If you enjoy the Sims at all, you will love this game, even with its missing features, minor annoyances at all.

Also, the features are a lot less cartoonish than that of sims 2, the big noses aren't always so bulbous, this game allows more than the 'basic' face to be considered attractive to the real-human eye.2

But if you want to never have the same kind of Sim twice, this feature will really come in handy and give you much to explore

I have my graphic settings on medium, and I quite enjoy the unique facial features of all the Sims

You can even design more than one, so that's a nice little feature

I like the new features

neighborhood!The downsides said, there are some really great, new features

The sims 2 would have been a much better game if EA just add seamless neighborhood feature to it.

So, overall, it's fun for a game, has a few good features, and I recommend giving it a try,

This was EA's idea of a great feature.

This is an awesome, much-needed feature that brings a real sense of life to the Sims

Seriously one of my favorite features

I have read on the EA forums that there is some ridiculously complicated way for PC users to turn off the faulty feature which involves mucking around in the games program files

and I definitely feel like there are so many new features (like new skills like fishing and writing) and new abilities (like publishing a novel and finding your novel around town) that I could never go back to the Sims 2 and feel complete

Limited hair styles, clothing, Sim physical features and furniture

Another great feature new to the Sims 3 that I really like is the option to change the design, color, and every other aspect of decorating furniture, walls, items

The game has some great features that were lacking in the sims 2, but it also took away some of my favorite things about the previous versions.

This is probably the strongest feature of the game

The Create-A-Sim is excellent, the Create-A-Style is a VERY cool addition (one of my favorite new features), and it's really nice to have your whole neighborhood age along with your Sim.

I love the building feature; I can spend hours just designing a house.

Trust me, the game has so many problems that you don't even get to enjoy all the new features because you're too busy trying to restart your computer.

A great new feature

The personality traits and favorites are the #1 best feature of the

It's one of the best features of TS3

Although there are a few good features about this game such as tattoos and more customizable personalities, the game overall just doesn't compare to The Sims 2 for me

It is because the basic fundamental popular features that everyone loved was taken out

I have waited and waited for this version of the Sims and although I am truly enjoying the new features, the one and only complaint I have is the lack of "stuff."

I love the many new features they've added

This feature CAN be turned off, which many of the negative reviewers here overlooked

Those features are neat.

A central feature to the game just... doesn't work

$ for these things called "expansion packs" that add awesome features like weather, the ability to manage your own businesses, and owning pets

There is even a nice diagonal feature that allows you to place furniture at an angle

The color customization is a handy feature and runs very

In The Sims 2, designing sims' facial features was awesome.

Perhaps it is missing a lot of really great features found in the second game, but I wouldn't know.

This feature was extremely buggy upon release, and isn't much better after patching.

There were reports about the game speed when EA held their creators camp thing and that was months ago, if it wasn't intentional, then EA really sucks for not fixing the most annoying "feature" of any game I've ever played in my life

Everybody expects bugs, but for an important feature of the game to outright not work is ridiculous

Maybe I'm just spoiled to The Sims 2 and all of the rich features it has to offer

First, I'd like to give praise to the most exciting feature of this game: the seamless neighborhood

Still have some of the same problems as with 2, but I love the new features, and I think people are rating this much too harshly

inside.*Story progression- Story progression is a cool feature that allows the age of non-played sims remain constant with the sims you are playing

The random face generator has generated me some of the most grotesque looking people and facial features I almost turn off the computer in fear

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 prosCons:-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

In the Sims 2, I enjoyed how the sims' features could be cartoonishly distorted to create some very unique sims

The seamless neighborhood feature intrigued me, but when my Sims that I had worked hard on moved out without my consent, I was pretty upset.

The creative restrictions outweigh the new features

Having the ability to take yourself to work is a great feature and I love having the option between cars and a bicycle

I love the free-roam feature

Personally I love this feature- it will keep your game fresh as new faces and families will come and go furthering the random aspect of the game

I miss this feature

I will say that it is a lot of fun and the new features are very well done

I feel like they came up with just enough features to justify it being a "3" instead of an "EP" so that they could make money.

I know those features were not available with the Sims 2 base game, but neither was the ability to

Another great feature is the customization

Understand that this is a very fascinating and entertaining game, but coming from the Sims 2 and all its expansions made me miss features like weather, pets, going to college, owning a business, etc

There are some good new features as compared with Sims2, such as Professions and more interactive careers, but there are also some disappointing elements.

One of the great features is that you can get your sim to become so knowledgable on so many topics by allowing the sim to read and get book and go on the internet.

Then after a while I saw cool features like cars, which you needed to buy a pack for in sims2 and just as I thought I had been wrong about my view that the sims3 was real bad......as I was building my house and putting furniture in it (I had been playing for about 30

This is also an unfortunate feature EA did not pay attention to

I loved this feature so much that my playing style was to resolutely let each sim choose his or her own mate with no help from me

It's like they said "What features are lacking from the sims 2?" and came up with this.i love it!

Thanks, EA.But even this feature doesn't work correctly

The graphics are not as crisp as in Sims 2.

My wife loves this game, but she doesn't feel it's much better than the sims2 because there are some things missing such as not being able to create a restaurant

Hope everyone gets to enjoy it as much as I do

But I tried the Sims3 on my outdated Computer and the game booted up slow but wants I was in the game it seem to run OK good enough to play, and the bulding part of the game was not really that bad and the graphic detail were OK but not as good as in the

Camera movement is not as smooth as in TS2

I recommend reading as many reviews (both positive and negative) as you can and deciding for yourself

I get that this is to make it friendly to the casual crowd, but the UI is not as good as in 2.-As cool as the always-running neighborhood is, it does open the possibility of something undesirable happening to one of your families while you are playing another

The last con is that sometimes the sims will not follow the action as fast as you would like them to like sometimes when you make your sim take a shower, he might stand there for about 30 game seconds before showering

I am one who's computer runs the game but not as good as it could

Fun game but not as good as before

I loved the Sims, as well as the Sims 2 and spent countless hours playing the game

:THE GOOD*Everything is customizable, from the highlights in your sim's hair to the pattern on your sim's couch.*The sims can now be as skinny or fat as you want

the quality of the sims are almost as bad as in sims 1

They allow you to do so much more and aren't as restrictive as in the previous version

u look like a striper )
