Re: Differences between The Sims 3 for PC and PS3?

@RealSimmor0 I only had the XBox 360 version so the only info I have on the Wii version is from watching the release trailer and reading descriptions and user reviews on a few game sites. I can say the Wii version is a completely different game than the XBox 360/PS3 version. Different town, different user interface, different controls, everything.

As far as I can tell the Wii version appears to be more limited overall. This makes sense as the Wii is not as powerful as the XBox 360 or PS3. There are fewer life stages (no infants, toddlers, or young adults) and there is no Sims 3 Pets version for Wii so no cats or dogs either. The build/buy and CAS options appear to be more limited as well.

The biggest complaints seem to be limited game-play, difficult user controls, slow load times, bad AI for Sims autonomy, and too many game-play lags and glitches. I'm always open to trying any Sims game but this Wii version sounds like something I would probably avoid.

    Again, thank you both, for your input. This makes more clear.

    @RandomBuzziness, I mean a PS* / or Xbox* is still better then a Wii, which you must avoid anytime. No good games available, especially action games.

    And yes, Wii version from The Sims 3 is more limited, missing several nice parts, and have many bugs / glitches. Even unable to build your own house, just choose from pre-built houses.
    Maybe you might already found this out. https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/The_Sims_3_(Wii)
    I did not experience this myself, because I do not play on and have Nintendo console.


    Greetings.
