Lives feel more naturally lived this way. Now it seems totally natural to send one sim to the park, while another goes shopping downtown, while another stays at home you can switch between all three effortlessly and almost instantly. It doesn't take too long before you get used to the change, and it's hard to imagine how we played The Sims before. This freedom is pretty liberating I spent quite a bit of time at first just switching between my characters just to watch the camera pull back on the town and then zoom in on the location of the next character. This is a very welcome change, because the gameplay doesn't feel claustrophobic anymore you're no longer spending 95-percent of your time looking at the same house and then having to sit through lengthy loading screens for those moments when you send your sims out into the world. Your sims can go anywhere in town at any time without pause. As you've probably heard, the big change in The Sims 3 is the fact that it no longer revolves around a single household lot at a time.

The Truman Show is an apt description for The Sims 3, because it too takes place in a quaint, coastal town that your sims can go out and explore. The thing is, Truman doesn't realize that the quaint, coastal town that he lives in is in fact a carefully staged set and that his every move is caught on camera and beamed to the outside world. The Sims is the closest that many of us will ever get to Ed Harris' character in The Truman Show that's the movie where he plays the director who gets to "cue the sun" and manipulate events around the unsuspecting Truman Burbank, played by Jim Carrey. I've been a fan of The Sims since the very beginning Will Wright's idea of letting you control virtual people in their everyday lives taps that desire that we all have to be ruler of the world and tell everyone else where to stuff it. With the third chapter in the series, EA has introduced some overdue growth and made some bold changes, yet much of this brave new world's potential remains relatively untapped. And in this regard, The Sims 3 won't disappoint. It turns out that whole bunches of people turn to The Sims. Some people escape reality by diving into MMOs. The Sims, like almost any game, is about living a different life than your own. That makes it easy for some to simply describe The Sims as the equivalent of a virtual dollhouse, but that oversimplifies things. That's because for every hardcore gamer who scoffs at The Sims, there are many more non-traditional gamers who love the series. Often, it occupied multiple slots on those charts.
