The Sims 3 is the next generation in The Sims series. The previous title The Sims 2, was considered by many just a brand new coat of paint, with a dangerously fatly design to the social system. The Sims 3 is 2009’s entry into the series, which changes once again the series to a different direction.

The Sims 3 is 2009’s entry into the series. Like the previous entries the goal remains the same. Build houses, then make Sims which live in the house and then grow your relationships and life from that.

The Sims 3 is built around a social system which incorporates fan sites, sims exchange, the sims shop and your own personal profile. Putting the Sims into the social media world.

The Sims 3 has Sim Points which- online can be used to buy various content packages. Hopefully this means that EA will work on original content, rather then ripping off the customer with numerous content packs. The only problem is that buying these items online is quite expensive. Though the site does have some items for free via promotions and downloading works like a charm.

Along with these social experiments EA has added to the Sims 3, it has continued the CD key and CD inside drive annoying set up that the previous editions contained. Thank god for cracks.

Inside the game holds various changes to how game play works. You now save a town as your main save. Inside said town you highlight one household which becomes the prime family. This household will start up each time etc. When you boot the town.

A few nasty changes for the worst though is that you can’t really develop the commercial area that much. With the area coming with prefabricated “object buildings” which users can insert. Though the normal house building has been improved and a much more enjoyable experience to use.

Score: Thumbs Up

It might have missed out some questionable content which should of been included. But unlike Maxi’s’ previous title Spore- it wasn’t a disappointment.
