Create your own miniature world in this great game, suitable from twelve years of age.

In ”The Sims 3” you construct your own character, who you steer through daily events like making friends, work, family, hobbies and exercise. One of the challenges you meet is building your career. To get good wages and to climb the career ladder as high as possible you must perform your tasks in the best way possible. An important part of this is to spend a little time on skills training.

There are many new elements in this game compared to previous editions. One example is when you go food shopping. In ”Sims 2” you ordered the food, and then it was delivered on the door. In this game you actually have to go shopping yourself. You can also go jogging or take walks around the neighbourhood. The virtual reality simulator is also more advanced than earlier, and gives you a better sense of being in control of the game. It’s also worth mentioning the ability to film and take pictures of sequences in the game, which you can later share with friends online. If you enjoyed the previous games, you’ll most likely love this one in a big way. Warmly recommended!

Child suitability:
The game is marked with violence because there might be quarrels between the characters, which then develop into physical fights. Nevertheless there is very little violence to be seen, there’s always a cloud that hides the fighting itself. It is also marked with sexual contents, as there is some kissing and intimacy. Some of this happens in bed, but the only thing shown is a slightly moving cover. In this game there is no talking, but everything is explained well in written text. If you have problems understanding something you can press a button and another text comes up which explains very well what to do in the given situation.
