Description

Play with Life.

Create the lives you've always wanted!
Ready to live a freer, more creative life? In The Sims 3, you can let your fantasies run wild as you design your ideal world. Start with your Sim, refining each shape, color and personality trait until you get the precise person that pleases you. Design your dream home, but don’t let a grid limit you; place, rotate and stack furniture and walls freely and to your heart’s content.
Once the “hard work” is over, it’s time to be a mentor. Guide your Sim’s path through life, developing a career, finding love, and pursuing dreams and desires. Spending time with friends and family is just as important as mastering painting or accumulating knowledge.
Take things to the next level and record movies of your Sim’s adventures and share them with the ever-growing and thriving community. With a huge catalog of expansion packs and fun objects to discover, there is no end to the possibilities awaiting you. It all begins here; your adventure awaits!

Key Features

  • Customize Your Sim: Mix and match a vast range of facial features and body types to get the look you want. Infuse your Sim with personality traits and help realize their dreams.
  • Stage Your Own Extreme Makeover: Decorate your Sim’s home however you want, neat or messy. Use odd angles, create tall stacks of items, and apply your favorite self-made pattern to the walls and floors.
  • Range From the Home: Get out of the house and explore the lively and entertaining neighborhood for the first time. Be a part of the larger online community!

I bought the game not realizing it was 32-bit and I couldn't run it on my MacOS. I contacted EA customer support and explained that I bought the game but can't run 32-bit and then they switched me over to the 64-bit game in quite literally less than 30 seconds!!

Other than this small mistake, the code worked perfectly fine, 10/10.
The game works on my IMac 2021 M1 24” desktop. this version is 32 bit, if you contact customer support for ea they will grant you access to the 64 bit. It took about 5 minutes for them to fix the issue.
  • Works on Mac after conversion
  • 32 bit
  • Have to get support to fix this
the game will not load up and they will not give you a refund ... i try two times to get this game to load up but nothing talk to two tech guys trying to get this game to work but all it could be done it report it as a bug ... so i paid for it and dont get to play it or get my money back im so disappointed ... safe to say i will not be buying anymore game for here
please state that its not 64 bit for mac players!! if you have a mac dont buy this version as it is 32 bit which is not supported on mac. its not highlighted what version this one is anywhere in the description but it is 32!!!
  • not 64 bit
I downloaded it on Windows and successfully redeemed the code in the EA app. The launcher pops up but when I press the play button it just takes me back to the EA app. Idk whats wrong :/
worked fast and well, love it (btw dont download on mac bc its 32bit). everything runs smoothly and it was so easy to redeem and im so happy with this, especially the fact i only had to pay a £1. thank youu
  • fast download
  • simple redeem
  • dont download on mac its 32bit
If you're a fan of The Sims franchise, I highly recommend checking out The Sims 3. It's my all-time favorite game, and I absolutely love it! Even if you've played The Sims 2 or 4, I suggest giving The Sims 3 a chance - you won't regret it.
At first it didn't work, but it was a problem with my Game. If it doesn't work for you, search up Re:Sims 3 wont open alder Lake Intel 12th gen Cpu. That helped me, got the game running thanks to that.
a game that builds upon its predecessor and adds things i associated with the sims. FAR better than the sims 4 which then cut a lot of that. the open world makes the game feel alive in a way that the single lot systems of 1,2 and 4 dont. its just good
good and very fast delivery
it worked the first time playing but i couldnt save it, then i deleted the .bad file to save it then i cant make a new game
Will not download on Mac
All works perfectly fine!!! The comments helped me a lot.
love this game not so great on laptop but its still playable kinda. a little laggy but the sims 3 always been like that
even though little bit lag on modern hardware, it's still ok as long as i can play.

im using ryzen 3 5300u. scrolling isnt smooth. but its a good game. better than the sims 4

i have no problem with 32 bit like other's reviews
  • nostalgia
  • not smooth

Great
I have a Mac and it says its not up to date.
This game needs to be updated to be played on mac. I bought it but can’t play it.
its legit!!! im soooo freaking happy. im from nz so the exchange rate kinda sucked, was $3.50 instead of $1.90 but better than $30 which is what it would've been on steam. thank you so much! :)))
Ensure your Mac is compatible with the software. If it’s not, it won't open and they won’t help you find a solution. It's a waste of money!
works perfectly and got my code instantly!!
love it thanks!
Wanted to try the sims 3 as i play alot of sims 4. Its amazing
Ok
