    I should admit It this game is fun but there are may negatives or problems in this game.The loading takes so many time and sometimes I just wanted not to go to places because it takes so many time to load if you want to go to different places in the map.That part disappointed me.And the worst of them all is that when you save and quit the game or turn off the console the save slot getsI should admit It this game is fun but there are may negatives or problems in this game.The loading takes so many time and sometimes I just wanted not to go to places because it takes so many time to load if you want to go to different places in the map.That part disappointed me.And the worst of them all is that when you save and quit the game or turn off the console the save slot gets corrupted.After many hours,days,weeks,and even months playing this game it all ended because of the saving problems.That is both disappointing and frustrating to hell.But there are a few positives in this game that I like.Like the part where you can use all your points to use karma powers.The karma power allows you to grant powers in your sim or even luck to your sim.That is good.The character development in this game is great too.The best in this game is the part where you will build your house.Building a house in this game is addicting and it will probably drain some hours in your game play.Although you can only build one structure or one house in this game depending on how large your lot is.

    Combine all the negatives and positives in this game.The game gets a score of 5/10.If it weren't for the saving problems and loading problems this game should have been good.For me I kinda love this game a little and I kinda hate this game a little too.

    It not that bad port I had a lot of fun when I was younger. I played on ps3 slim CECH-2504B and now on Super Slim CECH-4004A there is one big problem: fps drops I can get less than 20fps when ghost invasion 15fps and is not overheating problem because I have 50C on cpu and 53C on rsx so is just bad port. but it have very simple controls on gamepad is mutch mutch mutch more comfortable thanIt not that bad port I had a lot of fun when I was younger.

There is a lot of to do also you can do a lot of milestones. Trophies are hard to complete you must play a long time if you trying to get Platinum.
    So let's summarize:
    graphics: 9/10
    framerate 2/10
    gameplay 9/10 very funny game
    6/10 because framerate problems are annoying.

    The graphics and audio are weak, but the core gameplay is still as solid as ever. There may be a lack of innovation to justify buying both The Sims 3 and this glorified expansion pack though.

    The Sims 3: Pets is very recommendable if you're a true animal lover or new to the series.

    It's moreish, even if it doesn't scratch the deepest of gaming itches. [Issue#212, p.99]
