The Sims™ 3
The Sims™ 3 gives you a life-sim sandbox where a single household can become a long-running project: shaping personalities, building odd-shaped homes, and steering careers and relationships. Character creation and freeform building are the main hooks, while the life path gives you goals without forcing a single route. If that kind of open-ended play fits how you like to spend evenings, the current

01About The Sims™ 3
Create a Sim, refine body shapes, colors and personality traits, then build and decorate a home without grid limits; place, rotate and stack furniture and walls freely. Guide that Sim through a career, romance, friendships and personal dreams, and explore the neighborhood. Spending time with friends and family matters as much as mastering painting or gaining knowledge. Steam PC reviews show 85% positive from 31,127 reviews. The Steam PC edition lists interface languages including Traditional Chinese, English, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish.

If you are going to own a Sims game it should be Sims 3. Not every DLC is necessary. Only essential DLC I would say is Seasons for the weather, ensuring that something happens every week, adding flavour for what would be a bland city experiencing the same conditions everyday. I've been able to play this game for so long because of my love for Sims. I've bought DLC here and there over the years when they are on sale and I play it completely before my next purchase. When I start a family I play for generations and imagine the family's story as it changes through time. As a stand alone game Sims 3 is good. But if I were to play it without any DLCs now I might get a little bored with the lack of hairstyles, clothes, hobbies, locations, traits.Show moreShow less

I absolutely love this game and I've wasted way too many hours playing it, but why does the DLC have to be SO expensive? Especially when considering that the next generation of the game has already been released. I understand offering additional content for a little extra, but The Sims 3 takes this way too far. Either make the expansions cheaper or offer more in each one, because they aren't worth $20 as they are now.Show moreShow less
