We sunk most of our money into partnering with local businesses so our daughters wouldn’t need to worry about money in the future.Īnother horse, a cat, two dogs, and a unicorn later, and Gage was a level 8 scientist and I was a level 8 horsewoman. Gage gained promotions quickly and I finally adopted my first wild horse and started entering show jumping competitions with him. Somehow, we managed to raise two kids in our little shack with a bunch of animals and pursue our careers at the same time. I hadn’t planned on continuing my legacy until much later in life but now I had two daughters. Soon after, we unexpectedly found out we were having a baby… make that two babies, actually. Apparently, it’s the top of the Science career track so he got a job at the lab. His Lifetime Wish was to become a Creature-Robot Cross Breeder… whatever that is. In the process of bringing my equestrian dreams to life, I met a Sim named Gage Briody, fell in love, and married him. I also started working on my riding skill in order to start adopting wild horses and maybe even tame a unicorn one day. My Lifetime Wish was to be an Animal Rescuer so I quickly acquired quite a lot of pets from the shelter. I made my Simself and started a “legacy” on the largest lot in Sunset Valley, beginning my new life in a tiny shack. It’s mostly pretty smooth but the open world does still cause it to lag up a bit here and there. So after jumping through a million hoops to make sure the game would even run at all on my new high-end gaming laptop, I could get it to run… okay. Horses are, perhaps, the only thing The Sims 3 did really well and I wanted to experience that again. I love The Sims 4 Cottage Living but it made me miss horses all that much more. Now, with that out of the way, we can get to what’s good about it and what made me decide to play it again after all these years. Not to mention I find a lot of the gameplay people praise it for is actually quite one-dimensional and shallow. The graphics are terrifying, the Sims look like freaky deformed potatoes, the animations are robotic and clunky, and much-loved features like the open world and create-a-style only made the game an unstable mess. Now, I feel obligated to admit that The Sims 3 is easily my least favourite game of the franchise.

In keeping with my recent itch to scratch the surface of some older Sims games, I found myself booting up The Sims 3 again.
