The Sims 3 Game

The Sims 3 is a 2009 strategic life simulation video game in The Sims franchise, originally created by Maxis. It was released on DVD for only Microsoft Windows and Macintosh on June 2, 2009 in North America, June 4, 2009 in Australia and June 5, 2009 in Europe. The Sims 3 will be released on consoles PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and Nintendo DS on October 26, 2010.[10][11][12] There is also a Nintendo 3DS version in the works.[13] The release date is currently unknown.
The Sims 3 is built upon the same concept as its predecessor. Players control their Sims in various activities and form relationships in a manner similar to real life. The Sims 3, like The Sims and The Sims 2, does not have a defined goal and gameplay is open-ended.
The Sims 3 proved to be an instant success, selling 1.4 million copies in its first week and dominating the sales charts over a month later.[14] Critics issued mostly positive reviews. The Sims 3 gained an 86% score from aggregator Metacritic.
Sim houses and neighborhoods are entirely in one continuous map. The developers stated, "What you do outside your home now matters as much as what you do within." The game includes an optional feature called "Story Progression",this allows all NPC Sims in the neighborhood to autonomously continue as if the player was controlling them, such as grow up, get married, get jobs and promotions, have children, build or buy their dream house.
