  • i love yhe sims 3

  • Maxis did not make the Sims 3, EA took over and shit all over the Sims franchise. Only thing I liked about the Sims 3 was the open neighbourhood.

  • no more playing chess all day long? OH JOY

  • Plus if you get sims 2 on amazon its 8 bucks used

  • Um i have sims 3 i have never played sims 2 but i will when it comes in the mail i am so excited because i see the videos of sims 2 and it looks alot better than sims 3 so i am going to try it out soon.

  • I got the game solely on number 4.

  • Sims 3 will always be my favorite game I think. I too play it for some time and then play something else, until I feel like playing TS3 again, which pretty much will always happen sooner or later. The only thing I dont agree with EA on are the expansion packs. Of course some of them are great, but I still think we are missing more important stuff like real apartments and weather.

  • @Zerogamer22 There is apartments they come with late night.

  • @MGimoro he said "i know this is just an extra one but its just addicting ". if you were paying any good attention you would know this

  • see, now this is a review.. I was going to buy Sims2 because my friends said its the best and he had boths (2 and 3 ) on his computer. But, dude you changed my mind, and saved me some cash. Thank you.

  • @HumanZoo22 Actually sims 2 is cheaper on amazon than sims three

  • the best reviewer

  • personally i got the game and i did not enjoy it at all

  • @juddy117 opinions,right?

  • Originally, I was going to get the Sims 2 Double Deluxe because I have Sims 3 on my iPhone and it's not too great- but the computer version is a thousand times better! Also, I think the picture and oppurtunities are better than Sims 2. Can't wait for my copy of Sims 3 to arrive!

  • @Grover0Girl That's what I first thought when I got it for iPhone too.

    Then I looked more into it on PC, and I just got possessed by this glorious game.

  • @phreakindee

    I found The Sims 3 on PC at a local Cash Converters (Kinda like a british Goodwill store) for only £1.99 (Around $3)

    I thought it would have something wrong with it because of the low price, but its a really good condition copy with the activation code and everything.

    Nice bit of luck, eh?

  • WHATS THE NAME OF THIS SONG AT THE END...

  • 6:05 lol bitch slap !

  • Dang, you make houses better then i could ever DRAW! And believe it or not, I'm a really great artist!!!!!

  • I've been hooked since i had my Mac..... had to sell the Mac.. didnt play Sims 3 for a long time. year later, sister gives me her laptop. .....Ive been playing nonstop for 5 days.

  • @emilyrichard11 for your info I did buy it! So don't start crap..smh

  • That house is freaking awesome.

  • i'm going to be getting a MacBook Pro 13". Will it run The Sims 3 no problem or mess it up? Any personal experience? This is my very first Mac.

  • I like sims 2 better in sims 3 the sims look more like avatars to me :/ and don't really understand it

  • @BrooklynHeree Buy it and play it THEN jugde

  • @emilyrichard11 I still prefer 2 over 3, but they're both great games.

  • You sir... are the reason I bought Ambitions, Late Night, and Generations.

  • if anyone wants the sims 3 there is a buy one get one free special at target. i got sims 3, late night and generations for like 80 bucks. idk until when that special is.

  • does anyone else find these sims less realistic than sims 2? also can you download stuff from exchange and get realistic skin stuff?

  • @oyeparcero it isnt less realistic. i used to hate sims 3 and then i got used to it and messed around with it , and love it.

    Exchange has stuff made by other ppl. which i think is crappy stuff just edits of stuff already on the game like recolored. u can download cc for sims 3 just like u did for sims 2, like off Modthesims, TSR, etc.. you can get skin downloads off xmsims. com

  • @xOhSoChic i actually bought it today at target since there was a buy one get one free special. i'm going to see how i adjust to it. i haven't been on modethesims and tsr in a long time i'm gonna check it out. thank you for reminding me!!

  • dude u rock! i definately agreed with the addicting part !

