    Those odds and ends are agreeable at least, though they aren't all that's new in The Sims 3: Generations. You could run into bugs you've never seen before. You might receive notice that your teen has made a new friend at school: himself. Or your normally endearing child might temporarily morph into a hideous long-armed freak, with her head in the middle of her abdomen. Read more

    • A bunch of new mechanics and items for sims of all ages, Imaginary friends and childrens' costumes are adorable, Pulling pranks and using the video camera are fun.
    • Doesn't have much impact on the overall experience, Proms and other features are missed opportunities, Overpriced for what you get.

    Life for these new options of Toddlers and Seniors is as you'd expect, the babies do virtually nothing but need to be cared for, and Seniors are looking for more life experiences and part time work. Children for some reason seem to love pranks - not sure whose idea this was - but it makes it seem a little less lifelike and a little more Dennis the Menace. Another new option is the "Share" element. Read more

    While most expansions bend over backwards to showcase their new features, it’s often hard to figure out what the hell is different in the latest Sims add-on. Rather than showcasing a slew of new bells and whistles, Generations subtly brings extra depth to the different stages of development your little computer people go through. Read more
