Sims 3

The sims 3 is a game which allows you to create your own families and decided how they shall live within the Sims community. The genre for The Sims 3 is a life simulation game. This fits in with the genre compared to other life simulation games because this game basically has no limits when it comes to what is provides for the genre.

The basic narratives for The Sims 3 is build a family, find a house or create one and begin to manage their social and economic life’s within the community.

How you approach the characters of the game is completely up to you, you can develop your own personal story for your characters and it won’t have to affect your views on the characters at all due to the fact that your characters connect to you on a more personal level.

The Sims 3 is a life simulation game produced by EA to give users a experience of controlling the life’s of self-created avatars by giving the player God like abilities. This game released in 2009.
One of the main elements that have been enhanced in order to improve the gameplay was the task list, in comparison to Sims 2 Sims 3 allows you to choose a lot more options when setting your sim a specific task to do, this is good for the gameplay because it makes everything a lot faster and fluent when playing.

Within the Sims 3 gameplay I would say the biggest challenge in general is balancing out all of the required needs of your sims, you will come to understand that the more sims you have the more needs they will have and if you do not make sure that their needs are for filled the results could be life threating.
The key to the success of the gameplay would be the interactive mode, this allows the player to create and modify the interior and exterior of their house to best suit them and their sims, this brings success to the franchise by allowing players to have their own individual designs

The way in which Sims 3 constantly evolves to keep the attention of its players is by releasing various map packs which have new and exciting features the bring something new to the game that has never been see before, possible changing the in game story of your sims world completely.


The target audience for The Sims 3 is for people 12 and over, this is because there are a few violent interactions that you can make occur during this game along with a few romantic scenes viewed as unsuitable for people below the ages of 12.

In comparison to other games targeting the same target audience sims 3 manages to give the players a more in depth feel into controlling a whole world and family of sims, where as some game can only manage to do a few of the things that sims 3 has in its store

The Sims 3 is only these platforms: PC and IOS, although the primary platform for the sims 3 is the PC. This is mainly due to the fact there are a lot options to select from on PC in comparison to on iOS which is quite limited in terms of its in game options.