  • i have the sims 2, and after watching this, ive definetly made the desicion to go out and buy ts3

  • sims 3 is not maxis but an EA game means mediocrity at its best

  • Holy Sh-

    I've been playing this game on and off almost since it came out... and just now that I watch this review I discover that thing with the Alt key... I feel like the biggest idiot, ever ):

  • @DeathBlade182 xD Tell me about it

    

  • @tinycrown8 Yeah. Well. That's. Just. Like. Uh. Your. Opinion. Man.

  • @phreakindee lebowski reference... awesome dude...

  • @tinycrown8 if it suck then why are you watchin sims 3 videos????? just because you hate it doesnt mean you have to put it on somewhere sayin how good it is find a video putting it down then post your comment on that!

  • @tinycrown8 I agree! lol jk

  • @tinycrown8 F*** You!

  • @tinycrown8 doesnt suck as much as ur personality

  • @tinycrown8 Well u SUCK I.can.tell.u.that

  • is there a review on sims 3 pets?

  • Anyone know to make yours sims live longer when playing on xbox 360 :s?

  • guys important if i can run sims 2 can i run this!?

  • @SuperCyberTv Yes, the Sims 2 was VERY graphics oriented. Now, the Sims 3 runs on a variety of different computers, laptops, and Macs. More then likely, if you could run Sims 2, you'll run Sims 3 fine~

  • @StrawberryBurst569 Thanks, im gonna buy it now :)

  • @SuperCyberTv i hope im not to late. but your gonna have to mod your game to death for it to be good.

  • :/ I got bored after 20 minutes.

  • haha 970 days which is ridiculous!Loool!

  • he should do a lets play of sims 3

  • how much is it? It's for pc right?:)

  • @Brenda92115 The MSRP is $50. But it may be less and will cost however much someone is selling it for, check yourself! And yes, it's for PCs and Macs.

  • @phreakindee In Canada it's $29.83 but I dont know in the U.S.A

  • @MGimoro I'm free to break my own rules!

  • @phreakindee what is a good video card to upgrade from gt 8400 gs to make my game less laggy? What is a good cheap video card that will make my game run very smooth :3?

  • I'm getting this soon, but on MAC. Practically no difference though. So hyped! I'm gonna create a sim, make him WooHoo EVERY girl in town. Then he'll be god of the new generation.

  • @TheFreakParody if you're just now getting this, you should know that the latest update adds reputation. So good luck banging every girl.

  • Haha you live in the Wolff Manor!! This game is SO addicting, I want generations!!

  • i cant whaite till the pets and also you wher so right with nummber 6 ill play till i just pass out :)

  • Ah i can remember i qued at 6 in the morning in front of GameStation to get this, their was only me so i was disappointed that i wasted 2 hours of my life outside a games shop but anyway, I made him green and an evil genius, he wants to become the emperor of evil, that's why I LOVE the sims it's so much fun and unrealistic! Still playing with the character today :D

  • @TheCdeboy your a true fan! i got this game in july 2010 when my friend told me about it :S

  • @weirdsleepovergirls0 It's the best video game series! It isn't perfect but no-one can say they didn't have fun with the game!

  • hello! I was wondering... is sims 3 without expansion packs still good? I just ordered it online and i need to know what are the best expansion packs! Anyone message me and let me know your favorites so i can get them!

  • @Peytolittleones Yes it is AMAZING, i don't have the expansions and i love the game, although when i saw Turk on the sims 3 generations i had to buy it :D

  • dude I LOVE ur reviews for the Sims!!!!!

  • Lol at 4:43 - 4:53

    Walk into neighbors house while they're not home, use the toilet...

    XD

  • @UGOEI ...seventh? It's the fourth expansion pack, the other 3 you are referring to are stuff packs not expansion packs.

  • could i run the sims on my laptop. AMD Turion ll X2 m500(2.2 ghz, 1mb L2 cache) ATI Radeon HD 4200 Graphics up to 1919 MB hyper memory. 4gb memory. 320 Gb DD.64 bit operating system.windows 7

  • I am a Maxis junkie, too. I love their style of games and what they do with them. Sims 3 is an awesome game and well worth the buy.

