Before i bought this i read loads of reviews saying there are so many bugs, and they couldn't get it to work. i remember that when i bought the sims 3 the reviews were similar, but i didn't have any problems, so i decided to buy it anyway.
i love it and it installed fine, in less than half an hour. i can't wait for the next expantion to come out, and i willl definatly buy it too. hoped this helped xxx
Excellent game - vast amounts of new things to see and and do!

Reviewer: E. Smith,
This is an excellent, and very different, expansion pack for The Sims. If you're expecting something along the lines of previous expansions for previous versions of The Sims, then you're in for a surprise.

World Adventures offers a whole new dimension to The Sims game-play by adding an adventure style element to the game. I suspect this won't be for everybody, but I think it's a fun new twist to spice up a tried-and-tested formula.

In addition to the new areas to visit, explore and have adventures, there are also many new objects, hairstyles and clothes. These are elements that were limited in the base game and many will feel are much needed additions.

I don't want to give too much away as I don't want to spoil it for new players. However, I feel compelled to give this new expansion a thumbs up for fun and originality; it's a worthy addition to your base game.

Great game shame about the install problems

This WA Exp pack is great and adds a new dimension to a mega game. I did have issues installing though with it saying that the disc was region locked (another EA install issue!!) I got around it by changing a setting (search google for "wrong region sims 3") Also I experience long loading times between destinations and a couple of other minor bugs
Anyway this is a top game that allows you to waste your life way in the real world More please !!!
So much information, so little comprehension

I just started playing World Adventures today and it installed and played without any problems. I have experienced quite a few glitches and bugs with Sims 3 (base game) and found myself reading up on these issues on any forums I could find which had relevant information. I had to uninstall the base game Sims 3 more than once and decided to do so in anticipation of World Adventures` release (a new start in a new town). A couple of new patches were released this week and these patches cured my game`s problems. World Adventures itself contains patches to some of the issues in the base game which (mostly) solve a lot of the issues people were having. I have to say though...to the people who complain about their game not working since the last patch or since installing World Adventures, if you use CC (Custom Content) or mods there will always be a chance it will conflict with the game.
Sims 3 is NOT like Sims 2 and CC will most likely cause issue at some point in your game whenever the game is patched or a new expansion is released...this is a widely known fact and yet people still insist on having "that hairstyle from so`n`so site". Well, if you MUST use CC then do so at your game`s risk. The key thing is to know what you are buying or what you are downloading. Google questions and answers, there is lots of information out there so no need to cut off your nose to spite your face!
The game itself?
I took my sim off to France for a three day holiday and finished my first quest and I have to say it was quite enjoyable. I was quite the cynic regarding the new direction this first expansion pack decided to take but was pleasantly surprised. The French town looks nice and I`ve probably just skimmed the surface of what is available to do when on holiday there. China is next and then Egypt. There are also lots of new things added to the game through WA (basements are much easier to do now, fences and stairs are now recolourable too and there quite a lot of new objects and house items to add to your game as well as some new social interactions), all in all it`s quite a large expansion pack. I haven`t experienced the big issues mentioned by some people commenting here and I wouldn`t want people to be put off buying the game just because some people are banging their fists rather than banging on their computer keyboard to find some easy solutions online to their problems.
