I’ve been a Sims fanatic since the game first debuted in 2000 and in honor of receiving a brand new computer for Christmas that has allowed me to play Sims 3 on the max graphic settings, here is a list of my favorite character combinations. Hopefully they help spark some new life into your Sim Neighborhoods.