  • can u move them or just tell them were to go

  • the game is so addicting I just re-intalled it a couple of days ago and yesterday I didn't eat for 24 hours counting the small time a slept

  • This game is awesome, but it's just not as charming as the first two games, if that makes sense.

  • i totally agree with everything you say about playing the sims and realising how stupid certain things are in life. also how you can go off for playing the sims for months at a time and then one day just feel like creating a new family and playing for hours on end. it's probably the most addictive game out there- and why wouldn't it be? playing god is fun ^_^

  • GREAT REVIEW.. ordered this game online so exicted to get it :)

  • "It makes me forget about how stupid life is."

    You sir, are great. :'D

  • this is for PC right

  • @c00kiem0nster2166 There is a Ps3 & Xbox version, but the pc version is the best because it has more features and it just feels better

  • @willdavid18 What is the game doing??? I might be able to help you?

  • Omg.. I play the sims 3 for like 2 years now and i never knew you can actualy expand the walls... Wow...

  • @JpalsPro ikr i was jus thinking the same thing

  • whats the name of this Sim 3 ?

    cuz i just might try it out :D

  • Another RPG element in it, is life time rewards, which are like perks. Like "steel bladder" where your Sim never has to use the bathroom again... my sister doesn't like the ones that take away the needs, but they are there if you want them.

  • Also, you can make sims FATTER. Not just dumpy, with a tiny belly lump, but you can make them Heart attack risk, Diabetes-ridden, Button popping fat.

  • @MrFishman55 LOOOOLLLL

  • You get attached to them too. I had a son and he drowned then his parents got depressed and I had to delete the save cos I felt bad lol. The new family is doing well though ;)

  • I saw that EA intro in the Sims 2 Double Deluxe. The first time I saw it and heard it, I was like LOLWTF?!? It says "suicide"!?!

  • Hi :) I loved review might buy one more thing is there more creative wAy kill sim

    Cause used make big family then have one die for story ?

  • I really want this game. My computer has all the requirements except my processor is a AMD Athlon 64 TF-20 (1.6Ghz). Would it work on my laptop?

  • @DiamondTeardrop6 I should but you might expierience some lagging. I think it's ok since your computer meets the minimum requirements. I was missing something in my game and I was just faced with a bit of lag and slow loading screens but besides that it was great

  • @TdafanficReal Sweet. As long as it'll play, Ima be happy. Thanks ^_^

  • I am assuming you are no computer expert, but what do I really know. But anyway I was wondering if when you first installed your sims3 game if every once and a while the screen would turn black and just not work?

    I don't know if it is just mine, but I don't know what's wrong with it and I can't really enjoy the game for longer than 15 minutes usually. :\

  • @inu19 have you tried turning the games graphics settings lower? that used to happen to me with the sims 2 and my old computer, and turning the games graphics settings to low fixed it for me.

  • over here the sims 3 is STILL about $90!

    which is about 71 USD. your lucky to be able to buy the games

    so cheap.

  • Hey what do I do if my sims 3 game is extremely laggy all the timeeeee?

    Sims 2 is fine..It's just this game..

    Sooo frustrating

  • Hi would this laptop run The Sims 3 as well as yours? Processor Intel® Core™ i5-450M Processor - 2.4 GHz - 4.8 GT/s DMI - 3MB Smart Cache Operating System Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit RAM 4 GB Graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 - 1GB DDR3 Dedicated memory Hard drive 500 GB

    thnx!

  • @HiMyNameIsMaria Should be more than fine!

  • @HiMyNameIsMaria He would. Dont worry

  • Great Description even though i already have it for like 2 years whateves good job dude!

  • does your child grow up to be an adult?

  • @EdwinTheAmazing Yes. Every sim eventually grows older and dies. Unless you turn that feature off.

  • I couldn't do better myself!

