About this product

Product Information

The blockbuster computer hit comes to DS with The Sims 3. For the first time on the handheld, you'll be able to play the game in a similar manner to the computer version. This means you can design and follow a single Sim or a household filled with Sims as they live their lives and engage with the world in often humorous ways. Use the "Create a Sim" feature and your stylus to sculpt facial features, choose hairstyles, select clothing, and decide which personality traits to give your Sims. You'll also be able to use a built-in editor to draw walls and floors, add textures, and select from a variety of decorations to make your Sim's house a home.

Describes what it is
Clearly rushed by developers on the scale of the town, but the graphics are great, they fixed some of the bugs from the ds version, and its really easy to get into. Would recommend for those who are new to the sims game series.

Precisely what I wanted.
The game arrived in perfect condition (box included), it functions flawlessly, and the game's performance is surprisingly high for a DS game. The visuals aren't stellar or anything, but they're very good considering the type of game this is and the hardware it's running on.

Graphics could be better, but thats what i get for getting the ds version and not 3ds. Arrived on time. Product was as described. Fun to play.
