The Sims 3 (PC DVD)

This is a great game to get unless you don't have time to get hooked on it. I don't do a whole lot of gaming, but I have a hard time walking away from this one. I always find myself with "one more thing to do" and then end up doing more and more. I would definitely recommend this game.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this game!! It is extremely fun and no it does not get "boring" after a few minutes of play. I have been playing the Sims since the first one and have loved them all. They are all fun. People complaining about lagging and graphics need to stop telling people not to buy it. It will not lag on EVERYONE'S computer. You need to make sure you have enough space to run it on. And if you just barely have enough, of course it will lag. As for the small amount of hair styles and clothing, TheSims3.com has FREE hairstyles and clothing that you can download to the game. I would definately recommend this game to everyone IF you have enough space on your computer to run and play it! (I do not have an expensive gaming computer and it runs just fine on it! (: )

So many of you are complaining about the bad graphics or the lagging or whatever. Not everyone has a five-star computer that will run something that incredibly large in a few seconds. If your system requirements are just barely making it, then YES, you will have lagging and YES your graphics aren't going to look 100%. EA could've really lagged down your computer. They could've made it to where you could barely run the thing by including so much more little things. But to be honest, a lot of us would be stuck at the loading screen! Also, you can find so much FREE clothing, hair, shoes, objects ect. in the exchange on the main sims 3 website. They're user-created and can really spice up the game. I never went without custom content in the sims 1 and 2. And frankly, I'm so glad that they took away the loading screen and gave us the chance to drive/bike/walk around. It's much easier to keep your eyes on the screen now that they eliminated that. And I'm sure there will be some hacks coming along that will change the way we play the entire thing- maybe even something that can show us into buildings. I think it's worth it for the money. There's plenty to do.

Finally the sims have delivered on what players have been hoping for: a game without the loading times. The Sims 3 is exactly that with a more detailed and personalized environment. Sims can be dressed to perfection and its easier to create mental images of your sims. Career paths are more interesting and there is more to do (fishing, take classes, recipes, write articles). I am in love with the game and can spend hours on end playing. Thank you EA Games! :D

I had the sims 2 for a while so I bought the sims3 after christmas and i love it. The quality of the game is so much better. There is no wait time during the game. The graphics are amazing. I like that you can choose the sims' ambitions. There are not alot of male hairstyles but you get 10.00 for the sims store. I usally dont play games but this game is so much fun. I would definitly recommend this game.

I have to say, that this is one of the greatest Sims achievements ever. Not even kidding. At first I was kind of iffy about getting the game, thinking I should wait till I'm sure it'll be worth it. Well, four of my friends currently own Sims 3, and all their opinions are pretty much the same. It's amazing, it's epic, best Sims game yet, totally worth it. So I decide, well, I'll try it. If I don't like it, I'll just give it to my other friend who's been saving up for it. So I get it, install it, amazed at all the changes they've made. No more waiting like five minutes to get to the actual game. So much more options in creating your Sim and family! I mean, they've even got like I don't know how many traits, but more than 20 to define your Sims. And with each trait your sims will react differently, and such. You can still get custom stuff on there too, which is pretty cool. And to the people that whine about how you can't go into the buildings, did you ever pause to think that the Sims Creators might come out with an expansion pack, that'll change that? It's probable, and it'll probably even happen. I saw it's totally worth getting. :]

I've played The Sims since I was six years old and I am now fourteen. I've always loved The Sims and when The Sims 2 came out it was a pretty big improvement from The Sims but I just felt it was the same in a way. When I got The Sims 3 from my father on Christmas I almost immediately started playing it and I could see the Graphical improvement right when the game started! The graphics are stunning! Then, on Create A Sim the eyes on the Sim looked nearly real (Its a bit weird but that stood out a lot through my eyes)! And the unique personalities on the Sims were also amazing. Anywhere from Computer Geek (Me) to Cowardly (Grandmother) they are there! The only thing I dislike is the fact that you can only choose about three-four personalities but, the other stuff covers for that small thing. I'm, yet again, addicted to The Sims again! Thanks, EA. :P

This product is definitely worth the money. To the people who say it is lagging, its true but now they have made a patch that fixes the lagging problem and is going the correct speed. There are many new things you can do in The Sims 3, like customizing hair,clothes,furniture, etc. I have played The Sims games ever since the first Sim game and this is by far the best in my opinion! Note: BEFORE YOU BUY THE GAME LOOK AT THIS TO MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER CAN RUN THE SIMS 3: **FOR WINDOWS XP Windows XP (Service Pack 2) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent 1 GB RAM At least 6.5 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content 128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 **FOR WINDOWS VISTA Windows Vista (Service Pack 1) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent 1.5 GB RAM At least 6.5 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content 128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 **For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least: Intel Integrated Chipset, GMA X3000 or above. 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent 0.5 GB additional RAM

This game is way better than Sims2. The graphics are better, it has more features, you can even make phone calls on a cell phone. It's actually easier to play than Sims2 and yet has more challenges and is more realistic. I am a serious Sims player and this game is the best one yet.

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.
