If you can save your game, (there are a total of 16 save-related errors in the game that may prevent that), and things don't start freezing up, if ALL the sims you sent on vacation actually return home, and your pizza doesn't mysteriously dissappear, this game is pretty fun

The only thing that bites, is when you click change household, you lose all the wishes they have.

One thing I do like is the abundance of free-will they have unlike in Sims 2 where they stand around for a few minutes before they do things on their own that they need to do

I'd go into listing the things that I actually liked about the game, but then again, what DID I like

My favorite thing to do is make sims with very large eyes.

We want to play "God" while watching our Sims do stupid unexpected things.

My favorite thing about exploring the neighborhood is that time remains the same.

The graphic is weird (and my LP is a good 1), they changed the control system, u can let your sims do whatever u want (which is stupid cos they offering too much - how in the world can u find the right thing

It was the newest version at the time and just about the coolest thing you could possibly be doing, at least according to all my fifth grade friends.

I would record the unexpected or charming little things that made my sims seem unique, like when my prim little sim teenager fell in love with the neighbourhood "bad boy" all on her own and against any of my expectations

I will say that the recent patch vastly improved things for the most part

Some things such as "Accuse of Cheating" your Sim may decide to do and you can't stop it unless the other Sim goes to work, since work is the only thing that overrides most things, unless you have instructed your Sim to do it

They were some of the more annoying things to keep green

Now here's a few good things I adored

And of course there is the new seamless neighborhood which really is a great thing

Klepto Sims can do some funny things, Insane Sims have some funny social options

and the ability to do cool new things!

The super-fast forward button moves at the same pace as the regular fast forward one, so there is no choice but to wait for sims to finish mundane things, which waste real life minutes

Once nice thing is being able to choose any color for the eyes

Right now I'm having fun discovering all of the cool little things that the new Sims can do, such as write the great American novel on their laptop, give it a title, collect royalties, then go to the library and see it on the stacks.

And there are some good things about it

Nice thing to teach the kids!

There are soo many cool things to look at and discover - it is truely another world!

What happened to all the cool things that were in The Sims 2!

The best thing is, I discovered mods and cheats

But who can tell so many things are wrong at first glance?Purchase only if you're sure this is what you want and you have the right stuff to play it

Overall, I think there are some good things and some bad things when comparing this to Sims 2 and it's a matter of deciding what is most important to you for enjoying gameplay

It's a good distraction when things get too stressful around the house. ^.^

Some things are better in the 2nd one but this ones cool in different ways

Once you have reached the top of your chosen career you can still earn raises or do extra things for more cash, like perform concerts if you are a Rock Star or hold autograph signings if you are a top athlete in the Sports career

I got an Alienware 16GB ram i7 4700 overclocked with a gtx 640 4gb and this damn thing still lags

My personal issue with the game is that the greatest thing, which is the seamless

Another nice thing is that furniture can now be placed at angles, so you no longer have to worry about awkward placement of objects near angled walls

only thing was the number on the game when my daughter tried to register it was already used and could not be used again, so she could not enjoy the FULL version of this game.

One of my favorite things is the sun and moon animation

My favorite thing to do is design my own homes from the ground up.

can enjoy the little things in the game.

(for example in the Sims 3 you half to be in live mode to save a lot, in the Sims 2, you could be in build, buy, or live mode to save a lot)They did do some cool things with the Sims 3 like they added more cars and improved the Sim creator a bit, but it feels like this game has more flaws than positive things to say about it

The timespace issue is still going on and it is still one of the more frustrating things.

And the game is a little more complex, but not complex in an annoying way, it's a good thing

Haven't tried any cheats yet so things may be more fun if you can just go without basic functions like eating

Some things are annoying and will never be "fixed"

Many things about Sims 2 really bugged me, and alot of people.

Perhaps I need to play with it more but too many things are missing (which I won't repeat here since it's already been said.)I really wanted to love TS3 but perhaps as more custom content is developed and new feature are added, things will improve.

