Quick question here, do I need Sims 2 installed on my computer in order for me to play Sims 3? I'm pretty sure thats how it works, but I'm just checking up because I don't have Sims 2, but I would really like Sims 3, but I don't want to buy Sims 2.
No, the sims 3 isn't an expansion, it's a completely new game.
And the guy at the game shop told me you can't play sims 2 with 1 on your computer, so I presume that'd be the same

Hey guys do you know if there will be more socializing options?
Or if you can actually put the furniture inside your house on an angle? .__.

And can you actually see your neighbors doing stuff in their lawn while you're at your house and then walk over there? :3

oh, and can a sim kill another sim? (:<

So anyway, the pirate version of the game has around half of the content in it and its still getting good reviews.
You just had to quote that.....

I might get it. Depends if I'm still playing Platinum 24/7.
