This is a 176 page book all about the new city and careers available in the Sims 3 Showtime. A comparison with the previous recent guides is quite positive. Whilst it is the same size, the font is much bigger and more readable. The pictures are many and useful.
However, whilst it goes through the new content, there doesn't seem to be a lot of things that you cannot easily figure out for yourself; there are few insider tips. Well, though, there are three highlights. One is what happens when you get a dusty old lamp (what to do with the genie). A second is a warning about some of the career props (they can kill your character). However, the final one is one I will share with you now. You can download the Sims 3 strategy app from iTunes, and that seems to be good value.