The cool thing is you can watch your sim drive from home to a lot

You can also control other things like how they work out later on.-Create-a-sim

The worst thing for the computer gaming industry has been the addicted undiscerning Sims fans who buy overpriced Sims junk on a continual basis regardless of quality or whether or not they are really getting anything for their money

My personal issue with the game is that the greatest thing, which is the seamless

The most annoying thing is that while we can see into everyone's houses and some places like the library, there are "rabbit holes" such as work, restaurants, etc. that your sim goes into, but you can't follow them

It's a nice option because you don't have to worry about playing all of your households equally to keep things realistic

How sweet is that!The only negative thing is definitely the time it takes for them to sleep

Overall, I think there are some good things and some bad things when comparing this to Sims 2 and it's a matter of deciding what is most important to you for enjoying gameplay

If you 'go there' you will find inappropriate things.

One of the nicest things in this game is that now everything is part of just one giant landscape

If you could organise your sims enough to go off to a community lot, time would actually stand still in the meantime, taking the pressure off your enjoyment of this change in pace for your sims.- No doubt about it, the "Create a Style" colour wheel/pattern maker is the one thing that is far superior to recolouring in The Sims 2

Plus i just thing the whole thing is pretty lame

Another thing I really like is now when your sim leave the house, time continues for your other family members as well

Another good thing is that townies are more attractive.

There are several trivial things I could nit-pick about, but here are the major reasons why...1

The only negative thing I can say is that my sim does seem to take longer to sleep right

To hard core fans, this might not be a bad thing, but to someone that wanted to see a fresh new version of theseries, I am left unimpressed.

One of the best things in the game is the gradual pregnancy

I wanted to make sure I was okay with moving forward with Sims 3 first - all the negative reviews here made me wonder if I did the right thing by buying Sims 3

Other things that were disappointing:-The 'super speed' is very slow

I love that at any time I can just walk away-pause the game-and go do important things

This can be a good or a bad thing, depending on the player.

You see, my favorite thing to do on the Sims, esp

That part stinks and it is just a money making venture by EA (of course the important thing to

Some things such as "Accuse of Cheating" your Sim may decide to do and you can't stop it unless the other Sim goes to work, since work is the only thing that overrides most things, unless you have instructed your Sim to do it

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.

I would record the unexpected or charming little things that made my sims seem unique, like when my prim little sim teenager fell in love with the neighbourhood "bad boy" all on her own and against any of my expectations

I didn't like one thing about it

Yet another bad thing

I missed the things that Sims 2 had in it's expansion packs: weather, college, pets, extensive hobbies, etc

Also, with the "Story progression mode", you risk your Sims doing drastic things without you (getting married, moving away, etc.), which can be very aggravating

This is not to say that there aren't some good things about Sims 3.

So far, the only cool things I can see about this game is the ability to change the colors on stuff

All for free, too.-One more little picky thing: the fastest speed is NOT FAST

They got rid of a lot of things that were cool (the piano) and replaced them with odd things (a guitar).3.

Everybody is doing their own thing and it fun to watch it all play out from day-to-day-Sims are finnaly smart

Some people would have you believe that that's a bad thing, but the changes add new dimensions to the gameplay that was never possible in previous incarnations of the Sims

Instead of buying silly things like life plants and face changing vanities, there are many-leveled, permanent gamechangers that change how your sim interacts with the

The 2 things I don't like is the time speed is slow & the aging from adult to elder seems too fast

I have only good things to say about this game

Good things, you are now able to edit everything, as far as color goes, you can go as far as using the color scale to make content exactly the way you want it

Another annoying thing is the lack of familial affection between sims

Funny thing is, my disc won't even read on my old desktop computer which host vista.

It has so many little things wrong with it that it makes it almost more irritating than pleasurable after about 2.5 hours

I have more negative things to say,but rather not waste my time.

