Life Simulator "Sims 3" is one of the best games of this genre. The secret is simple - its creators love their work and carefully listen to the wishes of users. More than once polls and polls were conducted to find out what new additions players would like to see. And despite the fact that the Sims 4 era has begun this year, millions of fans around the world continue to play the previous version of the life simulator.
Dreams Come True
The simulator is loved for the fact that thanks to it you can realize the most cherished desire, albeit in the game. Have you ever dreamed of seeing a werewolf, swimming in the ocean with a mermaid, having fun at a fairy party or heading for the future? For the creators of Sims 3, this is not a problem. They, like children, also believe in miracles and try to realize the dreams of their players. For a long time, everyone complained that the game lacks a change of seasons, and this cherished desire was fulfilled - the “Seasons” addon appeared.
Recall childhood
For the vast majority of fans of the game, and all other inhabitants of the Earth, the happiest time is childhood. The creators of the game, the big children themselves, decided to return to this carefree time, when now the ridiculous problems seemed a disaster, the trees were big and you could fool around all day. So there was an addition "All ages: Sims 3". It became the fourth in a row and was released in the spring of 2011.
Game innovations
Most importantly, the add-on "All Ages: Sims 3" makes it possible to survive all the important life stages of your character. We start with a cloudless world of children's fantasies, we go through it through rebellious adolescence, go on dates in youth and enter into a difficult adult life.
Another fascinating change in the game is the ability to arrange a variety of pranks: from completely harmless to those for which you can get serious punishment.
The system of memories has also changed. The child can now buy a video camera and record his adventures, so that later, in adulthood or old age, to revise them and recall a carefree childhood.
There are new activities for children and adolescents. You can play on the tree in the house or walk in the costume of a princess or dinosaur. Experiments in our own chemical laboratory, fun children's parties and pranks - all this is in the new addition "All ages: Sims 3". In addition, several new awards have appeared, as well as the nanny profession.
Imaginary friend
The huge imagination of children can perplex any parent. They can come up with anything, including an invisible comrade in games. In the supplement "All ages: Sims 3" such a friend will be sent by mail from relatives to the family in which the baby appeared. Now he will always be next to the baby. Outwardly, he looks like a rag doll that resembles a child. While the baby is still very small, parents can use the toy themselves, arranging performances with its help.
As he grows up, the child will be able to play with a friend himself - give him a name, sing and come up with new fun. If you spend time with the toy regularly without throwing it into the far corner, it will become the best friend for the baby.
The most interesting thing will begin after the birthday - the toy will come to life and turn into a real imaginary friend with a bunch of features. It will become invisible to everyone else except adults with the “Eternal Child” character trait. You can play with him, curse, swing on a swing and even shift the fulfillment of household duties onto him.
But you need to be careful and try not to communicate with an imaginary friend in front of people - they don’t see him and may think that the child is slightly out of control.
These are not all the features of the Sims 3 game. Supplement "All Ages" gives a chance to turn an invisible gaming friend into a real person. A fairy tale about Pinocchio immediately comes to mind, a wooden doll that dreamed of becoming a boy, and her wish came true. The same thing can be done with an imaginary friend.
To do this, you need to prepare a special potion, but this process is long and laborious. The easiest way is to find a rare iris stone, take it to a scientific institute and enjoy the company of a real friend. He will naturally become a new member of the family.
Pranks and punishments in the new addon
Childhood is a time of various leprosy. The Sims 3: All Ages game allows you to make a huge amount of pranks with your character. Children can make surprises for family members - spraying in the sink, prank in the shower or horror in the computer. Such a gift can be expected by any member of the family, but it is possible to set up a prank for a certain sim.
In adolescents, the arsenal of leprosy is much wider. In addition to home, they can be dirty at school. You can release frogs from the laboratory or arrange a flood.
You need to arrange pranks imperceptibly. If the child is caught at the crime scene, parents have the right to punish him for negligent behavior. This can be an excommunication from your favorite toy or computer, house cleaning or house arrest. The severity of the punishment directly depends on the severity of the misconduct.
Addon Issues
For those who have difficulties with the gameplay, there is an exit to the "Sims 3" - codes. All Ages, the fourth addition to the simulator, is not immune to bugs that sometimes happen for various reasons. The most common problem is a sim freeze. It happens that it gets stuck in textures, or objects stick to it. There is a solution - pull out the character using the code. To do this, open the console for entering codes, while simultaneously pressing the keys Ctrl + Shift + C. In the field that appears, enter the code ResetSim + full name and character name. The sim will disappear for a second and will appear again in its normal state.
Codes can help if there is no desire and patience to save simoleons (game currency).
As for the All Ages add-on, there is only one new code in it - moviemakercheatsenabled true. With it, you can open all the available character animation, disable free will and much more.
