This can be considered a perk or an inconvenience, depending on what type of player you are. The story progression option (which can be turned off) allows the rest of the town to move along with time as you’re playing your “active household.” Sims in other households will age, get jobs, have kids and die even when you’re not playing them.
This makes it much easier to get your Sim to meet new people and interact with them. You also have full control of your Sim when they’re visiting another Sim’s house. Sims 3 offers a variety of improvements on the game, including an open map, which allows the Sims to visit community lots and other households without having to load the town.
In that respect, The Sims 3 is a freshened up version of its predecessor. There’s no set way to play it and the outcome varies based on a combination of the games’ set-up and your imagination. That’s the beauty of a game like The Sims. In fact, I’m sure if I sat down and played The Sims 2 right now, I’d find at least one thing I hadn’t discovered about the game, despite owning it and playing it constantly over the last few years. I say slowly because, like the previous two versions, a game like this takes a little time to get to know. Off the bat, I’ll tell you that like the previous two versions of The Sims, I am slowly coming to love this game.
Before I get into the full version of my Sims-so-far experience, here are some general thoughts I have on the game for those of you who either don’t want to be spoiled (and the full review includes a lot of specifics on the game) or else, are just looking for the express version of this review.
