A new game in the Sims series

I've been looking forward for years to the new Sims game. When all the bad news about it then have been raised that, for example, the well-beloved Create-A-Style mode was abolished and there is no open neighborhood and there is no big news, as with its predecessors, anyway, I was initially very disappointed.

However, I still bought the game and give him a chance as a new Sims game. Under this point, I found the game really succeeded. The graphics are appealing and intuitive Create-A-Sim mode is great fun. Here you can spend hours wandering around the Sim until you have created the right one for themselves. It's also nice that a finite number of ethnic groups are prefabricated and represented, thereby making the game more vivid.

The emotions a lot of fun and are at last on the face and behavior of Sims noticeably. But who needs these deter some are not afraid, because it really is very easy to bring the emotions into something positive, so that the Sims are mostly happy. Pro Emotion there then great interactions that are only unlocked. A sad Sim can, for example, good cry in bed and a playful Sim can stare at other people crazy. Inspired Sims paint and cook outstanding and romantic Sims are coveted lovers, kissing passionately.

Very good, I like also that you have to perform tasks now to meet the goal of life (aspiration) of Sims. Sometimes these tasks are really intended for a Simleben because mothers / fathers who want to have a large family, for example, "must ensure" that their children marry again. Other efforts are adapted to the career, etc. Children also have their own efforts, you can meet good and give the lives of the little children so restricted a small "sense".

EA the many disappointed opinions has also taken to heart and edited many free updates since the release. Thus, there is now in the basic game also pools, spirits, more careers and pedigrees ...

The construction mode is now really a lot easier and you can move on the plot finally finished houses. In addition, a bug is left, by one can make with the key combination (Shift and `right?) Any item larger or smaller. The only thing that bothers me is that you unfortunately either has a foundation under the buildings or not. This means, for example. If you build a house on a high foundation and built next to a small garden shed, has this forced an equally high foundation.

The world is not more open but in every part of the neighborhood, there is a generous, open terrain on which it is partly also playgrounds and parks out there that can use without having to travel the Sims. Neighbors also run continuously past the houses, so you can get to know well.

My conclusion is this: Whoever comes out that this Sims game is a stand-alone game and it does not consistently compare with its predecessors, will have great fun here and be just as enchanted as the Sims have always done it.
