Para mim é o melhor the sims da franquia, ele fica empatado com o 2, mais pelo fator mundo aberto ele leva para mim, EA antigamente fazia só jogos marcantes e ele para min não foi diferente um dos jogos que eu mais joguei na minha infância, enfim um jogo quase perfeito que merece uma nota 9,0
the last time EA kind of cared about this IP
Ahh The Sims 3... What can I say about this clogged toilet of a video game? If they were aiming to make a video game about being so god-awful boring that the players have to download illegal nugget p*rn mods off Tor websites just to make it enjoyable, this video game would beat all others out of the park. The only s*xual content in this game that made me get a boinger was when the dogs from the (not free) pet expansion whimper and whine when they are close to death. The audio for the dogs whimpering and whining was so realistic and on point to the real deal (I would know). This chinese excuse for a video game must have went many lengths to get that audio, probably from using actual animal abuse to record it. Besides that expansion, the game lacked all abilities to be enjoyed. I play on a 750ti and even I had insane frame rate issues, screen tearing, and many many viruses put on my computer from the p*rn mods I had to install off Tor to make the game enjoyable. The game lacks depth of any character development in any form of story telling, its basically just make a plain looking dude and send him off to create a s*x dungeon and lock your infants in small rooms closed off from society. Even this got boring and left me searching for more mods to fulfill my twisted dark s*xual fantasies. Speaking of which, I could never get the p*rn button to activate properly, I purchased a hard copy for the xbox 360 just for the owner's manual, and couldn't find anything on it in the pamphlet. No answers on god forsaken reddit either. I refused to clock in 80 hours on this game beceause my b*tch wife nags at me all day about leaving my excrement around the house all day. It's all she does anymore, just nag nag nag. The stupid b*tch won't shut her stupid wh*re mouth. I have been debating on beating the living pulp out of her, but sadly, I am no longer a man of violence. To sum this long hefty review up though, I will give it a good rating simply because of the unique integration of llamas and gnomes, very funny.
As much as I'd love to play this game again, it was literally impossible to even load up the menu. I was lucky enough to refund it before the policy time ran out. I've attempted to look up solutions with no fix whatsoever.

eu amo the sims
bought this game for 20 bucks. It was working at first I made my house and everything. It was perfect until it wasnt. I tried to launch it again the next day and the day after that, but it keeps saying error. dont waste your money. : (
Could not get this EA branded fecular turd to run if it were a perfectly smooth boulder on the edge of a cliff. Do NOT waste your money and/or your time. If you have specs similar to mine, do not buy. My PC is new gen. Says "running sims 3 on tray" so I click on tray. Will not open, all tutorials tell you to open the Sims 3 launcher and "set affinity" to no CPU, then to set the affinity back to all processors. This is incredibly unstable and I've lost hours and hours to this backwards method. You should not have to do this just to play this game. I do not support this. Edit: reinstalled .net Framework 3.5, I still despise EA but at least I can now run it. I can now make a huge mansion to make the rest of the town's Sims jealous of me in a stable and non crashing way, though the games process never ends and you have to manually pull up the task manager just to end the .exe. What can I say, you win some and lose the rest.
Me no like It no work it stupid me best me best bad game no work In all honesty I just cant get it to work and I think that it would have been a blast back when it came out but now it does not work well on modern computers
It’s been 17 years and I’m still playing this game lmao, probably because of all the DLCs I bought 😭 I honestly still love it even though it can get repetitive sometimes. Compared to newer life simulation games, it doesn’t have as many features anymore, but it still has that charm that keeps me coming back. Still gold to me (∩˃o˂∩)♡
