About

In The Sims 3, you can create Sims with unique personalities, fulfill their desires, and control their lives within a customizable living neighborhood. Unlock all-new Karma Powers and unleash them on your Sims: help your Sim get lucky with the power of "love connector", bless them with the power of "age defiler" or "instant beauty" or curse them with an "instant enemy". Use these powers wisely, because they may have unexpected results! As you guide your Sims through life, you can complete challenges to unlock additional items, new buildings and landmarks.

Storyline

Create over a million unique Sims and control their lives. Customize everything from their appearances, to their personalities and even the home of their dreams. Then, send your Sims out to explore new locations around town and to meet other Sims in the neighborhood. With all-new quick challenges and rewarding game play, The Sims 3 gives you the freedom to choose whether (or not!) to fulfill your Sims’ destinies and make their wishes come true. Powerful character design tools let you make exactly who you want. Robust building features allow for precise control over your Sims' home. And your Sims can explore a huge neighborhood to their heart’s content. Day or night, work or play, the world is your Sims' oyster. It’s easy and fun to make your unique Sims look just right. From the face and body shaping options to the vast and ever-growing range of clothing choices to the intriguing personality types, you can create the character of your dreams… or even make yourself! Sims can roam freely throughout the town. Visit the local bistro, check out the new nightclub, get a few reps in at the gym, whatever strikes your Sims' fancy is theirs to pursue… and they’ll never have to wait in line! Whether or not you believe in destiny, you can help your Sims achieve their dreams. During their lifetimes, Sims will want different things based on their individual personality traits. Fulfilling these desires gets you points to spend purchasing new items for your Sims. And it’ll give you a nice warm feeling, too.
