01Overview

In The Sims 3, you can create Sims with unique personalities, fulfill their desires and control their lives within a customizable living neighborhood. You unlock Karma Powers and use them on your Sims. Help a Sim get lucky, or bless them or curse them, and be careful, because the results can be unexpected. As you guide your Sims through life, you can complete challenges to unlock additional items, new buildings and landmarks. Character creation lets you mix and match facial features and body types, and you add personality traits that shape the Sim's wishes. You design the home too, and you are not limited by a grid, so furniture and walls can be placed, rotated and stacked freely. Your Sim develops a career, finds love and pursues dreams, and spending time with friends and family matters as much as building skills like painting. The neighborhood is open for you to explore, so your Sims can leave the house and meet others in town. You can record movies of your Sims' adventures and share them with the community, and a catalog of expansion packs adds more content.
