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!

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

This was a recommended site for repurchasing TS3 in order for the EA app to download my DLCs! Cheapest and best option. Purchase went through instantly and my DLCs were downloading within minutes. :)

  • Fixed EA's issue better than EA

  • EA app is absolute garbage

The Sims 3 is such an excellent game. It is somehow way better than its successor, The Sims 4. There is so much gameplay and I highly recommend purchasing it right now on Instant Gaming as it's only $1!!
  • Open world
  • Cars
  • So much gameplay; expansion packs are actually worth their price!
  • Can get laggy with too many packs installed
  • Not so good looking Sims

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

The game works great. I have a Mac and my computer doesn't support 32 bit games (THIS IS 32 BIT) but once you redeem the game to EA you can contact them and they will fix it for you (if you do, do the live chat they'll fix it in like 4 min!). Totally recommend.
  • classic game
  • 32 bit, but can be fixed through EA

It didn't tell me that it was a 32 bit game therefore I cannot run it. After explaining my situation and saying how i would repurchase a different version they denied my refund application. Thanks a lot.
  • didn't know couldn't even open the game
  • terrible customer support.

It doesn't want to launch :( It keeps bringing me to the origin home page instead... I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't work, bc my other purchases here work perfectly.. At least I just paid 8$ and not 20$ but still...

classic relaxing game to chill without needing to pay too much attention. i recommend buying some dlcs to spice it up but even just the base is very fun. i almost always play with pets because you can play as more characters. the seasons also add a bit more reality into the simulation
  • relaxing
  • many features
  • just base game is fun enough
  • fairly cheap
  • could get a bit repetitive after a while, recommend getting some dlcs

game will not launch no matter what I try. Waste of $20 I will never be buying from this site again. horrible instructions on how to redeem code but then once I finally figured out how to redeem it, it will not work. I have tried so many ways to fix this and it's been over 2 hours now. I give up. Something wrong with the code or something. Extremely dissatisfied.

Writing this as my game downloads. This website is the best. I've bought from here before and I will continue to do so. I had no issues at all. The key was given right away and it worked perfectly. I was not asked for ID like some people. I highly recommend this website. Super cheap and works amazingly.

Love how they say this before writing a review yet they don't say how to get to this "other" section.. Please do not talk about Instant Gaming prices or services: another section is available for that.
Ive been waiting over 2 hours for my codes!!! I gave them the ID they required (which is super suspicious to ask for) my money has been taken and Ive heard nothing from them. SCAM?!
  • Taken my money and no codes.
  • Titled instant gaming but isnt.

Love this game apart from sims 2 this is one of the best of the sims franchise. So many good expansion packs and stuff packs that actually put something good into the game instead of just something that is in the background.

Not gonna lie, I was scared to download from here because this site is very unknown to me... but the deal was so good so I have to give it a shot! It worked and trust and believe I will be making more purchases from here.
  • Works!!!

The thing with The Sims 3 that makes it such a memorable and nostalgic game (for me) is the user-made content that you can download from all over the internet. The sheer scale of how much content you can download to improve your game and customise your Sims further made it so enjoyable, and the base game's integrity, good DLCs and diverse narrative choices just add to the fun.
  • Content
  • DLCs
  • A Little Dated

I love this game. I played it when it first came out back in 2010. Now I'm playing it again and it is still fun. Much more fun than The Sims 4. I recommend it to everyone who wants to give the sims a try, :)
  • Fun
  • can be a bit slow

This is a really awesome game, I can play for hours. My favourite points include create a sim and all the customisation options and also building and decorating the places where my sims live. Actual game play is pretty interesting too, I can get lost in this for hours. The possibilities are endless, you can quickly advance in any career if you put in a little effort meaning your sim can become anything, even president! Its a great break from the real world and a great stress reliever. Many weird and interesting things happen during play as all sims are amusing in their own ways. A great way to relax and create stories, expansion packs also expand this. If you want more customisation options for your sims like clothes, hair ect or build/buy items you can find sites where fans have created some pretty awesome content that you can download for free.

The only negative things I have to say about this game is that you can get lost and loose a lot of time quickly, you think your building a house for an hour and its actually been six hours and the suns starting to come up outside. Also, game play can get a little dry once your sim has accomplished a lot, like mastering most skills, being at the top of the career ladder, had five kids and completed their lifetime wish. Then you have to start all over again I guess... kinda feels like the hard work has all gone though.

Overall a great game and I highly recommend it. Haven't played sims 4 yet so I can't comment on which is better but this is definitely worth your time if your bored/stressed/ need a break from your own reality.
  • Customisation options
  • interesting/amuszing game play
