First step is to create a character; the process of creating one is so outstandingly detailed you could spend a whole day on it; such as choose every feature of your character from the type of clothes she/he would wear to the shape of its ear and even to the freckles on its face. A wide variety of clothes and colours are also available for your sim; able to alter the sizes and widths of each segment, an excellent piece in Sims and is one that makes this game so memorable. As a challenge to the company they could in future Sims allow the player to design the clothes that the characters would wear.

To add a more lifelike characteristic to your sim traits (personalities) are available, however only 5 can be authorized to each character from a choice of 63, an outstanding amount for a game. Every adult character would also have a lifetime wish and a day wish, these are aims for your Sim’ in which they would strive to achieve. This could be as simple as making a friend to something more challenging; becoming a rock-star. However, in “reality” job for them are required; again would be up to your desires. This would involve your character to search around, newspapers, internet etc.

About the game

Created by Will Wright Sims 3, the latest from the series, and is by far the greatest yet. This life on screen adventure allows you to create and edit “life” as we know it; clearly being non-fiction. Sims, being a game so undeniably distinguished it’s impossible to ignore, especially with Sims, Sims 2 and their ever escalating expansions. One of the greatest accomplishments; never lacks excitement and adventure which, on the down side, means that to enjoy Sims and everything it has to offer you would have to dedicate a great deal of time.
