Eh, it's okay. It's terribly oldversion'd, though. Some gameplay tricks and bugs mentioned by it are long gone. It does do an okay job of explaining just what Sims 3 is and how it plays, but when it comes to raw data, it's lacking. Especially the trait list. Several traits have no data at all, and for a game guide, I'd expect it to have a map or something over rock, seed, and fish locations. That's also missing. A Moodlet list could have been useful, too, but really. Most of the stuff in the guide can be found better explained both here and on other Sims sites.

I did learn one thing from it, though. When you use the go "Go Here with..." command, you can shift-click multiple Sims to have everyone follow you there. That's somewhat useful. But for 100+ pages, it's also a little weak. I probably failed to RTFM on that one, anyway.

Yep, it's of near useless. The only thing that interested me was the trait and aspiration Lifetime reward list. It had some commenting on how useful and useless the different traits/rewards were.
The rest was so crappy. Who'd scroll through all those pages just to learn how to play Sims?

I give it a 3/10. Nothing new was covered if you bothered to RTFM.
