==Reception==
Player reception has been mixed and some gaming sites gave it medium ratings, though many players have said that the game is very glitchy. Glitches have been known to include Sims around town dying randomly in the streets, a very confusing fire code that doesn't allow a player to place furniture in an empty house that they just bought and objects that stop working. The game has also been heavily criticized for not allowing players to build their own houses, rather living in pre-made "shells" that can be furnished by the player. EA said that it cannot fix the glitches on the Wii.
Like [[The Sims 3 (console)|The Sims 3 for PS3 and Xbox 360]], this game has often been compared with the [[The Sims 3|Windows and Mac OS X version]]. Unlike other versions, the Wii version has [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_lockout Regional lockout].

The Sims 3 for console has been criticized for being too expensive with the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions costing $60 and the Wii costing $50 compared with Windows and Mac OS X costing $40. In Mid-2011, Electronic Arts lowered the price of the [http://store.origin.com/DRHM/store?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&SiteID=ea&Locale=en_US&ThemeID=718200&Env=BASE&productID=152415300 PS3], [http://store.origin.com/DRHM/store?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&SiteID=ea&Locale=en_US&ThemeID=718200&Env=BASE&productID=152415600 Xbox 360] and [http://store.origin.com/DRHM/store?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&SiteID=ea&Locale=en_US&ThemeID=718200&productID=159032000 Wii] versions to $40. The Sims 3's successor, The Sims 3 Pets will cost $50 rather than $60.
*The Wii version lacks Create-a-Style in game and also lacks ages like Babies, Toddlers and Young Adults which can not be playable.
*The gender of the child isn't revealed until after the player names them.
**It's possible for a Sim to become [[Pregnancy|pregnant]] even when they are aging up into an [[elder]]. The baby will not be born, and the Sim will remain pregnant until their death.
**If a Sim has a child and immediately tries for baby after, they will be brought to the [[hospital]] again and another child will be born.
*Pools cannot be created in the Wii version.
*Once the player exits [[Create a Sim]], a Sim's outfits/hairstyle can not be changed for the rest of the game.
*Plates of food can get stuck under fridges, making them unable to be used.
*All [[service]]s are available, rendering it impossible to hire a [[maid]], order [[pizza]], [[Adoption|adopt]], or call the [[police]].
*Sims can not be invited out, only invited over to one's homes.
==Trivia==
Line 95 ⟶ 103:
*If player has a baby, it will be a [[child]]. If, due to being born, the child is not at [[school]], this will count as skipping and homework will be incomplete.
*Despite the fact vegetarians can be created, special veggie foods like Tofu Dog are unavailable.
*All neutral [[moodlets]] are absent. Moodlets such as "Sleepy" and "Stuffed" have a -5/+5 mood effect, respectively.
*Players can move their Sims with the joystick on the Nunchuk instead of clicking where the players want them to go. This control method was also used in the console version of ''[[The Sims 2 (console)|The Sims 2]]''.
*The school bus doesn't exist in the Wii version, and instead the children take a carpool to school.
