Anyone expecting to be building their own Castle or House should think otherwise, as the buildings are all Shells containing rooms like community lots or apartment blocks you will find in Sims 3 expansion packs such as Late Night or Showtime. I personally would say this is not anything like the Sims in so far as there are little similarities, but it is more of an actual game as you must complete quests and build your kingdom. The only Sim bars you have are Hunger and Energy, and the game is more focused on completing quests to excel. Beware Sim lovers, if you're used to the complexity of the normal game you will not find that here. When it arrived I installed it and found it is a lot more basic than the normal Sims 3. I wasnt sure what to expect so I read many reviews on here first and found they were quite mixed. I bought The Sims 3 Medieval as a treat to myself after my exams. If you enjoy exploring the medieval world and how people lived, and aren't expecting The Sims 3 but in a different setting, then this is the game for you.

If you are thinking of buying this game, just prepare your expectations for what the game actually is because it can be very different from The Sims 3. You only have the one kingdom to play in as well, so that can become slightly repetitive and sometimes the game can feel very short.ĭespite all the downfalls that this game offers, it's better points make up for it in my opinion. You can still create medieval Sims just like The Sims 3 but can't create families until you've completed all the quests. For instance you still have the classic Hunger and Energy bars to keep up with whilst been given two responsibilites to complete per day still whilst completing the targets on your quest story. Sadly, this feels very linear and it can get a bit annoying at times. For instance, this game is far more linear than The Sims 3 as you have to choose various different quests to play throughout the game. Gameplay is significantly different to The Sims 3 this time around. Be careful not to expect The Sims 3 but set in the medieval age. In the game, you play as various different medieval characters, people such as the Monarch, a Knight, the Wizard/Witch etc. I opened up the game and found myself playing for about 4-5 hours non-stop. The game arrived several days later than expected but when it did, it quickly went through the installation process.

I was 50-50 on whether or not to buy this game since it had been given far lower reviews than The Sims 3 but I decided to give it a try. Another game that I heard being released by EA, soon after buying The Sims 3, was The Sims Medieval.

The system requirements were supposedly too great to run The Sims 3 but I've found out that it runs well on both the low and medium graphics qualites. Until December, I had been skeptical about buying just The Sims 3 until I saw a review telling me not to be scared of the system requirements. It is more likely to run well on your computer than The Sims 3 (as the system requirements are quite lower) This is not an expansion pack for The Sims 3 Firstly, I need to point out the obvious :
