    If you own The Sims 3 and want to have even more fun, you absolutely should get the Showtime expansion.

    Playing off the huge popularity contests on television that has everybody that watches them dreaming of that being them on stage being adored by millions, the Sims 3 provides that same level of daydreaming-of-stardom to individual Sims 3 players with The Sims 3 Showtime Limited Edition.

    If you are into any tabloid magazines and you know everything about any celebrity The Sims 3 Showtime is a perfect match for you. [Apr 2012]

    Scant new features of gameplay are unsatisfying and unbalanced. Suitable for the stalwart fan, who doesn't mind repetitive tasks. [May 2012, p.60]

    The Sims 3 Showtime surpassed my expectations, I did not expect all this, the city is beautiful, new families are cool and when I have the stations will for sure play with this city ... The gameplay is nice the 3 professions are excelent, so missed the paparazzi, new social interactions are very nice and at least on my PC go faster! Expand
  2. i personally love sims, so hell yes, i will review it a 10. Great to have Katy Perry in game play. Amazing that i can make my own sims and decorate their houses Expand
  3. sims 3 unnecessary games : Showtime, Katy Perry's sweet treats, diesel pack. I love the sims collection but those games really arent necessary. The sims3 games that are great : Supernatural, Medival and Pets Expand
  4. Just going to say this. All of this EP, could of easily been included in Late Night. Instead they wait, and abuse there fans by releasing this to make more money then they need. All of this and late night combined, was included in the Sims 2 Nightlife EP. SO why cant it of been compiled instead. I dont get it. They abuse us. And as said before, the sims 3 is starting to die out. They are getting lazy. Where is the packs we want? We want a seasons EP too. The games last few packs have been horrible and it needs something to fix it. Make the Urbz 2 then. That way, we have a good game with Late night and Showtime combined. Expand
