The Sims 3: Generations is good – but not a game-changer. The Sims 3: Generations is not expansive enough, as previous Sims 3 expansion packs have come with more substantial gameplay material. Those features may include world exploration, hands-on professions, and even vampire nightlife. However, The Sims 3: Generations value proposition fell short as these new “Generations” enhancements are subtly integrated into the game, but don't have the overall impact of transforming the game and do not match up to the impact of previous expansions.
The additions to The Sims 3: Generations package include children getting tree-houses and playground equipment, as well as teens learning to drive and going to prom and adults have midlife crises. As the game progresses, you also begin to unlock other features to this game. Children don't just live with all of life's amenities; they can actually play in their tree-houses and sit on their seesaws. Maybe, you would like to play a prank on the school as a teen growing up in Sim City and release a science experiment in the girls’ locker room.
Other closely watched elements within the game, do not call for a complete loss on this expansion for the Sims 3. Players can now actually throw bachelor parties for engaged Sims and videotape their experiences to store away in their personal video stash. Builders and buyers, especially, will appreciate spiral staircases and new family-oriented novelties. These changes to the entire game from Sims 3 are great, but this time around there is a lack of impact which ceases to wow the overall audience and people are not buying into it.
The Sims genre has always been one to fascinate everyone, by the all-incorporated and strategically in-depth approach it has taken to connect all people from around the globe on one simple and manageable piece of astroturf. The highly anticipated changes introduced by The Sims 3: Generations game does not move forth more enveloping depth into life-stages that are supposed to freshen material in order to make it worth reinvesting into your Sims world. As Generations does not help bring the same level of sweeping changes found in the last few expansions, The Sims 3: Generations comes across as a weaker link in the chain.
