Golf is a skill where people talked about a lot, but apparently it is not a skill! There will be a skill thingy above your Sim, but this will only add to your athletic skill.
The animations of a failure are really funny and will even make Grumpy smile! Skeeball is a well known carnival activity, but even though the score will be shown it is quite boring to watch and your Sim should only do this when he or she is really extremely bored.
The mechanic bull is another object on which players have been waiting for. It does not only sound funny when your Sim is on it, it is also hilarious to watch it and I will guaranty your that you will use this item over and over again. Another acquaintance! The karaoke machine will definitely complete your night out of town. A lot of players thought that the karaoke machine will also improve your singing career, but this machine is really just for a good night.
There are also some arcade games which you can enjoy with a friend. I liked the fact that there are a lot of details, the screen even shows the game that the Sims are playing.
The Sims 3 is all about the new professions: singer, acrobat and magician. Whenever you have not seen every news item, reports or clip you are probably under the impression that you can also be a DJ.
You can, in a way. Being a DJ is more of a hobby which can make you earn tips, so it is not really a career. But about the careers, luckily but also unfortunately, the professions are a bit different than the regular careers.
Because the professions have no building, your Sim will not be picked up by the carpool and be gone for a couple of hours. This career needs the involvement of the gamer from A to Z, you need to make your Sim to practice, perform, audition and actually be on stage.
The player needs to be there every minute. Because of this you can see everything and you are really involved but it comes with a price, other Sims and pets will get less attention.
When you feel like you have some extra time and patience left in your game, you are ready for one of these careers. As always you need to start from the beginning. Ea made some really good choices here, you really need to start at a terrible place and you are nothing better.
As a singer you need to deliver sung telegrams and acrobats and magician need to practice and show their tricks. When you reach level two you can audition at a owner of a place. When you are good enough you will get a performance. These performances also require a lot of attention from the player. You need to send your Sim and a few hours before the performance you can choose to either use the regular stage or decorate your own.
You need to control every single thing. You need to choose what trick or song you are going to do but you can also talk to the audience. When performing as a singer you also need to decide whether you want to do a couplet or a chorus. It is almost impossible to have a performance and a Household to control without having one finger almost glued to the pauze button. Something that is off, is that the promotion of the acrobat and magician is more interesting since you get a new trick.
The tricks vary a lot and are interesting to see. However you start off with the smaller and easier tricks such as making cards appear and mime, after a lot of practice your tricks will become more interesting. The acrobat will receive a ring of fire and a big ball to do tricks with and the magician will recieve two different boxes for daring tricks. Unfortunately it is not possible for the acrobat to have both items on stage at the same time, luckily for the magician he can.
The most fun part is when tricks go wrong. The reaction of the performing Sim is hilarious, so once you know the trick it is more fun to see them fail than to succeed. Your Sim will be ashamed for a few minutes but will try the trick over and over again. Simport is one of the bigger new things of The Sims 3 Showtime.
It is that new that some players even had trouble using it and there were a lot of questions about it. But Simport is created is such a way that you only have to use it once to understand. By sending and hosting you will get stickers and with these stickers you will receive new items in game.
Although Simport is a much more fun than it sounds, there are some buts to it. You cannot send a Sim whenever he or she is the only young adult of your household. You need at least two young adults to use Simport.
Simport has its problems every now and then. More than once a request is gone, your game will freeze or even quit! Although the sticker system is funny, it is kind of unfair and it takes a lot of time before you will receive the sets. You need to collect 15 stickers per career for one set per career, these sets contain of 4 objects or clothes. Every location requires its stickers too! You need 9 sticker for all of the 5 locations. This means you need to collect 90 stickers to have all the sets!
Luckily you will also get a sticker whenever you receive a Sim. The Sims 3 Showtime contains a lot, from new online possibilities to new furniture and from performing to playing games all night long. The real problem is that The Sims 3 Showtime is a game that is completely on its own, there is almost no connection with the other expansions.
A lot of elements feel solemn, like the Furniture and clothing that do not really match the idea of rising fame and there are almost no building possibilities to give your small house a makeover to a big mansion.
The professions, where this expansion is all about, have really nice details. There are a lot of possibilities, nice outfits and stunning tricks. But the very first time you will play the Sims 3 Showtime is the most fun, this because there is not a lot of variation between the songs and tricks.
A real disappointment is the fact that there is nothing new for children nor teens. I at least expected a magic box for children. Although I do not believe that The Sims 3 Showtime will become a true legend, I think this game can keep you occupied for a couple of nice hours. The Sims 3 Showtime will get a 7 out of 10 from me. I like the new game, but I also do not. It is a good expansion pack, but I feel that the new jobs are not worked out entirely.
It is sad that every singer has the same songs, over and over again. What about the many times Sims need to sing one song in order to get promotion and one extra song, which you will also hate within a day. I already forward the game just because I am sick and tired of the repeating songs.
EA should have taken more time and energy in The Sims 3 Showtime, this is just a waste. Again something that is not worked out to the fullest.
