If anybody liked the 1st two of the Sims then this one is the best.

The first one had good gaming, but kinda bad quality considering the year it was made.

The second one had better quality, more life like people, and more things to do.

The third one, however trumps them all, not only does it have better quailty, more job and hangouts, but you can go anywhere without seeing a loading screen. You don't have to pick the between neat, social, etc. traits. Instead you can pick all new different things to make the personality of your sims, you also don't have to pick the sims chemistry traits, those were annoying anyway. You have different meals to choose from, different Lifetime Achievements to choose from, and many different patterns, styles, colors, and textures of clothing and/or furniture.

I love this game ten times better than any of the others because of the fact that you don't have to stay in one place for the game and no loading screen that on certain computers can take all day.

This was the best idea so far, and I am so addicted.

I love the new Sims 3! It is a truly mindless game that allows you to just sit back and maybe make some of your own dreams/fantasies come true. The creators keep making it more functional and easier to achieve goals. The only thing I would comment on is the price. I think it is a little pricey especially once new additions come available and having to buy "stuff" to enhance the game.

Great game, a little confusing if you are use to Sims2. But it has its advantages, some of the Sims2 cheats even work!

I managed to preorder this game and got it only a day after it released and I was excited. I was even more blown away when I started to play it. It has fantastic graphics and I love that you don't need loading screens when leaving your house and how much more real you can make the sims look. I eagerly await to see possible future expansion packs!

I love it! Everything is so customizable, and so easy even if you don't know what you're doing.
Gameplay is pretty good, just seems slow at times. Not like the sims 2 where it seemed you had to rush things... In this game it seems like you need to slow down a bit.
Over all, as all things, it has its good point and bad points, it just depends on how you play the game.

I've played the Sims since # 1 . It's great to see the game ever evolving.
Check your computer specs before purchase. You;ll need a beefy graphics card.

when i first loaded it onto my well qualified and few year old computer it took 3 hours to load with no other programs running. then when it was finally done, it said that i needed a newer video card. Then i loaded it onto my even newer and also well qualified laptop computer, where it runs so slow that i dont even want to play it.

As of march, I was waiting to get this game and I was surprised when it landed on my doorstep on june 2, it was supposed to get here june 12 but i was fine with it! I downloaded the game and started it but i wasnt too surprised with the graphics, because everything was defaulted to low. I put everything on high and now it has the perfect graphics, but no speed. I would love to play this game smoothly, and based on its history I think it is great. But it won't really play on computers with lots of downloads on it.

You'll need cutting-edge technology!, 06/03/2009

Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

I was so excited when I picked up my copy of The Sims 3 today. And then I got home and realized that my computer - which is less than a year old - isn't up-to-date enough to support the game!

So BEWARE - you need a 2.4GHz processor AND at least 1.5GB RAM to play the game! Now instead of paying $70 for a video game, I'm going to end up paying $700 for a new laptop if I ever want to play it!

tips and hint guide, 06/02/2009
By Allaroundsimsfamily, marion, VA
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Guys and gals,
I have just purchases the CE. The tips guide is inside the case and is 6 pages long. The stickers and the $10 simpoints are also inside. The USB has wallpaper, screesavers, and thats mostly it. There is a offer for 25% off the Sims 3 Prima official guide on the back of the hint guide though, don't overlook that. The sports car in also included so don't forget to download that also.
I wanted to let people know so that don't spend 2 hours like I did questioning people as to where is the tips and hint guide before I opened the cd box.
I paid extra for the car and the pumbob, but I am glad that I only bought one and not 2. I don't think it is worth $20 more for a 6 page tip guide, a download, and a few screensavers and wallpapers. I was hoping for a full tip guide not a 6 page tip guide that I could figure out from spending the $20 difference for the full strategy guide that was only $15. Choose wisely what you want. I hope this helps before you go looking for a big guide book in the CE.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I cannot wait for this game to come out. I agree with the other reviewer about all the sims on the sims 2 starting to look alike. This game will no doubt offer way more room for diversity. While agree about most of the points made, I don't agree about it being too expensive. The base game for the sims 2 was at least $40-$50 when it was first released. The higher price is for the collectors edition. You can always purchase just the game to save some money.

So exciting and comment on the cost, 05/20/2009
By Gabbyk88
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I can't wait for it to come out. At first i was sad when the postponed the release but then when i heard that by postponing it they would be able to release the PC and MAC version at the same time i was excited! As for the comments i keep seeing about the price... The price is pretty much the same as always and its way worth it. The graphics are incredible. Must games with graphics like this you are going to pay between $50-$70. It only cost's $49 (plus tax and whatnot). The Collectors edition is $69 ( i believe) and makes complete sense. It comes with the prima guide and a bunch of other fun stuff. THe collectors edition always costs more. If you don't want to spend that much, just by the game by itself.

I have the Sims 2 and some of the expansion packs. When I heard about the Sims 3 features I just had to get it. The only thing I don't like about the Sims 3 is that it is too expensive.
