Sims 3!! Cant wait for it!

How many of you out there are Sims Fans? Well, I guess not many of the people I know too well even know about the game, but out there you have a large community that thrives on it! Once you start playing it, you just cant quit! OK, before you quit reading my blog, I'll give you a small introduction to the game.

The Sims is a simulation game developed by EA Games, the creators of SimCity. You can create people rather choose bodies from a collection, called Sims, and play their lives - you literally control them. You can assign them characteristics to make up their personalities, and also dress them up! You make them eat, sleep, bathe, go to work, watch TV, play etc. You can make them talk and interact with other Sims, you can get them to be friends or get them married or make them fight, make them host parties... anything! You can make the kids go to school, finish their homework or get help for homework etc. You can build houses for them to live in, furnish the rooms, paint the walls, decorate the floors, construct swimming pools etc. Currency in the Sims World is called Simolean, and the Sims talk Simlish. :) The motivation factor mainly is getting high grades or getting promotions in their jobs, and other similar goals.

Sims 2 is a much more advanced version of the game. It has better graphics and also you get to create the bodies - you can place the eyes, chin, lips and all other facial features to your liking. You can also make them fat or thin. One major improvement is that Sims 2 is much more closer to reality. Sims get fat if they keep eating and don't work out, or they wean out if they starve. Also, they have aspirations, and wants and fears that need to be worked toward. And they Sims grow old too! :) In the first version, they didn't really grow old after one point! Also, the skill range for the Sims is also broad in this version. Plus, the default plain version of the game includes two other interesting neighbourhoods (a strange place with aliens, and one place similar to the times of Romeo and Juliet) to play apart from the usual standard neighbourhood.

Apart from the standard versions of both The Sims and Sims 2, they also brought out Expansion Packs to make the games more interesting, like Pets, Vacation, Seasons, Open for Business, University etc. You can maybe take a look at their website to know more! Its really difficult to explain the entire game in a post!!! :) Like all other games, these games also have cheats! My favorite one is the one that increases the Simoleans (money)! :)

You might be wondering how people actually play this game. You know about games where you need to kill people or shoot ducks or collect tokens etc. Well, this is different. Its a game where you play God! :) You get to control your Sims' lives and they do what you make them do! Some people replay movies with the Sims, i.e. they actually make the Sims do stuff like in a particular movie. Oh and I forgot, you can make movies with your Sims too, there is an inbuilt camera mode that lets you make movies or take pictures and write a story. :) So that's one interesting thing. Or you could make up a story of your own, and make the Sims play along.

And now, they've come out with Sims 3, which is even better!!!!! Amazing graphics, and much more customizability, and now the you can make the Sims be clumsy, neat-freaks, dramatic, romantic, rock stars, leaders, or even evil masterminds, and criminals!! And you can totally customize the furnishes too! :) Isn't that awesome??!! And the camera settings have been improved too! Its out on June 2nd. I just cant wait that long!