  • stange question but iv been watching all your sim videos and i love them and really wanna ge tthe game but my pc was bout like 10 years ago it hardly runs the internet lol so i was thinking bout gettin a new pc iv found 1 online but dont no if its any good if anyone woude be nice enuf to havea look for me send me a message and ill send you the link thanx

  • a ghost 4:02

    

  • Im getting the sims 3 DELUXE :D :D :D but first i need to sell ALL of my sims 2 games.

  • @CurlyHead827 DONT xD the sims 3 is a good game but dont sell ur sims 2 games. they r soo good trust me on it. im saving u from making a mistake.

  • @MagicLover3336 they are boring as hell tho lol.

  • @CurlyHead827 trust me on it im saving u they r fun!

  • @CurlyHead827 woohoo! sims 3 is awesome!

  • where u buy it???

  • so do u still play the game? because if u still do then it must be a pretty good game.

  • @stevie11wonder Yup, I still pick it up every other month or so. And of course, when new expansions come out I grab those and that almost makes it a new game each time.

  • @phreakindee This was very helpful!! Thanks :D Especialy the part about holding down the "alt" button and i can move the item anywhere. I have been wanting to know how to do that for a while. Thanks again :)

  • I have 1 GB ram, Intel graphics card and pretty much infinite hard drive space on my external hard drive, will this run well at lowest settings?

  • @Random7Guy It may run on the lowest settings, but I don't know if I'd say "well". Intel graphics and TS3 don't exactly play along too well, at least with the chipsets I've used.

  • @phreakindee Well, I'm buying it anyway, I can always give to a friend or sell it on eBay or something.

  • LOL did anybody hear a scream at 1:01? or is it just me xD

  • help! i got the base disk and the expantion disks and i dont know how to install it! can you plz help?

  • @TooSaucyForSpaghetti It should automatically open a programme to install once the game is inserted, then just follow the instructions on the screen.

  • ooh btw do you have to buy the expansion packs to venture to towns ect ?

  • @StyleByLara Nope, that's part of the base game.

  • does sims 3 take up a lot of memory on your pc / laptop?

  • Is it the graphics card that mostly determines how the game is played ?

  • @bigbroeye Yeah, that's a big part of it. Along with the CPU, RAM, hard disk speed, operating system... it depends on what you're talking about in saying "how the game is played".

  • @phreakindee my sims have jagged edges and stuff and it looks pretty horrible... it runs relatively smoothly other than the horrible jagged and pointed graphics

  • @bigbroeye Just enable edge smoothing in the graphics options of The Sims 3.

  • You're awesome :)

    Sims for life!

  • i have sims 3 ambition on ipod touch...IT SUCKS and it scared me a little...anyways but im sure pc is much better... <3 i hope i cant wait until i get mine GREAT reviews

  • I luv your game reviews... so I subscribed :)

  • i LOL'd at 6:04

  • This was a really god review thanks

  • As soon as I get this, I'm gonna create that stupid ass jock form high school and come up with fun ways to kill him =p.

  • hey i heard that we haven't got short attention spans

  • i completely agree with reason #6.i usually play it for a few days and then quit the game but a few days later i pick it up again to remeber what it was like and get sucked in immediatly lol.

  • @bubsAKAvermin

    Hey, bigot, do the whole world a favour and smash your worthless head open like an eggshell and spew out what little brain your indoctrinated mind has.

  • What graphics card do you have? I bey you have told people the answer to this millions of times but I would love to run my game like yours :D

  • @TheChoclateKing I used an 8800GT 512MB in this video.

  • @phreakindee i may install teh sims 2 and maybe 3 again i just uninstalled for memory

  • @TheChoclateKing I only spent 100 dollars on a video card and can rock this game on the highest settings. Very good looking game, and the requirements are low.

  • Great review thanks very much!

  • 2:54

    how do you buy those green bushes around the waterfall?

