That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
Sims can be as noble or as nasty as the player chooses. Possible character trades include coward, evil, dislikes children, kleptomaniac, mean-spirited, mooch, neurotic, and snob. Sims with certain traits will be inclined to steal, cheat on their spouses, say rude things, and get into fights. It's possible to get arrested and spend the day in jail. The game offers a wider range of different body types than ever before, from skinny to hefty or muscular, but Sims react with dismay if you puff their bodies up to the maximum weight.
Sims can taunt, argue, and get into physical fights with each other. Sims with nasty personality traits may actually feel better after beating up another Sim. Like previous Sims games, courtship and romance play a big part. Sims with the Romance trait will aspire to a life of having as many lovers and make-out sessions as possible, and if married, will be inclined to cheat on their spouses.
Sims can have both heterosexual and same-sex relationships and can be seen jumping under the sheets in bed to make "woohoo" the game's term -- which is accompanied by groans and giggles. You can buy a range of items for your Sim's house.
The game encourages the pursuit of "nics stuff," because inferior quality products will negatively affect your Sim's mood such as sleeping in a cheap bed or cooking on a cheap stove.
Parents need to know that this is a life simulation game where you can create your own Sim and then control its life. Players can make Sims' personalities nuanced and life-like by assigning body characteristics and traits that include romantic, artistic, brave, kleptomaniac, neurotic, snob, and even "evil," which can influence desires, behavior, and job opportunities.
Sims can enter into both heterosexual and same-sex relationships; and they can die. Add your rating See all 66 parent reviews. Add your rating See all kid reviews. This version takes character customization to a new level of nuance and detail. Not only are players afforded more options in body shape and clothing style and color than ever before, but they can also select five traits out of three dozen for their Sim, such as coward, absent-minded, athletic, and vegetarian, which affect everything from how the Sim behaves and interacts with other Sims to career choice and life aspirations.
The game's setting, the sprawling Sunset Valley, affords dozens of interesting locations to visit and hundreds of actions and reactions based on each Sim's personality.
They can pursue a career or relationship, start a family, chill at the beach or pool, play chess in the park, or even rummage through the neighbor's garbage. You decide whether to be kind or mean-spirited. If you chose a path of evil doing, your Sim will actually derive pleasure from causing as much strife as possible.
Likewise, romantic Sims will favor casual relationships with no long-term commitments. As with previous Sims titles, The Sims 3 isn't suitable for younger players. The game is a balanced and honest portrayal of peoples' foibles as well as their strengths. Characters can be dishonest, nasty, lustful, mean, and materialistic.

PC Format. This game may well manage to suck some of the harder gamers into its clever paws thanks to sharp wit and genuine originality. All this publication's reviews. If you never really "got" why people played the games, The Sims 3 might give you the answer you've been seeking. The living, breathing world of Sunset Valley, the town that comes pre-packaged with the game, is a fascinating one. It's both more of a role-playing game than it's ever been before, and more of a design game than it's ever been before.
It may suffer a few glaring compromises, but it's an essential play for anyone with an interest in what videogames can achieve outside of a targeting reticule.

I am looking forward to getting the new Expansion Packs. But I will agree that having The Sims 3 is an amazing game, that is very life like. But I will agree that having no choice to have pets does kinda suck, and the graphics aren't the best. But this game will have you singing along to whatever Sim Language song is on the radio. This third installment to the franchise has lived up to the lofty expectations placed upon it by fans and skeptics alike, delivering an This third installment to the franchise has lived up to the lofty expectations placed upon it by fans and skeptics alike, delivering an addictive, fully-customizable experience that is superior to its predecessors in every way.
Not only do your Sims have more depth with the addition of traits, you now tend to spend less time "babysitting" them as they go about their day. Your Sims are also now part of a living, breathing neighborhood that grows with them! The game is good. It feels like a solid game but is missing a few features that have always been there. The first is the fact that they The game is good. The first is the fact that they skimped in some areas where they added it other.
