The first of these new additions will be a more open, seamless world for your Sims to inhabit Rather than being trapped in a pit of your own virtual filth, with only a few token public areas (shops, parks and the like), you'll now be able to wander across the lawn and have a peep through your next-door neighbour's window.
So while The Sims 3 will never be a PC cover game, you can be sure we'll be keeping an eye on it - especially as the EA development team are apparently taking tips from Wright's forthcoming opus Spore, and are promising more features to appeal to us so-called hardcore PC gamers. More likely, it's both of the above, and the fact that perhaps, after all, there is a great game here - created by game visionary Will Wright - that has become a worldwide phenomenon, shifting close to 100 million units. Or maybe it's because of the endless chartclogging expansion packs - Teen Stuff, Makin'Magic, University et al - that for us, sum up everything that is bad and cynical about the gaming industry. Maybe our schizophrenic behaviour is because we're gaming snobs, unable to appreciate the fact that within our overwhelmingly male hobby, nearly 60 per cent of Sims players are female, and convinced that this isn't a proper game like World of Warcraft or Crysis. We might occasionally do a 'Sims-free' Top 20 chart or give a risible expansion pack such as The Sims 2: H&M Fashion Stuff a well-deserved Dump award, but we also thoroughly enjoyed mucking about with toilet training our Sims in a Jackass feature and will heap praise and a 72% score upon a genuinely excellent addition to the franchise such as The Sims 2: Open for Business.
We Have Ah uncomfortable relationship with The Sims here at PC. 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 major point of the game is that you get to control every aspect of your sims life. Sims sometimes struggle to find paths, which can slow down travel.
While this is greatly improved over previous versions, it’s not perfect. They’ll take the most direct route, which really helps in making travel easier. 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. Travel has been greatly improved in this game as well. 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. The game is also stocked with fun additions that only appear if you are in the right place at the right time.
Socializing with friends is as easy as calling people from other neighborhoods and inviting them over.
