Technically still on a book buying ban, this was bought with a gift card redeemed from Swagbucks.
If any one has the The Sims 3 with or without any of the expansion packs, the game guides are well worth buying - especially as this one is now smaller, easier to handle and cheaper that others have been.
I've been playing the Sims for years now and still, every time I get one of the guides I learn something new about the game by reading it. There's so much to do in the Sims 3 that you're really missing out if you don't get this.
