      It was a literal RPG in the Xbox 360 version of Sims 3, with direct control of your Sims and everything. You could swap back to the classic overhead view and let them do their own thing at any time, or walk around and live their daily life yourself. Even had split-screen co-op, which rocked.

      It kind of ruined the series for me because it was so much better with direct control yet they never revisited the feature outside of that single console port, and that game was one of the few with major backwards compatibility issues that AFAIK never got fixed so you can’t even play it anymore.

        Yeah, there are several RPG-fied Sims spinoffs, like Bustin’ Out and Urbz. But I manage to play the classical Sims games as RPGs, too.
