Positive:
- The character of the Sims has been made even more complex. The player can miss their Sim a unique character - from nice and friendly, and totally about workaholic athletic until pretty nasty and sneaky. Furthermore, you can make even more specifically its Sim visually.
- The job can now be found not only by newspaper and PC, but you can go directly to a company and take a job. If you've finally working, you can admire the work ethic of the Sims change (work hard, the boss einschlemen, hang out with colleagues, etc.). In addition, you can by eliminating the land-based gambling and see where you work.
- In Sims 2, there were many times during working hours "events" whose decision often impact positively or negatively on the Sim. This was at Sims 3 replaced by so-called "opportunities". The opportunities now refer not only to work but to the entire life of the Sim. On the occasions there are now no more choices, but you have to perform a specific task, for it then gives rewards.
- Unlike the last speaker I find the construction and purchase tool now designed better. Just this geospatial Buy and Build I find really good. But there is also something negative, but more on that later.
- Sims is modern: Your Sim has now automatically have a cell phone (in inventory). He can also buy a laptop, which he can accept anywhere with.
- The mood indicator is specific. In a field next to the whim display will show why your Sim suddenly has such a good mood or why he's just bad mood. In addition, you can his wishes (Bonus points for performance) now select your own. The game is now only a suggestions for possible requests. Really good !!
- The Sims of the city alongside with age. That is, a pre-made Sim is (as long as you do not play it), not forever remain "young" but mitaltern diligently. I find that quite exciting.
Negatives:
- The Chart. When I wanted to create the first Sim, the eyelids were not sitting where they should be and when the body changes (my Sim should be a little thicker), the basin emerged so funny that he still looked very much like a Picasso. So since there is still room for improvement.
- In most public buildings can not daily you! For example, I can not see how the town hall or the police station from the inside look like (except for the library). Even in my job (a restaurant) I can not to peek. This is very bad !!! I'm always so curious about how some buildings are set up.
- The scope of objects and clothing can actually still want very left. But as the previous speaker remarked already aptly, because you have to wait probably for the next expansion pack.
- During the construction mode the Land (of different sizes) are already set in the city. So you can not distribute any land in the city.
- At the beginning of the game Tips are constantly displayed. When this all reads, one comes so quickly no longer get out of the reading. This is a bit annoying.
- The time jumps but really get too slow. Just when you need to sleep 8 hours and you still have chosen the highest lead level, it takes forever until the sleep phase has been overcome. And the device that the basic needs in one shot regenerated (formerly of the rewards) no longer exists. So you have to always sleep when you're tired. There are other nice rewards.
Conclusion: A quite interesting game in which you have to reinfuddeln first time. But then machts NEN lot of fun.
