The Sims 3 Collector's Edition

I played the demo of this last year and I thought it was awesome! The third installment of the Sims saga is more complex than the previous two, since you can customize basically everything. The graphics and gameplay are a lot better than the previous two games.

In this Sims, you can free roam outside your property (finally!) Apparently, while you're walking around on the street or the neighbourhood, you can watch other people get married, have kids or even die.

And when you get the central town, you can make or break relationships with other random people around.

Now while you're making your sim, you can change the muscle tone, body weight and make a HUGE range of faces, making your sim even more unique. You can get a job from a wider range of choices and for the first time on the non-PC game, you can have kids and have a family.

The Sims 3 promises to recharge and reinvent the way The Sims is played, and that's something that will affect millions upon millions of fans around the world.

I played a demo at a local store on the weekend and I must say it was every bit as awesome as I expected. The graphics are great but it will run on a normal computer (or even a mac!) without problems, or so they tell us.
The seamless neighbourhood is great! Being a Sims fanatic I've become familiar with the load screens and, although they're great if you really need a cuppa and a sandwich, I'm pleased that they've gone.
The only thing that annoyed me was that, even though you can track your sims as they go to work etc, you can't see them working. I realise that if they had put that feature in the game would probably be a monster, however, so it's probably a good thing.
Can't wait til Friday so I can start playing!

The sims have come back and are beter than ever before. I remember when I was playing the sims original at my friends and I asked him if I could borrow it for a week!!
Then I got the sims 2 for my birthday and I loved it, and now
I am getting the sims 3 with my christmas money and I have spent alot of money on trademe upgrading my computer with new graphics cards and ram and I have been waiting ever since the 18th of January, and I really can't wait only 6 days now and I recomend the sims 3 for all!!!

The game play provided by Sims 3 is amazing. You can now assign traits to your Sim. And whilst its tempting to make them into a complete saint, or complete sinner, you can throw an oddball trait in there and it opens up so many more opportunities for lifetime aspiration points.

Also improved over Sims 2 is the moodlets, which are little things which make your sim happy and have a lasting effect on your sims mood for the set amount of time shown in the moodlet. These moodlets can be positive or negative.

Your lifetime aspirations are no longer randomly assigned a la Sims 2. Depending on which traits you select you can select a related lifetime aspiration.

The only thing that isnt great is the neighbourhood. You cannot place lots anywhere, the locations of lots are designated for you. But aside from the neighbourhood, the levels of customisation are totally amazing. You can change hair colour, clothes, furniture, carpet, walls, flooring. Everything can be customised to match your decor!

Overall its amazing game and with 3 days of game time under my belt, I can see me spending a lot of time playing this and discovering the depths to which this game can go!

The Sims 3 is a fun and easy game to play even if your new to playing sims. The Sims 3 gives you the choice to create any person wether its a celebrity, friend , yourself or family member. The game provides a whole new world of posibilities. You can now drive, bike or walk any where in the town without one bit of loading. Every sim is diffrent with their new personality traits.
You could be a great cook or even an artist some sims may be useless at everything or hate people and the outdoors. You can also visit the people next door or even the people on the other side of the town. Unlike sims 2 or 1 you don't just wait for ages untill your sims come home from work or school because you go with them and choose how you want them to behave. The graghics are 10 times better with the realistic water and people. You can make videos or stories and upload them to the sims 3 exchange for the world to see!
In buy/build mode you can customize any object with patterns and colours. If you buy the collector's edition you get a free sims 3 beanie not to mention the cool sports car for your sims to drive around in and a 2gb flash drive in the shape of a plumbob, theres also a few things in the flash drive for you to discover.
The Sims 3 is a whole new experience from the other sims games and is a bundle of fun!
I give it a rating of 5 out of 5 it really is worth it.
