Wonderful!February 27, 2010 Unique_Angel_2005(USA) I love this game! I've been gaming since the first The Sims came out and this one has to be the best by far! Sadly you will lose your supernatural sims but there are many expansions to come I am sure! The game play and ability to customize EVERY LAST THING is wonderful to fault. The Gaming community is awsome too. they have so many wonderful free things on the exchange and a freedom for creativity *as long as you keep it with the T for Teen rating*. I would reccomend this for anyone to give it a shot and prepared to become addicted! ^.^ Happy Gaming.
Check Out Graphics card Problem with Creating Character modeFebruary 24, 2010 J. Petty(USA) Check Out Graphics card Problem with Creating Character mode....the faces are blacked out and certain things like reflection wont show up even after going to the prefs. EZ support is really tricky to get a hold of. They do have this new live chat thing though. The game is great but some slowness so check yo specks out. I bought for a friend and now they;d rather play "webkinz" ha ha! Great game all and all!

So much fun! My only wish is that the plumbbob usb was built better. It fell apart after a week.
It just keeps getting betterJanuary 30, 2010 Heather(Memphis, TN) I loved The Sims and The Sims 2. I knew that The Sims 3 would keep getting better with all the new stuff EA kept adding with each revision, so I went for Collector's Edition this time and was not disappointed! The virtual items are great and I'm the envy of several friends with my "green diamond" (as I call it) USB keychain.
very goodJanuary 20, 2010 Mark F. Gardner(HEBRON, CT, US) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