    I have sims 3 too, im in love with it. CANNOT STOP KILLING UGLY SIMS AND MAKING BEAUTIFUL SIMS RICH :D

  • @Sims3fanforev Hahaha, wow your comment literally made me LOL, hard. Scared the crap out of my cat, too! Haha, seriously that's some Dr. J.S. Steinman stuff right there, I do the same thing!

    As for the topiary bushes, I think they're in the "Build" mode, where you place fences and other plants and such.

  • so you have complete control over the sim life. you can run, visit the girl nextdoor, go to work and ruin the boss his life. place a small table everywhere.

    so why should i buy this game? i allready have a real life, updated every day, where i can walk to work, it's free with a big playing area. lot of jobs and places to go........

  • @Drareg1648 When you die you can't make a new life.

  • there was 6 reasons, you said top 5

  • @HitlerParodyTV Are you also the kind of person to complain when you get two gifts, when you were told you'd only get one?

  • @phreakindee lol!

  • He speaks the truth.

  • I didn't know it had a liscensed soundtrack. I'll see if you're pulling my leg or not.

  • Lol, second song from nfs undercover.

  • @pufflelover1 Actually it came with this game, TS3, but perhaps it was also on Undercover...

  • This makes me so mad! My dad HAD to get an Xbox 360 and The Sims 3! I wanted a new laptop! He wasted his money. I appreciate it though.

  • I Loved :D

  • I loved :D

  • you could say that the sims 3 for console is the sims 2 for pc with the loading and only aloud to go to the end of the road and stuff but with a few extra tweaks but the sims 3 for console is certainly addicting as i have tried it out myself

  • Has EPIC 'create a sim' & 'build' modes

    BUT

    I can list 5 reasons NOT to get the sims 3 (at least for Xbox 360). If I'd known I wouldn't have wasted my money.

    U can't have more than 1 family in the same neighborhood

    U can't 'edit' your family (eg. add or delete a person)

    there are heaps of houses on the map but you can only move ur family into some of them.

    You can't make a 'teen' and a 'young adult' siblings

    you can't move people out of home without the other sims being deleted.

  • and what I HATE is that you can't start with a 'clean' map. Every lot has a building on it. If you want to design more than one house, they're all going to be empty because to build a house you have to move a family into one (obviously) but because you can't have more than one family, it's going to be vacant when you move them out to build somewhere else and the computer generated sims that lived there will be deleted. I was so excited about this game and it was a MASSIVE disappointment

  • @kieghacat

    in my opinion the console versions of the sims have never been as good as the PC versions. There's your problem.

  • well, are all those things I mentioned in the PC version of sims 3? is there a story mode either?

    Are you saying that the PC version of the sims IS better than the console? if so, what are the differences?

  • @kieghacat

    Well you can "Built up" your area if thats one thing your on about. You can edit the town and add in lots of lots and housing. Then you can also move in lots of other households into them, which will all be there when you chose your active household. You can easily move a family out by simply using the computer to another lot, as well as move individuals or a selection of a household out and still leave the others behind and they will live on as normal. The city lives around you.

  • wow thats very different to the version I have...... see I heard they were virtually the same...

  • @kieghacat yes there is a story mode, and yes it is better for a pc. And Everyone should now that because a pc has more memory space for more things to do in game play and less choppyness.

  • @kieghacat thats only in xbox 360 virsons. In pc, yes you can create more family in one neighorhood (but not from scratch, everyone has to be related)

    you can delete a person y making them move out

    there is more homes to live in (about 1/3)

    you can make teens and young adults siblings

    you can move people out freely

    See? This is why when there is a Pc game, and a console game GET THE PC GAME!

  • WTH. I've played sims 3 literarly since it came out... (well not all the time) but I've never tryed the freakin ALT key.. :((, well thanks. There is always something you learn from playing the sims 3 :D

  • getting it tomorrow ! :)

  • This video you made, makes you want the gamee so much more.

    Im getting it for christmas. I'm anxious to play it

  • My computer can't take it :(

  • they were playing burnout paradise

  • WOW NO GRID i never knew that can wait intill i get $50!
