List your favorite platform for Sims and your exact favorite games. Right now I love Sims 3 for Pc. Please discuss exactly what you like to do during game play.

Sim 3 for PC is my favorite as well. I haven't played it in a little while, but my favorite thing to do was exercise my creativity wherever I could. I know Sims 4 allows that exceptionally well, but I also love the full scope of what Sims 3 offers. It is definitely the most expansive game of the series.

My only wish is that EA would stop using it as a money-grabbing platform. That is the one thing ruining the Sims games.

What do you mean "money-grabbing"? They have to make enough off the games to keep Sims going.

With all the content available, I've never seen any game cost as much as the Sims games. They have the most excessive use of DLC and microtransaction to mask the fact that they are far overpriced (think hundreds of dollars... it all adds up). EA is well known for this, and The Sims games do this more than their other titles. Now sure, you could just pick and choose what content to add. However, they then dangle it in front of you while you are playing to taunt you into a purchase.

Yes, that is a big complaint. Take EA's dirty business practices out of the picture, though, and I still love these games.

I liked the idea of the Sims store where you could buy extra objects and towns, but they WERE too expensive. When I saw one I really liked and had extra money to burn I bought one.

If they automatically put all that in the game and you didn't use all of it you would be wasting computer space. The game already takes up a lot of space.

I have World Adventures and the ONLY thing I like about it is the Martial Arts skill. I have Supernatural and I absolutely hate it. Not sure what I was thinking when I bought Katy Perry Sweet Treats. Which Eps are your favorite and least favorite?

I wanted to get Island Paradise, but people said it was the most messed up one for some reason.
