Daniel Mitchell, "The latest edition of UK gaming mag PCGamer comes with a massive 5 page preview of the Sims 3, with the first released in-game screen-shots. PCGamer is a reliable magazine which we trust which makes the fact that the graphics are horrible even harder for us to swallow. On the bright side, the thought of seamless integrated communities and neighbourhoods sounds fantastic as do most of the other features outlined in the feature. Also, the pictures are from an early beta so there is still time for (much needed) graphical improvement."

With an expensive backlog of DLC that it struggles to run on modern hardware, The Sims 3 deserves revisiting.
They all deserve a remaster, alongside the Sims City games. Sims 3 in particular should be looked at more only cause of how hot it makes PC's.
A voice actor for The Sims spoke about his experiences doing voice work for the game's fictional Simlish language, and how there was no dictionary for them
The Sims franchise has been a part of my life ever since the first game came out. It was one of two games I camped outside of a store for, the other one being Black & White.
Nothing special and aside from the "open-world" premise, it could have easily been another Sims 2 expansion. Heck, even with the open-world it still feels like an add-on.
My girlfriend loves the series, hands down, while I do support her gaming habit, I must say these screens present nothing but disappointment, I was expecting some intense graphics, like you said MK Red, might as well be an expansion.
I don't get it... playstation home looks better than this and its on a console... could it be? EA has let down their flagship franchise.
That looks awful it looks like a slighty better Sims 2. I'll pass.
