Azada Cake Mania 3
Expanding The Sims universe beyond the house, this is the first sequel in the multi-million selling series since The Sims 2 back in September 2004. Players will be able to live their Sim-lives at the same time as other characters in the games, and will see the world around them change as time passes. Other features, such as the Create-a-Sim mode, the Sims' personalities and needs, and the build and buy modes have all undergone drastic changes or overhaul.