The good thing is that their needs decline much slower than in the previous games

The only negative things I have to complain about would be the lack of items for the game, which I am hoping EA comes out with expansion packs sooner than later to alleviate this problem, and the closeness of the speed variations.

Also if you like to build, like I do, there are a few things that are better, my favorite is being able to set things in corners and diagonally, as well as being able to stack things on a wall, such as putting a light over a mirror

I started noticing some very strange things after about 10 hours of game play

I have been playing the sims3 for sometime and although it is fantastic it does have some missing things that the sims 2 had

Another nice thing is that furniture can now be placed at angles, so you no longer have to worry about awkward placement of objects near angled walls

There are a couple of annoying things in the game, like the very slow speed and slow loading times, but it also has a lot of interesting things, like moodlets and creating patters for clothes and furniture.

There are tons of wonderful things to discover around town

Minor things bother me about it, but the positives definitely make a stronger impact

It is missing many things that have been part of the Sims world for some time, and has many added features that make things more complicated in certain areas

So far with all of the amazing things that Sims has brought to

Less cheats: The cheats were one the things I loved in The Sims 2

Another good thing is you can have different last names for each Sim in a household

Another cool thing is you can now continue a family

Like I said, there are so many things to do

That's what I'd expect from a free game, not from a 50 euro something one that was bought in a store- the new version of make-a-sim and the neighbourhood worked confusing for me; I was making a sim, then wanted to add a second one to the family, but instead, the family got loaded into the neighbourhood (my sister said I was just being dump, but since I've played both the sims 1 and 2 for a long time, things like this shouldn't be difficult)- things in general don't look much better than in sims 2, yet the video requirements are such that we have to play it on my dad's computer, because both mine and my sister's computer aren't good enough (both are able to play the sims 2)- for whatever reason, the toddlers seem much less cute than in the sims 2 (they look a bit creepy in the sims 3)Good

My favorite things about the game are the open neighborhood (no more loading screens - you can zoom in and out of the neighborhood as you please), the high level of customization, and the added fun of making your sims live their lives out, not to mention creating the sims

The main thing a don't like is the changing households

Being able to have three Sims in town at the same time, doing different things is fun and unusual

Leave the house is nice, but you spend so much time trying to figure things out good luck

so I missed out on tons of cool things.

In TS3 going into town is one of my favorite things about the game

The most important thing: This game feels entirely different from the others in the installment

The good thing is that their needs decline much slower than in the previous games

The thing I like best is that you have options and you're free to do what you want!!!!

I have more negative things to say,but rather not waste my time.

Going places... the whole seamless neighborhood thing is overrated

Bad things

They'd better give us the option to slow down the clock (without the world slowing down) as well as the option to stop the clock and enjoy things in order for that to be truly worth it to me

and I decided I had better things to do with my time

There are a few good things about it.

, you can get to things easier with a map view, you can change the pitch of their voice, you can see what someone thinks of the other, ect

I liked most things about it, but there were a few things that bothered me

There are many great things about Sims 3.

your sim's wants/wishes.*Wants/wishes are more reasonable and you have the option to do them or not by promising or canceling them.*Some of the good things from the previous version have come back, like the young adult phase of life and the ability to own a car.*No more pesky load screens

The only good thing about the building feature is that you are able to build a fully function basement w/o using any cheats

So if you are looking for bad things about the Sims 3 you won't hear it from me in an overall analysis of this game

Another cool thing is that your Sim can increase his or her "handiness" skill by upgrading appliances (self-cleaning, unbreakable, etc).

I was impressed with The Sims 3 and although there were things I enjoyed and things that were at times

Another thing is their a lot smarter as well, a big plus.

Sims3 might be a good thing for beginners when they nvr had played Sims in their life before

Wasn't as fun as I

It plays alright on it but not as fast as I suspected

a n d refund my
