I might get it for Christmas, is it any good?
I guess so, But like most games out there, Don't play 24/7 or you'll get bored. Play it once in a while like 2 hours in 5 days then you'll enjoy it. I started my family with man and then built the family up. I have a good house though for whoever want's it.
I thought this game was great. :] I played it quite a bit when I had the chance. I did feel like there was a lack of depth after playing for a while, though. Once I'd gotten some of my Sims super rich and in a mansion, what else was there to do? To me it kind of felt like EA cheaped out to push the game through so they could get people to buy all the expansions. Then again, isn't that what they always do? 
My best advice is not to overdo it! I did, but I can't really play it anymore so I guess that all works out for the best~

Yeah, I think that if EA didn't do "motherload" cheat. Then Sims 3 would have been more challenging and more fun.Shuyin said:I thought this game was great. :] I played it quite a bit when I had the chance.

Just don't use the cheat, or any cheat for that matter. Makes it make much longer & it's so much more fun.The JJ said:Yeah, I think that if EA didn't do "motherload" cheat.

Yeah I never bothered using any of the cheats, but I didn't want to or need to so why bother? I was awful at the other Sims games, but not this one for some reason. I'm not sure if they changed the difficulty of some things, or maybe I was too young when I actually did play The Sims to grasp it properly at all.

Cheating ruins any sort of simulation type games, IMO~ :[ Animal Crossing, the Sims.. They all kind of lose their purpose when you just get things instantly instead of workin' for them.
Anywho! Still, I'd say not to overplay it too much.

Same. The Sims 2 had more to offer.nintenmad said:I love the game, but it just doesnt feel as good as the sims 2 did
Finally got World Adventures installed and I played it for a while. It's fun and everything, and finally got into the debug and made a few mazes and tombs. Hopefully the next expansion will give some new features like this. I miss my zombie/vampire/werewolf Sims from TS2, even though the mummy thing is kinda neat.

If you know how to get into the debugging with the testingcheats enabled, then you can make tombs with all sorts of secret doors and traps.The JJ said:
with the basement feature of course, which you can use on residential and community lots.
You have the option to go on vacation to either a Chinese themed place, an Egyptian themed place, or a placed based somewhere in France, all of which have their own unique types of items, new fish, bugs, and all sorts of collectibles.
and there are four or five new career paths to go into.

Pets would be interesting in the sims 3. Considering it's open world and ability to go anywhere.Shuyin said:
I can see people needing to make fences to keep their pets at home. lol
If they do add pets, more than dogs and cats should be added. I like my fair share of birds and reptiles too.
Hell yes! I want 4 of them! >Jas0n said:
Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael of course~! Also! They could add a new career if the pets did run away ~ Animal Police! Haha. I really like the idea of putting the pets in competitions and such. Come on EA, just rip a couple of ideas from Nintendogs and add a few of your own. I know you have it in you! ;D
