You can create Sims who look like yourself or anyone you know. The graphics are enhanced to make the Sims and their environment look far better than ever before.Ĭreating a Sim is now more sophisticated than ever too. They can stroll downtown to hang out with friends, meet someone new at the park, or run into colleagues on the street. Your Sims can roam throughout their neighbourhood, visit neighbours’ homes and explore the surroundings. The Sims world is now one seamless, continuous map. The series, which took the step from isometric perspective to 'real' 3D with The Sims 2, has now taken another step towards increased realism. Since the series was launched in 2000, it has spawned a host of successful sequels, and The Sims 3 is the latest and greatest of them all. The Sims is one of the gaming sensations of the 21st century.
