So, I bought this game for my daughter so I had to check it out first.
I got home from work around 5:30pm, popped it in the PC and got'er installed (runs great on Windows 7 btw). After the install I started playing around and made myself. (loner, handy, perfectionist, computer whiz, genius) ((ok, the traits are not a full representation of myself, I'm not handy
)
Then somehow, I'm not sure how, it was 2AM. There was no warning label on this game about effecting the time/space continuum.
I found myself tinkering and upgrading everything I could get my hands on.(that was tinkerable). Tinkering is fun! (well catching on fire isn't that fun, but you can't have rewards without a little risk).
I didn't see any bugs, it ran really well on my laptop (Inspiron 1720).
Anyway, pretty fun game. I thought it would be more "girly" (for the lack of a better word). I may be playing this quite a bit when my daughter is not at my house.

Simcity counts.
Happy Simming!
Some people enjoy creating, some enjoy storytelling, I happen to enjoy the movie making. But all in general enjoy gameplay overall. The creative outlets this game allows are ALMOST endless, and that in itself becomes addicting!
Welcome to the world of a simming family, look at it this way, you and your daughter now have something else in common to share, enjoy and talk about!
Oh btw, when the endless amount of modifications/expansions come out you'll really lose hours playing it lol
It isn't bad, though every time I zoom out to go to work or something I have the urge to play Sim City.
Welcome to the family!
Thats not a bad thing is it :?: :shock:
I got addicted with simcity then sims 1 also, my son liked the games and needed my help..he regretted that move!
but! I remember moving to california but I kept the sims with me and I bought every expansion that came out after that. I still remember my dad saying "are you sure it's ok for you to play this?" when I wanted to get hot date.
Sims 2 came out in my freshman year, i think. Oh...I played way too much instead of doing homework....
Then finally sims 3 and I'm loving the game a lot.
I stopped playing last night a 10:30pm. Oh my goodness, and have been playing already today.
I won't be able to play much tonigh becasue I have to leave at 5pm and won't get back until 8:30 or 9, I don't dare start as when I look at the clock it will be time to get up, ha ha.
Just love it.
She kept all her stats green on her own, and even went to work. Something sims didn't do very well in the preivous. And for more excitment, turn it down and watch as you have to make them do just about everything yourself. hah.
Graphics exceeded my expectations as well. Small bits like reflections, shadows. You can watch the shadows follow the motion of the sun and etc.
Awesome game!
I'm only having one technical issue with uploading content (I'm trying to share y sims with my friends). My login screen in the launcher is nothing but a bunch of code displayed.
Other than the bug, i Think this game is awesome as well, glad you're enjoying it amung all the whiners out there!
The game is really hard to get off. I always lose so much time. Its not a game that you can play for a few hours and than turn off. My Simming sessions are always around 5 to 8 and sometimes 12 hours :shock:
Welcome to the illness, there is no cure.
I dont know how either of us are going to function today on no sleep.
And then one day I came home from class and found her on my game, simming away. From there, she went to creating custom content (VictoriaMayoroftheTown on TSR) and downloading stuff and buying expansion packs and my game pretty much became her game. The Sims 2 came out the year after I moved out of the house, so I bought it and all the expansion packs and have played it for the last almost 5 years (as did she....thank god we didn't live together anymore).
Now here we are to Sims 3. I'm addicted to it. I want to play it right now, but alas, I'm here at the office and can't. Such is life. But rest assured, my boyfriend is feeding himself tonight (and the dogs, cat and birds) as I will be simming the hours away until bed.
I've been playing since... jeez, The Sims came out 2000 ish. Well, still playing these games after all that time. I still play the original Sims at work, as our crappy workspace computers cannot handle anything more, and it's still fun as ever.
4 hours and 40 minutes until I am playing Sims 3 again. It's gona be a long day.
