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 dowloaded it and the code was not working i hate this i fell scammed do not trust this if your on windows i hate this so so so so so so so so so so so muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
  • i have no pros
  • i have no pros
  • i have no pros
  • when i dowloaded it was not working at first
  • i fell scammed because the code wasnt working
  • i went to 6 diffrent sites just to dowload
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
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 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
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.
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
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. :)
  • Cheap
  • Fixed EA's issue better than EA
  • 10/10 recommend
  • EA app is absolute garbage
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

THIS VERSION IS NOT FOR MAC!!
This is my favourite sims game of all time including its expansions and stuff packs.
  • Game Feels Finished Even Without DLCs
  • Game Is Open World And There’s No Loading Screens Almost At All
  • It’s Fun And Easily Time Consuming If you Want To Unwind
  • Because the game was made with only 2009 to 2014s PCs Some Tuning Is Required For Better Performance
Key worked and was significantly cheaper than what it's selling for in AUS.
  • Game works well (AFTER CLEANING CACHE)
  • Did require a few deep cleans of my cache
  • If not done, game would freeze every 2 minutes
I have a windows laptop and it worked i was nervous at first but it was only $1.81 so i just tried it and i got my code instantly!! so excited because i didnt wanna pay 20$ for the game don’t hesitate
  • Code Instantly
  • Only $1.81
Perfect! The Sims 3 is incredible and I think it's the best in the franchise. The open world facilitates the progression of the story and the chaos is doubled here. The game's graphics are wonderful. Some people complain about the appearance of the Sims, but honestly, the game's so detailed that it's a small thing to notice. A timeless game that brings comfort and nostalgia in the best way possible. Thank you Instant Gaming for the incredible support, and for providing the game at a more affordable price. The game key was sent to me as soon as I completed the purchase and I can't praise The Sims 3 more highly.
  • The open world.
  • The challenges.
  • The high level of details.
I littoral does EVERYTHING to hav the Sims 3 but it doesn't work on my Mac (Mac Monterey).
The price is great but if we pay 2€ for nothing it's like we lost 2 for nothing so if you have the same problem please tell me on my instagram (Manon_vlkgr)
  • cheaper
  • fast to install
  • doesn't work on my Mac Monterey
I can’t start the game it keeps glitching when I start it up. When I try to fix it in the ea system thing it doesn’t work either. Wasted my money on the game tbh, not sure if it would’ve worked it I just bought it normally but at least it was €1,74 instead of €30

I could play it during day one and day two I started it and the issues began.
  • Cheap
  • Doesn’t start
There is a lot of gameplay for the base game in the sims3, rather in the sims4! I would recommend it for any of you new sims players
  • More gameplay
  • More traits
  • Open world
  • Will freeze/quit
super good and legit, i was skeptical because i can only trust cdkeys but this just gave me the code then and there, also was super cheap so i reccomend and i think im gonna buy again so thank you so much
  • good service
  • cheap
  • trusted
  • none
  • none
  • & none!
I Love It <3 I recomend it, its cheap and greate!!
  • Cheap, good
Couldn’t play because the version I got isn’t available on MacBook. But the purchase was successful and the price is very good. If you play on windows I totally recommend to get this game here on instant gaming.
  • Cheap
  • This version isn’t compatible with MacBook
no matter how many times I start the game whether the sims 3 app or the EA app it wont play the game.
  • you can downloads it
  • it will not start the game
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
everything works! it was my first purchase from instant gaming and i'm glad i bought the game! sims 3 is truly a timeless game that still is good in 2023. if you're thinking of buying it, DO IT! with that price? it's REALLY worth it.
