The game principle is known and also quite funny and entertaining, unfortunately I miss somehow the flair of Sims 1 - it seems less loving, everything somehow reduced, little details. The textures of the clothing looks when on Black provides all kinda like SM paint from. Well.
Second point, the game locks up and crashes often more from. Especially if you have the extensions and then want to switch from races to breed (eg human to Fee). Well, the store will take with me again for a few minutes so I do not want to permanently save. So you can now choose Hmmm I memory or hope that the game does not crash.
Third point, what really annoys me is, you buy the expansion pack for 40, when they came out again, Accessory - packs for 15-20 to then? Yes, because the really "cool" content you can buy just about the Origin Sims Store for Sim Points that must of course get for real money. Because then you can times for a bakery station, as they were in Sims 2 Open for Business about to shell out another 20. (Are ajar with whom you can interact hardly, and in my opinion from the Game of Thrones hype) or for a piece of land, which is reminiscent of Venice, an ancient water wheel, 20, a world where you can hang 2-3 20 ... Yes you go for? As I said, you have the interesting items you buy all this, these are also the only articles in which you have the feeling that the makers have trouble against.
Too bad ... But there is only Thumb Down! The Sims 1 there were 125 new, loving objects, at least per add on. And now?
Another point is that only 2-3 Sims can be seen on the common land. What makes for since a OpenWorld? One builds several hours a night club, he is reportedly the hotspot par excellence, my hungry vampire emerges and it is .. no one there? Whom do they want me to hunt there? The bartender? The easy spoiling.
Overall, it would be great with all the add ons and the new graphics, but the whole game seems somehow sadly very empty and love affairs, colorless. I hope they do it at the Sims 4 amends.
