When I first got this game I was really excited because this was my first ever Sims game. Though, there's quite a lot of reading and understanding needed, so I think this game shouldn't be rated a 3+. I found some of mini-games quite hard, I'm ten, so I don't see how a three-year-old can manage it! I was a little annoyed that people kept dropping their pets at my doorstep for me to look after! I already have rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, parrots, snakes and more to look after for permanant! I thought that the people's pets were very demanding, I spent a fortune by just buying a lousy top-hat for a lousy cat resident! Also, while all that's happening, I have to serve my customers downstairs too! I personally think that this game has too many stuff going on at the same time. But, overall it's an okay game.
P.S.
I recommend it 10+.
