After turning off my computer when I was finished playing The Sims 3, I realized something wasn’t right. I needed more. I realized I had become completely hooked to the video game within the few short hours of playing. The experience of playing God is very surreal which is what makes the game so exclusive.
To briefly explain, the player has control over a sim – a virtual human being – whom you may create the appearance, personality, dreams, bodily functions, and even sexuality. You begin by naming your sim and choose to buy or build a house for him/her to live in. You can buy furniture and decorate everything in the house from a bed to a computer. Soon you may want to let your sim get married or eventually have children, this can surely happen. Time goes by just like in real life, so make sure you fulfill all of your sim’s hopes and dreams before time runs out, death is always around the corner.
The Sims 3 is the third generation to its previous relatives: The Sims, and The Sims 2. The Sims 3 is a jump from the second generation because of the new aspects and features of the game. This includes enhanced graphics, more realistic sims, the ability to customize everything, no more loading screens while in game play, free navigation around town, and the ability to keep track of your custom content easier.
In the end, I would totally recommend The Sims 3 as all of the improvements from the earlier generations have made this game come to life even more.
