The Sims 3
Released June 2, 2009 · consists of 24 releases.
Electronic Arts follows up to the hugely successful Sims 2 with an improved character creation system, an open neighborhood, and a greater focus on character development.
Overview
The Sims 3, the third base game in the Sims franchise, allows players to explore a seamless, open neighborhood, visit neighbors’ homes, and create realistic Sims with distinctive personalities. Your Sims can roam outside of their home with no loading times. They can stroll downtown to hang out with friends, meet someone new at the park, or run into colleagues on the street. New community buildings are available to let your Sim run wild, socialize, work, and play. Easy-to-use design tools allow for unlimited customization to make truly individual Sims. Determine your Sims’ shape and size, from thin to full-figured to muscular—and everything in between. The Sims 3 offers much more in the way of customizing the Sims that live in the neighborhood and also the buildings and places. Thanks to the new smarter AI, Sims will know when to do chores, activities, socializing and how long they should do them for.
Sunset Valley
The Sims 3 neighborhood is now completely seamless. There are no longer multiple neighborhoods such as Downtown, Vacation, and so on. Load times when moving around the neighborhood has been eliminated so the whole town can be explored including Neighbors, Shops and Recreation without a hitch. There are close to 90 houses in the town, each with its own family. At release, the game includes one neighborhood, but the developers have released a tool to add more neighborhoods.
Neighborhood Features
- Everyone in the town will age together.
- Trees and shrubs sway in the breeze.
- The town is fully customizable and allows you to remove and change lots and Sims.
- "Map Tags" float over areas to allow a quick way to find your way around.
- Sims can move nearer to their place of work to reduce traveling time.
- Land values are not just based on size, but now include location.
- You are able to zoom out to see the entire neighborhood or zoom in to a see a single Sim.
- Move houses to bigger or smaller lot sizes.
Sims
The Sims themselves have been completely changed from previous games. Now you are able to create realistic Sims with distinctive personalities. Select from dozens of personality traits and combine them in fun ways. The combination of traits you choose help shape the behavior of your Sims and how they interact with other Sims. Your Sims now have a very basic set of every day needs and they are more complex individuals with unique personalities. There will no longer be "happy" or "sad", or even "furious," Sims now have a new range of Emotions which they will follow, allowing them to express themselves even more. The concept of a mood bar in the game has been replaced with a set of icons called moodlets that show how your Sims feel. Moodlets will stay with your Sim and the duration will be set by a number of factors, including severity and Sims' disposition. Special moods such as embarrassed or depressed are all part of the moodlets system.
Sims now have dreams and traits. Dreams are desires of your Sim that can include wanting to talk to another Sim, get a new career, have a baby and much more. You can decide then to turn it into a Promise. Ignoring a Dream is okay, but ignoring a Promise gives you negative repercussions. There will be around 80 different types of traits to choose from and each Sim will have a total of 5 once they reach the young adult life stage. These Traits will affect how a Sim behaves towards others and affects their moods, like the mood of a Sim that enjoys the outdoors will rise when he/she is outside. There will be 7 age groups: Baby, Toddler, Child, Teenager, Young Adult, Adult, and Elder. Every career has its own building in the neighborhood. Advancing in a career is changed as it depends on skills, personality, relationship with colleagues/boss and even certain goals that have to be fulfilled. Sims can take part-time jobs. Besides the newspaper, you can also apply for a job at the specific career building.
The job system has also received an overhaul. Rather than the Sims simply disappearing for a few hours before coming home, they will actually physically go to a building in the city to work. For example, if a Sim is a musician, they will travel to the theater for work. While they are working, players are able dictate how they work, with options ranging from "Take It Easy" to "Work Hard" (which tires them out and causes stress but gets more stuff done). Jobs can also have specific options, such as the musician career path having the option to chill with your band mates or study music theory.
Keeping Sims Fulfilled
Once you created your Sims on PS3, DS, Wii, XBOX 360, PC or Mac, you can either make Sims happy (Fulfilled) or Unhappy (Unfulfilled). Although you earn more experience if they are fulfilled in even the simplest way. To Do: just look at your Sim's needs and dreams and complete them.
Sims Features
- There are only 6 needs: Energy, Bladder, Fun, Hunger, Social, Hygiene.
- Sims have certain skills like cooking or fishing.
- Hair will not grow but you can 'paint' certain parts of the hair.
- They will look after themselves better.
- Instead of fixed interaction (like Talk or Joke), the options are filtered based on your current Mood or your Traits.
- Sims still spin around to change clothes.
- Sims have likes and dislikes to certain foods, colors, music and much more.
- Sims will now focus on many new skills, skills will not be static as in The Sims 2.
Customization
The Sims and their town are more customizable than ever before, with new and improved tools. Build your dream home where you can customize everything from floors to flowers, shirts to sofas, and wallpaper to window shades. It’s easy to change colors and patterns, giving you endless personalization options. Create-A-Sim has also been vastly improved and will allow you to make really unique Sims. Unlike The Sims 2, Sims aren't restricted to plain "thin" and "fat" body shapes, with new fitness and weight sliders. Shoes can also be chosen separately from the rest of a Sim's outfit. You can choose a Sim's favorite color, music genre and food. One of the most exciting features is now the ability to choose Sims' voices and adjust their pitch, so your Sim can sound unique and will be recognizable from just listening to them talk.
