The Sims 3 keeps many of the innovations introduced by its predecessor, but adds several new features. The Sims 3 is the first game to feature an open-world concept: players are no longer limited to having a single lot loaded at a time, and Sims are able to move about and explore an entire town without triggering a loading screen.
The Sims 3 features robust customization options through an expanded build mode and Create a Sim. The Sims 3 also introduces the Create a Style tool to the series, which allows players to change the patterns and colors of objects and clothing, and copy styles between different objects. The Sims 3 replaces the points-based personality system of The Sims and The Sims 2 with a system based on unique traits. These traits influence a Sim's behavior and wishes, including their lifetime wish.
Sim needs are also updated, with much of the functionality of these needs replaced or augmented by moodlets. Moodlets can have a positive, negative, or neutral affect on a Sim's mood. Moodlets can be triggered by specific events, proximity to certain areas or objects, or by very low or very high motives.
As of , it has sold over 7 million copies, making it one of the best-selling PC games of all time. In addition to the base game, The Sims 3 features 11 optional expansion packs and nine stuff packs.
The Sims 3 boasts a robust online store that sells downloadable content including new game objects and object sets, venues, and worlds. The game also has over three dozen free game updates that fix game bugs and add new content to the game. Reviewer: ilikemacsalot - - November 20, Subject: Note to all users! I found out that each disc needs their specific code I tried to use one of my discs code with the other same version and disc but it didn't work.

After it has downloaded, open it and your mods folder and then in the mods folder open up the packages folder Then in the packages folder, drag the mod into there.
Reviewer: Michael Castro - favorite favorite - March 16, Subject: working or not what version is this. There are multiple howtos and patches to get this game to work on modern hardware. Just googles 'Sims 1 windows 10', the first link will probably be to a howto at SimsVIP, which is adequate. Can't get it to launch even after changing the compatibility mode and running as administrator. Any advice? I have an issue where moving in a family just puts me in buy mode and no sims are on the lot, any fix for this?
Who the hell is installing games to the ProgramFiles directory? It's , in the '90s it was ok, after not really. Win 98 was so unstable in the past I needed to use old NortonGhost 2floppy disc to made backup from a newly installed windows with media players, drivers and games.
BTW after that the backup reinstall just took mins with my games register files games installed on D:. Thank you for these uploads! I was having a bit of trouble getting it to run on my new laptop but turns out it is a super simple fix. Now its running fast. This video helped me so thought I would share. Thank you very very much for this!! I will update the original Sims forum in here that they should download this edition instead to enjoy the DLC add-ons. Thank you community at Abandonware!
This is a terrible download. Avoid at all costs. Fake complete collection download. Don't download, it's a custom shitty and extremely slow installer with missing stuff. It's not the real complete collection. There's only one neighborhood and for instance the tutorial is not included. Had some minor issues with the download, but apart from that, this game works perfectly!
There is, however, only one neighborhood but that doesn't make a huge different. The installer certainly takes a while, but once up and running on my Windows XP virtual machine it went perfectly. An excellent game overall! For problems with the game's performance, use a DirectDraw wrapper.
Completely disable UAC or install in c:userspublic since it's considered 'public' no permissions issues with saves. When I make a family and attempt to move them into a home, the home loads but the family is never included and build mode is the only mode activated.
The audio only works on a computer they don't make anymore. But, if you get the full edition with all of the packs the audio will work. This game is cool but when you play it now it now compared to all the other ones it looks and feels bad.
The save error occurs because the game was designed during the windows 9x days which didn't have user level protections.