Sims don't get in there car any more they just appear in there car or bike about 5 or 6 feet away from the ride. My second issue I found that its one Sim to a neighborhood.
You can have as many as you want but you cant work with more then 1 family inside one neighborhood filled with a bunch of family's to pick from. This doesn't phase me all that much but it kinda is an annoyance. I haven't gotten to the point where the kids move out but who knows what will happen then. The last thought I have is how cluttered some of the options are compared to the Sims 2.
The first thing you may be asking, then, is whether The Sims 3 is worth playing, or if it's just more of the same. Well, it most certainly is worth it, and yes, in some ways it is more of the same. But in this case, that's a very good thing. For anyone who's played The Sims or its first sequel, this familiarity will let them ease into it, feeling like a welcomed guest rather than an outsider.
But this doesn't make The Sims 3 a simple rehash of what's come before. Instead, returning elements have been energized and extended by a number of terrific improvements, such as expanded customization tools, additional tools for interaction with other sims and other players , and more tangible goals and rewards.
Most importantly, the free-to-explore town makes you feel like part of an entire virtual society--a feature approximated but never fully realized in the previous games. By blending together the old and the new, developer Maxis has created the best, most charming game yet in the series.
If you're new to the series, here's a quick primer. The Sims 3 is a virtual life simulator. In it, you take control of a character called a sim, or an entire household of them.
Sims have needs; they need to empty their bladders, to eat, to sleep, to bathe, to have fun, to socialize. It's real life boiled down to simple mechanics, but within these mechanics lies an entire universe of possibilities. Your sims can have babies who will cry in the middle of the night, needing their diapers changed. You can manage their personal development by sending them to the gym to work out, or by telling them to fix a broken television, or by having them play chess, or by sending them to the park to play the guitar.
Sims go to work to earn simoleans money, of course so they can buy better things for their homes and redecorate--or just buy a brand-new home. They make friends and enemies, they go swimming, and they clog up the toilet. In other words, they act a whole lot like real people, except that they yammer in a delightful gibberish called simlish and communicate via speech bubbles that appear over their heads.
It all sounds terribly mundane, but balancing the needs of your sims and tending to your digital playmates can keep you happily glued to your monitor for hours at a time.
For experienced Sims players, the laundry list of new features in The Sims 3 is extensive, but the one overhaul that has the biggest impact on the game is how seamlessly you can now move around your virtual town. In previous games, the presence of various neighborhoods led to a disjointed experience, so you rarely felt like you were in a living world.
Now, your burb is freely explorable, so traveling to the gym, the art gallery, or your place of work means walking, biking, driving, or taxiing to the location in question without any loading times to break things up.
Want your sim to head to the library and read up on the latest mystery? Just zoom out to the city map and select your destination, and your sim will travel there automatically, using the most efficient means of transportation. You might even get the option to invite someone along with you, so you won't have to head to the diner alone if you've got a friend or acquaintance nearby who's available to tag along.
The effect of the open town has a profound influence on the community aspects of The Sims 3. You can call other sims and invite them over using your handy cell phone, but if you're feeling adventurous, just head directly to another sim's house and introduce yourself. Or travel to one of the many public venues: the beach, the park, even the graveyard.
In these places, you will have a chance to interact with other sims, and there may even be surprises in store if you happen to be in the right place at the right time. For example, you might be able to join a picnic in progress, or a midnight visit to the cemetery may introduce you to some new see-through pals.
The game also provides spontaneous opportunities for your sims to socialize. Other sims will call you on the phone; if you're growing a garden, they may ask you to bring some veggies over in exchange for a few simoleans; or perhaps they'll ask you to repair a broken appliance for them.
Either way, these tasks send you out on the town where you'll run into other sims, which gives you a sense of being part of a society that exists outside of your realm of influence. Those social opportunities often result from the traits that you assign your sims during creation. Customization is fantastic allowing you to basically create yourself or anyone.
Interacting with other sims can also be a lot of fun. However, the game lacks in the sims The Sims are back! Packed with tons of new features, once again you get to control the life of these little people in their miniature world where you are the boss!