Another great addition to the build tools is the ability to move objects 360 degrees and without a grid. (For example, you're able to center a three tile couch to a two tile TV set.) You can now also position stuff on counters or desktops as long as the objects aren't overlapping. There is a grid available if you need help placing objects, though.
Customization Features
- Character customization is more versatile, allowing Sims to have more obvious ethnicities.
- Shoes and socks are now separate from the rest of the outfit.
- Bodies can be morphed just like faces.
- Adults are now considered more 'middle aged' and have wrinkles.
- Use your own patterns and colors and apply them to anything through a drag-and-drop interface.
- Bookcases can be manually filled with books.
- Some objects can link up and move as one unit for easier redecorating (such as tables and chairs).
- Single staircases can be made up to four tiles wide.
- Houses can now be built up to five stories high.
- You can move around certain objects in Live Mode with your mouse, such as books and garbage.
The Sims 3 Store
Electronic Arts has introduced an online store for The Sims 3, where you can buy exclusive objects, clothing and hairstyles not available through expansion packs. The items are bought using SimPoints, which is purchased with real money or received for free by registering your games. There are also a few free items available from the store.

Challenges and Rewards
The Sims 3 has its own challenge system built into it. Challenges can be broken down into 3 distinct categories: Life, Feats, and Collection. Life challenges are simple and usually require the Sim just to do one thing to complete it. An example of a life challenge is to start a painting or take a bubble bath. The Feats Challenges usually require more time and are longevity based. An example of a Feats challenge would be like that of improving a skill to level ten or watching TV for ten hours. The collection challenges require the Sim to complete all tasks in a set of items. These can range from reading all the books to catching all of the perfect fish in the game.
For every challenge you complete, you gain points that can be used to buy things at the collection shop. The collection shop contains many varying sorts of items including clothes, furniture, and some of the karma powers are unlocked in the collection shop. The challenges are tied to one account so every time you create a new Sim household you will have all of your challenge points available to use.

The second tool is the Create-A-Pattern tool (known as CAP) where players can make their own patterns that can be used on furnishings or clothing in the game. Both of these tools are fully supported by EA and are regularly updated along with the game itself.
Xbox 360, PS3, DS, 3DS, and Wii releases
EA lived up to last year's promise after releasing Sim's 3 for the PC and has officially announced the development of Sim 3 for consoles and handhelds this holiday season. The console versions will have several new features such as "Karma Power" which determines whether your Sim can get lucky in certain tasks or ultimately fail. The PS3 and 360 versions will feature Facebook connectivity to enable the sharing of achievements and trophies via wall posts, and the Wii version will get it's own beach town. The DS will introduce a brand new story mode, not seen previously in handheld Sims games. A 3DS version was also released, this version was similar to the iOS release with added 3D effects. The Sims 3 Pets was also released on The Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Nintendo 3DS. The Xbox 360 version added Kinect support to the franchise.
Karma Powers
Accumulating Karma in the Sims 3 can be done in two ways. Firstly, Karma is gained by completing the wishes your Sims desire. At midnight, Karma is also dispersed upon your Sims and the amount given is directly effected to whether or not the Sim used one of their Karma Powers earlier in the day. Karma Powers can be placed into two shades of categories: light(good) and dark(bad). Some of the powers are locked from the start and must be unlocked in the challenge shop.
The following good Karma Powers are as follows:
- Instant Beauty: Give any Sim in your household an instant makeover by taking him or her back to create a Sim!
- Good Times: Remove bad moodlets from everyone at the same time to put all your sims in a better mood!
- Bless the Mess: Instantly repair and clean anything broken, dirty, or messy!
- Super Satisfy: Satisfy any Sim by maximizing all of his or her needs at once!
- Stroke of Genius: Make any Sim learn skills at a supper-accelerated rate for a few hours!
- Get Lucky: Make any Sim super lucky in love, at work, at finding rare items and even catching fish!
- Giant Jackpot: Let any Sim hit the jackpot with free money from the heavens! Drop anywhere from 1000 Simoleans to 15 thousand Simoleans instantly!
- Divine Intervention: Bring any dead family member back to life! Use on their ghost.
The five bad karma powers are listed as follows:
- Cosmic Curse: Lower any Sim's need to rock bottom instantly!
- Fire Storm: Rain fire and brimstone down on the world with a flaming meteorite shower!
- Quake Maker: Shake the world and watch things break and burn!
- Poltergeists: Haunt any house with these angry ghosts to scare the living daylights out of your Sims!
- Epic Fail: Make any Sim an epic failure in love, career, and even simple household tasks for a few hours!
The Karma Powers 'Get Lucky', 'Giant Jackpot', 'Good Times', 'Stroke of Genius', 'Divine Intervention', and 'Fire Storm' must be unlocked before use.
