Very freakin bad
If you like to manage a few predetermined, preset sims whoz lives can be summed up in one sentence and all you get to do is level them up... well have at it...
If you like the concept of not being able to build your own castle but you get to spice up a set few of rooms that look like your playing in a virtual barbie house.... have fun..
If you like watching people almost pretend there cool and make retarded gestures at each other then enjoy
If you like a game with no mature content - thumbs up to you!
seriously don't buy this, Sims 3 is WAY better in comparison. They really hit rock bottom with this. It looks like the developers went two different ways when it comes to creating the Sims and forgot about 80% of there demographic and created a fantasy land that looks like ... I can't swear but you get the idea.
If you want to build castles and stuff, play Sims 2 with some downloads and mods. OR you can check out the new Stronghold 3 coming out.
