Unfortunately The Sims 3 on console is far from perfect, the town does seem a lot smaller than I expected it to be, although the various households are quite stretched out. To be honest I found it quite difficult because while I was wandering around the town with one Sim, trying to make friends and influence people, it was usually to the detriment of the other Sim I created, who would just go about her own thing.  I was also expecting the Sims to provide a more bustling, busy environment with a lot going on, however to be honest the whole game feels quite empty.
