Also, his wife is a fortune-telling Chinese vampire.
Just throwing that out there.

Despite how awesome I've set this game up as, do not take it as a recommendation.
Yes, it can be a lot of fun, but no game should be dependent on expansion packs or DLC.
Also, it takes a LOT of time getting anything done in this game. Even just making a small household can easily take an hour or more. And it can get boring at times, even if your sims are an alien astronaut, and a kleptomaniac who married his imaginary friend. Yes, that can happen.
More over, the way the sims act sometimes feels weird and unnatural, which can break the flow of the game. Character behavior is oddly simple and linear for a "life simulator".

But if you DO like Sims 3, and someone accuses you of playing a "girl's game", tell them about your werewolf crime-lord and his underground dungeon, haunted by the ghosts of all the neighbors he invited over and killed.
Then give them a good slap across the face for that sexist remark.

The Sims 3 is the property of EA games.

P.S. I'm still working on the next Outcast Kingdom episode. I've been delayed a bit, but I'll try to get it done ASAP.
