There are some good factors about the Sims 3 Console Official Prima Guide. There are detailed listings of the community lots and what you can find in them, along with details about the personality traits, aspirations, ingredients for recipes, etc. There are also in-depth looks at each of the careers, along with the available Career Opportunities for each.

However, I rated the Sims 3 Console Official Prima Guide 3 stars for several reasons:

1. As many people have commented, the Sims 3 Console Official Prima Guide is poorly indexed. It’s difficult to find the information you’re searching for unless you flip through the whole thing. I resorted to putting Post-It flags on the pages I used the most often.

2. There were A LOT of inaccurate personality traits and cheats (I could probably count the number of correct cheats on one hand). It seems like the guide was written off of an earlier beta version of the game.

3. The writing style of Catherine Browne is REALLY annoying at times – personally, I don’t care what she thinks about the game. I just want the facts and ACCURATE tips.
