A lot of the negative reviews towards the game (or any game) on amazon are caused by people not knowing how to activate the game, download the game, etc etc. No worries. That's understandable. I bought many product keys on amazon before and I've never had a problem with it.

Most of the How-tos are listed in the Requirements section, but if it's unclear to you, I'll try to clarify a few points.

**IMPORTANT**

Firstly, be aware that this is a EXPANSION PACK. Thus, you need to original Sims 3 game in order to play. Make sure your Sims 3 game is on Origin, not Steam, since the product key is for Origin. (If you have Sims 3 on Steam, I believe it is possible to transfer it to Origin. I've done this before, but I don't remember how).

Done with everything above?

Great, now check out and you'll receive a product key.

Copy paste the product key, open Origins, Redeem your game, paste product key, and you should be able to officially download the game and play.

***

Now, for the review for the game.

If you never had Generations before, you'll know how boring Toddlers, Children, and Teens are. Thankfully, the game gives them something to do and toddlers, children, and teens actually become FUN to play with. Young Adults stay the same (as far as I'm concerned) and Adults can go through Mid-Life Crisis. Young Adults or Adults can also have more interactions with children (going to graduation, scolding them, teaching them to drive) etc etc.

For a full (more or less) guide of the game, check out [...] to see what the expansion pack adds, since it'll take too much time for me to include everything.

Now, Generations aren't necessarily for everyone as it depends on the people's game play (although I still believe that Generation is a must buy compared to other expansion packs). It adds so much more interactions between people and toddlers, childrens, so and so, it's a wonder why the developers never included it in the base game.

If you are a family-focused simmer, then this game is an absolute must. It adds SO MUCH that should have been in the base game.

The only criticism I have for this expansion pack is (like all sims expansion pack), that it's quite expensive. I suggest waiting for a sale.

This is a review of the Amazon download and install process of the Sims 3 Generations.

After reading other reviews stating they had trouble installing the Sims 3 Generations, I was worried if I would have issues as well.

I have Windows 7 and have the original Sims 3 (not deluxe), World Adventures, and Ambitions expansions. The game was fully patched to the latest version, and I did not remove any custom content prior to downloading and installing. I downloaded everything with the "typical" settings, and the 1.6GB download took about 45 minutes to download and about 5 minutes to install. It did ask me for the product code up front, which I was able to easily copy and paste from a link that took me directly to my amazon account.

All things said and done, it was one of the smoothest digital installs I have completed.

I am not suggesting whatever problems others have had are fixed. However with my computer, the install worked exactly as is should.

I have enjoyed the new expansion so far, and the addition of bunk beds and more kid focused items. I would recommend this expansion for avid Sims fans, especially those looking to start a "new family" with their single or newly married sims.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome! Best Expansion Yet!

While it is true, many have had issues with the download versions of Generations, the problem has been solved, and when I downloaded my game, I had absolutely NO issues!

To solve the issues, FIRST do the folowing: (as in BEFORE you download Generation, this makes the download smoother, but you can still get your game to work if you download first. You will just have to search for the download in your computer files to find the correct install file)

* Delete all MODS and Custom Content you have downloaded.
* Open your EA Download Manager and preform the update (it will prompt you, or it did for me)
* Open up your Sims 3 game, and open the
* Restart your computer.
* Download/Install Generations. You may or may not need to restart your computer again.

After these steps you're game should work perfectly! Mine did, and it really is worth the trouble! You get all kind of new items and interactions. I laughed when I saw the "be frisky" interaction pop up under the "Romantic" tab. You won't be disapointed, it's definitely the best Expansion they've relesed!

3.0 out of 5 stars Sims 3 Generations Expansion Pack- Ok Expansion
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2016

This Sims 3 Generations expansion pack is okay in my opinion but not really what I was hoping for and I feel neutral about it. I was hoping it would have more baby and nursery room items but it doesn't really have that much. It does have two types of strollers but I was hoping it would have rocking chairs and maybe a changing table for sim babies but the rocking chairs are available with the Supernatural expansion pack which I do not understand. Sim teenagers and children can become grounded with this Generations expansion pack which is both a blessing and a curse because after one of my teenagers got over her grounding she was still sneaking around and acting sneaky well into adulthood and I had to move her to another neighborhood to get her to walk normally and quit sneaking around. I am thinking this was an error in this expansion pack but it was irritating because it made my teenager walk much slower and made her almost late for school and work. Overall I would recommend this expansion pack but there are more new actions available with it than new items.
