This has to be one of the most addictive games out there! You can customize everything -- from your Sim's looks, to their house, to the neighborhood they live in. One could play this game for hours without becoming bored!If you have not played one of the Sims games before, don't be discouraged. The game is very easy to learn.

I had to get the Sims 3, because I'm a Mac user, and the other games aren't compatible with the OS, and at first, I kind of missed what the other games (and especially the expansion packs) could do. I still miss having Making Magic and Seasons, but the Sims 3 is a very enjoyable game and it makes up for it with the customization and other options available!

I really enjoyed this game. It has arrived on time, and was in great shape. The game itself is fun! And has more features than the older Sims games. It's more to do and easier to access the new town it actually has that feel that you're in real life. I rate this product 5 stars!

This game was really fun at first. Then the bugs started. I have lost countless hours of play time due to a frequent save error. Most recently the game has become unplayable due to lag and various game glitches. What is most disappointing is that the SIMS Customer Service refused to assist me because their "email volume is too high." I was told to ask other players in the forums. If the players are more knowledgable about the game than the creators, then something is seriously wrong.

I love this game so much!

I could easily spend hours upon hours on this game if I wanted. It's so fun, [...]. I like developing a family story and going with it. Also, I love that the neighbors and fellow townspeople also age along with you! [...]. Just a warning though: DON'T GET THIS GAME IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER COMPUTER. It will not function properly and cause a lot of frustration. Check the game's website for system requirements before you do buy the game. And if you do choose to buy it, then good for you because this game is amazing. [...]

Love this game!

I loved the previous versions of SIMS, but this one is great! I love that you can customize everything on the game & it's much more real life updated.

Load of Fun.

I wasn't sure I'd be able to get used to this game, since I've played the Sims 2 since its release, and there are so many differences. However, I've had a BLAST. The customization (though you can easily spend WAY too much time doing it) of furniture and clothing is wonderful. The seamless neighborhood experience is worth the initial loading screen. So far I've especially loved the new career system, which is way more developed than the "Show up to work, come home" model of the previou s game. Overall, I am very satisfied with this game.

Seems Good!
