Sunset Valley, which is still my
favorite world. He’s a surgeon with a
beautiful wife in the most beautiful
home in Sunset Valley. I really love
that house and would want to live

packs) was your favourite, and why?
CR: I used to say Ambitions because I really enjoyed its focus on
Skills and Professions, but looking back at how I reacted to each release
I’d have to say World Adventures. It capitalized on the open world
experience The Sims 3 brought to the franchise the most. I really enjoyed
searching through ancient tombs for treasure and having the vacation
