1.) Is Sims 3 really going to be available for the Mac?

Yes both Windows and Mac will versions will come out at the same time, which is June 2, 2009.

2.) What is the difference between the regular version and the extended version of Sims #?

You get a CD featuring how it was made, and some hairstyles, outfits, objects, and cars that aren't in the orginal Sims 3, except in the Collector's Edition of The Sims 3.

The Sims 1, is the orginal one. The Sims 2, is the expansion to the orginal Sims game.

The Sims 3 is the expansion and much better version of the Sims 2. I would deffinitley get the Sims 3, over the other 2 versions.


3.) What is is Sims really about?

Sims is a game of life.

4.) What do you do in the game?

Make a sim or sims. Move him/her/them into a house. You can build your house.

Then they are like us. They age and grow old. They can interact with sims around them. You can decide how they will play in their life.

They can make babies, make friends and enemies, they can have jobs and go to school, cook, dance, watch tv, play on the computer, study, read books, shopping, relaxing, etc.

5.) What are the main objectives?

You choose how they live and what they'll be :)

The Sims 3 is basically like playing a dolls, except you get to control everything that happens in the Sims community, you control their lives.

If your into simulation games, I would deffinitley get The Sims 3. If your into archeticting, I would deffinetley get the Sims 3. If your artsitic and into fashion and decorating, I would deffintiely get The Sims 3. If your into role playing, I would get The Sims 3 :)

I have been playing the Sims, since the orginal version. I was in like the 4th grade at the time, so I was like 10 years old lol. Now I'm about to go to college this fall, hopefully :). And I'm still loving the Sims.

Most of my friends play as well.

You should get The Sims 3 :) . I know I will deffinitley get it~!!!!! ^^'

1. The Sims 3 will be available for both Mac and PC, you just have to make sure you are buying the correct version. (It will usually say on the box)

2. The difference between the Sims, Sims 2, and Sims 3 is the game play is improved in each version. For example, better AI, better graphics, more options, etc.

3. The Sims is basically a Life Simulator, you start a family, buy a house, choose a job, etc.

4. You take care of your Sim. You do things mentioned in answer 3 and other things like make him study, work out, cook food, sleep, shower, etc.

5. Whatever you want them to be. Get an awesome house, have a family, get an awesome job, anything life related.

I don't know if sims is going to be available for Mac...

From what I can see with the collectors version (extended version) you get:
Exclusive 2 GB Plumbob USB drive and Carabiner
Exclusive European Sports Car Download
New The Sims 3 theme music
Prima Tips & Hints Guide
$10 in SimPoints to shop at The Sims 3 Store

All of the sims games are basically about creating a sim (person) and living live. You build a house, get married, have kids, get a job... Your main objectives are just to live life and have fun playing the game.

I don't know about the Mac thing.
The difference between the regular version and extended versions are just different games for the original Sims. Okay this is confusing, lemme explain. If you have Sims 2, and then go out and buy an extended version of Sims 2, then you can play that game after installing. You have to have the regular version installed for it to work. :]
Sims is just about life. Family's, relationships, having to pay for stuff, taking care of young ones, shopping. :] Everything one has to go through living life. They are just like normal people.
The objectives.. there really are none. You just have to give each Sim what they want in life, and let them grow to be old.
Hope I helped, did the best I could.

Yes Sims 3 is available for Mac, it says on their site. The extended version contains a hints guide, a 2 GB USB drive and it allows you to get European sports cars in the game. In the Sims 3, you can build mansions, create people and play with them as if you were in real life. In the game, you have to create your own family and decide weather or not to fulfil their wishes. It;s like in real life, your sims can have babies, fight each other, die of hunger, have relationships with other sims, etc. There isn't really an end since some of your sims make babies and others die. I think it's a really fun game!
