The Sims returns for their long-awaited third installment.
Its only happened twice and the first time no one really knew what to expect.
Scrub the shower, be late for work, clean up cat urine?!
Whod want to do that and call it fun?
Theyll be a lot more limited, but in the spirit of the game.
Were back where we started again right, expansion pack-free and waiting?
In essence, yes.
But this time, play is a lot more open.
Booting into the game itself reveals thatSims 3still realligns splines and unloads loading screens, etc.
I can see some people never ever having money ever again …
I know some of them.
Having things can be very addictive in real life, and so it is with theSimslife.
Its also easier to put up shelves and errect cupboards in the game than using Ikea flatpacks!
It is worth knowing before you attempt to set up your power couple teenaged Sims cannot woo hoo.
You have to be at least a young adult to do that.
Apparently, the legal Sim age is 18.
Teenagers can fall in love and kiss/cuddle etc, though.
Its now so easy to pop around the corner and grab some groceries, books, or a girlfriend.
Want to make new recipes?
Read a book about it or watch the cooking channel… which leads me to the next fascinating feature.
Our experiment featured the bastion of Britishness the Chav family.
This is especially amusing when you get arrested, as the police officer snarls, Oi, Chav!
Weve had enough of you!
or words to that effect.
I set up our Chav family to be slobs, couch potatoes, angry and rude etc.
This wasnt supposed to happen!?
They also dont complain when there is grime in the room, whereas most Sims will.
Work is now more flexible, as well as school.
Occasionally, you get a negative one but they dont really dent your progress.
More immediate desires will crop up and you could reserve them as before or get rid of them.
you’re free to guess what that does!
These soon start to roll in with lifepoints accumilating quite easily.
Its always been that if it floats your boat, its brilliant and well worth a purchase.
I have been playing this for days straight now, and I cant get enough of it.
The Chav family are so much fun and youll be seeing them soon onThe Simsonline portal.
The most openSimsgame so far, I cant wait for the pets to arrive!
Is it worth it?
