The Sims 3 2010-08-30

By Susie

I purchased this product on Amazon.com. We recieved this product in the mail as usual, no delays. We had trouble downloading this game on to our computer with much difficulty. we then purchased a brand new PC and proceded to download this game on the new computer. Now the game sits because it freezes up every two minutes...Not fun at all!!! Three teenagers, thumbs down. One mom, out some more money. No Thank You.

Better than I expected 2010-08-25

By yelhsa (USA)

I played Sims 1 a long time ago and it got old really fast. I hated how you had to tell them to do everything, and they got depressed extremely fast. I love all of the new features and the customizations. This version is WAY better. I figured out if I make the character a work-a-holic clean-freak then I pretty much don't have to tell them to do much at all, and it builds life points really fast. I cannot play this game too long or I feel a bit like my brain is starting to numb, but it's a good escape for a couple of hours a week. Enjoyable!

its ok, nothing speacial 2010-08-19

By Mahal (La Quinta, CA USA)

I wanted to see what all the big hype was. I played the first two and this is just like them. It has corected some errors of the games before, but it is not much of a game. No goals or no way to tell if you win.

Best Sims Game Yet 2010-08-18

By Apple

This is the best Sims game yet. Everything is so detailed and you can do so much more on this game. Everything is so much more realistic. It's like a real town. The game is even better with expansion packs and better with downloaded custom content.

Beware of this game 2010-08-07

By T. Chase (Santa Rosa, CA United States)

I purchased this game and I have Vista 7 - at least three times while playing this game I have experienced my character disappearing on my screen but still can see the green diamond above his/her head. Then I would not see the Sims 3 Control Panel as well. I was not able to play my game from then on. Don't buy this guy if you want to have problems - I have had one problem after another with this game. Sims 2 did not have any problems what so ever. Once your game character disappears you have no way of continuing the game and controling your characters. EA needs to fix this issue immediately. I will NEVER buy another Sims game EVER. I have also purchased all the expansion packs and have wasted my money.
