the colors and designs of furniture's exactly the way you want. you Sims have more body types and voices but even that feature still needs more options, and your Sims spend less time taking on eating and peeing but for some reason now need to sleep longer??.. I can't mention it enough but, EA has definitely become the greediest company on earth, this game is sooo cheap, you don't even get a hot tub with the start up game. I was able to create way more interesting looking faces with Sims 2...but not in this new game, The Sims themselves are either super boring or just ugly looking. Everybody kind of looks the same unless you give them purple hair and neon green eyes... PS.: since I am playing this game on a brand new very fast 5000.- alienware PC (specialized gaming computer) with the best most expensive graphics card you can buy, I at least was able to play this game without any crashes. But I have 2 Friends of mine who did have the crashing and freezing problem with this game like so many other people who left a review on here..those 2 friends by the way are quiet disappointed by Sims 3 also, and 1 of the 2 has stopped playing it after only 2 weeks and the other after playing it on and off for 3 months. the are both angry as me about wasting our money!
