The Sims 3 - Great Game

Think am getting hooked on simulation games,
New York Nights was a excellent game but for me it ended too quick,
another round or level would have been good,
but still great game

So looking for a replacement i see The Sims 3 has been released,
Priced at £5.99 is the only draw back,
i had to think twice on this,
the reviews seemed good,
and futures supports with OS 3.0 even better,
would have preferred this price at £3.99 - £5.99,

How it is advertised -
The Sims 3 for iPhone/iPod touch

Slip an entire neighborhood in your pocket with The Sims 3 for iPhone/iPod touch. More than 10 hours of gameplay await you in an open-ended, ever-changing neighborhood. Create your custom Sims and explore a 3D world full of other Sims who may love or hate your characters, or simply treat them with indifference. Choose one of six personas, such as jack-of-all-trades or maniac, and select from among 17 personality traits.

As in the computer game, your iPod touch Sims have wishes to dream of and goals to aspire to, from the lofty to the mundane, such as “use every toilet in the neighborhood.” Successful Sims receive rewards, while four mini-games — fishing, gardening, cooking, and house repairs — keep them busy between socializing.

MOD EDIT: It is against forum rules to direct link to images on other websites

Few tips which have helped me out,

first thing first,
this is what one of my mates ask me straight away when she bought it,
How do you Date and then WooHoo???
To do this You will need to build the romance up abit,
so more flirting and many more kisses
once you have built it up you will have another option so you can WooHoo,
or even get married,

as i was just going round and round,(go to work, then home),
i got the job at the town hall,
so after working for a week or so made friends with Ruth and ask her for a Pay Raise,
then you will be on $150 a week,

also go to the hobby shop and purchase the following -
fishing rod,watering can,soil,seeds and repair kit,
if you zoom out while near your house you will see a patch of soil to plant on and then plant the seeds,
tends to them every 2 days and there grow really big,
now this will save you money when you cook your own meals,
to cook you will need to purchase recipes(which aint cheap),

another way to make money,
go to the lake and use the fishing rod,
catching the fish is similar to any other fishing game,
so really good,
catch as many as you can and sell them you can make around $500 to $1000 this way,
also if you catch catfish Kia will pay you $120...

this works much better for me,
as before what i used to do was this when i didnt have money,
wait till it gets to 10 or 11pm and then barge into the other sims house while there are sleeping,
eat there food, use there toilets and showers before you go back home....

So Far it has been a fun Game,
wasn't a Big Fans of Sims Gave it 2/10 in the past
but how that has changed since playing it on the iPhone----
go buy it -

Re: The Sims 3 - Great Game

I was really excited about this game, I'm teethering on whether to buy it or not though. Am I right in thinking that you can't actually build your own house like on the PC?

Also, if you recieve a call/text during gameplay what does the app do?

Re: The Sims 3 - Great Game

is there another way to do the money thing on a non- jailbroken iphone,

you cant build the house but you can upgrade it,
the first upgrade cost $1000 and i just upgraded again which cost me $2500,
haven't changed the furniture yet,
as only got $8 left,

but been living off other sims food so far,
and only be kicked out of 2 house....

this version of sims is similar to sims 1 on the pc and the graphics are really really good,

same as any other game if the phone rings it will save there,
so when you go back to the game you pick up from where you left off...

Re: The Sims 3 - Great Game

i got the gardening bit wrong you can keep growing as much as you can carry,
so only carry the maximum or you will be wasting them,

also as i got the job in the town hall i went over to Ruth house and ask her for a pay rise,
try making friends with her,
do what you have to,
and keep asking for a pay rise,

once you get the $300 pay rise she wont offer you anything els,
so just slap her and walk away......lol

Re: The Sims 3 - Great Game

it is all part of the game

if you are dating Kia and then Slap Ruth,
kia will pay you for this....

for some reason as i was playing NY Nights before this,
i thought it'd be similar to getting a room mate to get extra income,
so changed one of the spare rooms into a bedroom,
but fter checking i dont think there is a away to get a room mate....
