I'll be honest; this is probably my favorite game EVER. It's my go to game when I'm bored, and it's the reason I even joined steam in the first place; because this game is so cheap when it's on sale. It's amazing, the gameplay is great for the price (even when not on sale!) and I have sunk SO many hours. (It only looks small, because most of my gameplay time on this game is spent offline; and therefore not recorded)

People have been complaining of the bugs that this game brings; and they kinda have a point, because this game is very broken, UNMODDED. This game has a very active modding community, and they have almost patched in all of the holes that EA left in on release. It's honestly amazing, and if you have any problem, you can always go to the VERY active community for help.

Let's not even talk about the custom content scene. (similar to the modding scene, but it's for custom content like hairs, clothing, etc) I have spent LITERAL HOURS just fretting which texture to use, which default eyes looks better, mindlessly clicking "Download this" on any Sims CC website available.

And the core of the gameplay. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥'S SO GOOD. There are those small, tiny, details, like the outcome of an opportunity that you forgot to fulfill, or the scary music when a burglar comes in, that make this game as awesome as it is, and also why many people are still playing this game, because the sequel to this game, The Sims 4, is VERY lacking in these EXACT details.

People complain about the DLC a lot, but TBH it still has more content for the price than something like The Sims 4. (Can you notice I REALLY hate the sequel?!?!) Anyways, this game is worth playing, for any purpose you want: 3 hour fun with a weird looking green dude that woohooes everyone? 80 hour fun with a perfect white-picket fence family? Your choice!

Please buy this game, to show EA that they're doing the sequel wrong, and that they already did all of this right, if only they would fix all of the holes that they left on launch. What if they do fix it? Ah, a simmer can dream. :)
