I got this video game for my daughter for her birthday. She and her sister seem to enjoy this game a lot. I'm not into video games but from what I see, it appear that my kids have a lot of fun playing this game!

Yes I know this is the Sims 3 but my granddaughter only has a WII and Nintendo does not make the Sims 4 for the WII, buttttt, I love the Sims no matter what version it is, Sims4 is nice but I still have my Sims3 disks.

It freezes when you save.

I like Sims 3 so much that when I couldn't use my computer for Sims I bought it for my wii. I don't like how I can't make houses from scratch, and I have to choose a pre-built house. Even though some are cool, like a tree house, I can't build it when I get enough money because I can't figure out how to use cheats and there is no lot room one I earn the money. I don't like how it freezes on me when I go to save it and I have to uninstall my game and reinstall and start all over again. I do like that I can kite surf (even though it took me 5 months to figure how to do that) and I like how I can direct were my sim swims. I don't like how once I choose my sim's look I can't change it and especially when they age up and have a ridiculous outfit on. I also hate how when my sim has a baby it doesn't tell you the gender of the baby until after you name it. Its very difficult to work with but I still love sims. I will be getting a computer just for Sims 3 very soon, because Sims 3 for wii is not worth it.

This game is a great source of exitment and fun! I love everything about this game and would recommend this to not just 1, but all of my friends! In Sims 3, you can creat as many Sims as you want with unlimited possibilities, build your own home and decorate it as you want! I have seen other reviews that say this game is bad, but from my point of veiw, its really not. But I would highly recomend this game for people over 12 or 13.

BIG problems

I just got sims3 for the wii for this Christmas. I was so excited because i love sims and up until now i have loved sims. My game was going great in the beginning but then i noticed that the cars were fazing into each other, other sims in the town were dying way to often, graphics weren't as good as i expected and the darn FIRE HAZARD. Okay well, earlier today i saved up 37,793 sim dollars and sold my house and land so now i had 48,747 so i bought the beautiful light house, but the problem was i couldn't put a single piece of furniture inside because it was a fire hazard. This makes me so very angry with ea games and sim3 because why on the earth would you put the game out if you knew it had this many problems:( So i brought the game back , but i will still be a sims lover though.

Sims 3 is a good addition to the Sims games. Kids like that you can make your own Sims and design their homes. Game is easy to use but it freezes at times which is our only complaint. Can be a problem mid game. Had to restart the wii to fix the problem each time

Sims fans will love this game. It is a great standalone game on it's on. However compared to the Sims 2 I think it plays a bit too easy and relies more so on the pretty graphics. Still there's many new features that TS2 didn't have. This title expands on old features in past games as well.

Not What I expected

I'm a big Sims fan on the PC, from SIms 1 purchased all the game adds on and expansions packs, same with sims 2 and now sims 3. so I thought the sims on Wii would be great. What a disappointment. I thought multiplayer was an option - NOT! although it claims multiplayer, its bascially a question / answer quiz that you can take with another person. When it comes to playing the game, there is no multiplayer. Game play is average but limited. very disappointed. I resold this on half.com as a loss within the week.

This is more fun than The Sims 2, because you actual age up and die in this one. You can have children, you can move or just sell your house and buy a new one. You can even buy a car. It is some much fun, we spend hours playing this game. Enjoy!

The game is horrible on the wii console!

I got this game on 11.17.2010 and i was all excited 2 play until u stuck it in the wii console and it makes funny sounds like it just doesn't know how to make up its mind with loading, and takes forever to load. the game froze on me several times. So many, no i mean too many glitches in the game. I am not a happy camper with this game. It is very irritating, once it freezes your screen, you have to shut down or reset. Some of the stuff like the furniture won't let you move it and the 2nd character moves really fast. i understand why the release date was delayed. I don't understand why they still released the game with too many glitches. EA has no way 2 contact them about this. I don't recommend it 2 anyone.
