The Sims 3

I have played for a little over an hour today.  I am really enjoying the graphics in this game.  Their actions look like real life activities.  But the handling is not as easy to use as I thought it would be.  I do like that once I installed this game to my PC it set up its own folder in my Documents.  It is also easy to find the screenshots when I am ready to apply them to my blogs.
This game is pretty much like a person's every day livelihood.  My two Sims are now establishing their careers and skills.  I am still learning how to get my Sims to do things around their town.  My male Sim is working in the athletic field and my female Sim is working in the business field.  I have noticed that she is making more money than her male friend.  She is receiving better promotions and raises.  The male Sim is not offered as many opportunities to make raises and earn extra income.  Both Sims incomes are combined.  They have been fixing things around their home too.
But I am seeing that in this beginning stage of establishing themselves it is hard to do any other socializing outside of work.  They are both working hours opposite of each other.  My female Sim works morning hours and my male Sim works evening hours.  This is known in some reality households.  This can be said for reality as well.  I can compare this to my own life because while I am establishing and accomplishing my college career, I have little time to socialize outside of school, work, and church.  But I am, just like in my Sims world, trying to incorporate socialization with family and friends, whether it is catching a movie or having a quick lunch.  Socialization is a vital aspect of our lives.

This is a screenshot I took after both my male and female Sims came out of the movie theater in their city.  Right afterwards they went to have dinner together.  Then they headed home to get ready for another week's worth of work.
