Sims 3 is the newest update to the popular “Sims” series. In these games, the player takes control over the life of an actual sim, and helps direct them through their life. Sims need to eat, sleep, socialize, go to the bathroom, and more in order to meet all their needs—and they need you to help them do it. Sims 3 brings a range of new features to the game, so much so that it really does feel like it’s a new game rather than the same old one.

True free exploration
In Sims 2 and earlier versions of the game, moving between areas in the game was very glitchy. It made a game simulating real life to feel very far from it. In Sims 3, the game mechanics are much smoother. Passing from one area into the next feels natural, and makes the whole game feel much more lifelike.
Not only is traveling from one area to another more smooth, communication has also been made easier. Socializing with friends is as easy as calling people from other neighborhoods and inviting them over.The game is also stocked with fun additions that only appear if you are in the right place at the right time. If you want to see ghosts for example, stop by the cemetery at midnight, or if you happen to be at the park when others are there, you can join an impromptu picnic.
Travel has been greatly improved in this game as well. If you want your sim to go to the outskirts of town, simply clicking on the area will have your sim travel there on their own. They’ll take the most direct route, which really helps in making travel easier. While this is greatly improved over previous versions, it’s not perfect. Sims sometimes struggle to find paths, which can slow down travel.
Control SIM life
The major point of the game is that you get to control every aspect of your sims life. This usually means trying to make them happy, but of course, what’s the point of playing at god if you don’t have some fun too?
The sims react in remarkably realistic ways if you put them through situations they may not be wild about. If your sim isn’t a natural athlete, sending them to the gym for an hour gives hilarious results. You can also place them in a room without doors, or have them kiss a stranger in front of their spouses to see their reactions. Sims are very lifelike in how they react, which is what makes this game so addictive.
Sims 3 is wildly popular for a good reason. It’s one of those rare games that you can play forever and still find it entertaining. It provides some of the best value out there in the gaming world, and it’s one of the most well thought out simulators available. This is why the entire Sims line has been a favorite with people for years. It’s just that good.
