Pros Very customizable. Quick gameplay. Seamless neighborhoods.
Cons Cartoonish Sims. Takes getting used to. Missing the hot tub and diving board. Buggy.
Recommended it? Yes

I was a latecomer to the Sims party. I didn't discover the original Sims game until 2003, when it had already been on the market for three years. I got hooked on it quickly and it wasn't long before I was buying all of the expansion packs, spending money I didn't have on a very entertaining... Read full review »

Pros Amazing fun, way better then Sims 2 was.
Cons A bit slow, lagging and skipping.

I was so exited to get the Sims 3 PC game. I have been playing Sims games for quite a few years now. I had Sims the original where you could hardly do anything, then Sims 2 which you could do much more with. I own all the expansion packs for Sims 2 and enjoy pretty much all of them. It was no...

Pros Terrific game!!  Can finally walk around town!
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

So far for me this is the best Sims game to come out.  This game has improved so much over the years.  I started played Sim City when it came out in the 90s and bought the Sims when it came out in 2000 so I have been playing these games for a long time. 

At one time I heard a rumor about... Read full review »

The Sims 3 ? Is it worth the hard earned simoleons?

Cons Requires good computer not to stutter, more money to pay for items in EA webstore
Recommended it? Yes

Introduction
I was very happily surprised when I first started to play "The Sims", and (after a few expansions were released to the successor) I enjoyed "The Sims 2". Having that said, I must say that I always felt like the base game (that is, with no expansions installed) was always missing... Read full review »

Just a money-maker

Pros It came with a string of USB plum-bob lights.
Cons Disappointing, childish icons, limited options only 1 town to play. 
Recommended it? No

If you have never played any of the previous Sims games, then you won't be disappointed with Sims 3.  If you have played previous Sims games, then you may feel like I do about this one.  I hate it, loathe it, and after all the hype about it, I couldn't have been more disappointed in it.

Pros Addicting, fun, entertaining, long lasting
Cons Addicting
Recommended it? Yes

I have been a fan of the Sims series since I started playing video games. I've played all of them, other than a few for held hand systems. In my opinion, The Sims 3 is the best. When you describe it, it sounds pointless. You take control of/create a family. You get them a house, job, furniture. You... Read full review »

Pros Improved graphics, open neighbourhood, more customisation
Cons Lack of content, neighbourhood aging has a lot of flaws
Recommended it? No

I've been a fan of The Sims franchise for years, way back to the original Sims 1 games. I then moved onto the sims 2 and own all the expansion and stuff packs along with several gigabytes worth of community created content. So when the Sims 3 came out, while not relishing the prospect of abandoning... Read full review »

After waiting for the release of Sims3, I waited patiently at Wal-Mart till the midnight release on June 2nd.  As a die hard Sims' fan, I was sadly disappointed that I could not play Sims3 on my laptop (Which is my primary system).  I was able to play for about an hour and the game crashed. Upon...

My grandmother gave me The Sims 3 PC game for Christmas this past year. It was some thing that I had been wanting, mostly because I had played the Sims 2, including all of it's expansion packs. This is not an add on for the Sims 2 like those were. This is a new game all together. This is why I was... Read full review »
