 sims 3 July 28, 2010
andree
I LOVE sims 3! it's soo much fun i can hardly keep away from it. I just wish you could play as the other people in the neighbor hoods around you. And there are some pieces of furniture from the last version(like a spiral stair case)that I really miss. And I can't figure out how to get mods for this one. When I search on the sims web-site it seems like you actually have to pay for them which is ridiculous because for the last name I downloaded TONS of mods for it and they were completely free. But other then those things I love it, completely addicting.
Quality and Speed? The Sims 3 July 26, 2010
Although the Sims 3 is a pretty cool game, the graphics and loading time really tamper with the fun. Make sure you have the necessary requirements on your PC or Mac computer before you purchase this game. If you don't, it can result in slow playing and crappy graphics.

Sunset1510
Great game overall, runs alittle slow on older computers and has alot of requirement to run (which i did not read and had to end up downloading it on my second computer instead even though sims 2 ran on the first one.) Has alot more actions then Sims 2 and is well worth the switch!
