iPhone Central – Hands on with the Sims 3 for iPhone and iPod touch

Not only can you interact with other Sims, but you can get a job, explore the world, and fill the individual Sim’s wishes and needs. During the demo, Mr. Dreyer showed me how to command my Sim to cook. There’s a cooking mini-game that requires the player to pick up the pots in order to have them cool. If you leave a pot on for too long, your food will be burnt and inedible. The interface, though small, was nonetheless intuitive. The cooking mini-game isn’t just a side distraction, as the game progresses, your Sim can invite others over for dinner. Better not burn the spaghetti then.
