'''[http://www.primagames.com Prima Games]''', a division of [http://www.randomhouse.com/ Random House], is a publishing company for video game strategy guides. They normally feature in-depth walkthroughs to completing the game and the characters. To date, guides have been released for ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]''. Separate guides were released for all expansion packs for ''The Sims 1'' and ''2''. Guides for the first three ''The Sims 3'' expansion packs were released, and it was then announced that the guide for ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'' would only be available as part of a boxed set containing pocket-sized versions of all previous guides; the box set also included an item catalogue listing the contents of the first four stuff packs. With ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]'' Prima Games resumed releasing separate, print copy editions of guides for each expansion pack. However, with the release of ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'' it was announced that the guides would be released only in eBook format. From ''[[The Sims 3: Island Paradise]]'' onward, no new guides have been released. According to the website [http://simsvip.com/2013/06/16/no-prima-guide-for-sims-3-island-paradise/ SimsVIP] a "compilation" print guide has been announced, rumoured to contain the "missing" guides for ''Seasons'', ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'', ''Island Paradise'' and ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''.
