The freedom of The Sims™ 3 will inspire you with endless creative possibilities and amuse you with unexpected moments of surprise and mischief!

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. 

Go online to download exclusive content and show off your own creations to the world. 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.

Create any Sim you can imagine and give them unique personalities. The all-new Create a Sim is easy to use and more powerful than ever, letting you completely personalize your Sims.

Create millions of different personalities based on the all-new Personality Traits system. Combine unique personality traits to populate your neighborhood with interesting Sims. Will you create an idealistic, creative dreamer who relishes taking risks thanks to his daredevil streak? Will you make an insensitive, drop-dead gorgeous socialite who neglects her romantic side and whose deepest secret is that she is actually a certified genius? It’s entirely up to you.

Fine-tune almost every feature on your Sims face; customize their hair color, eye color, skin tone and more. It's never been easier to make Sims that are thin, full-figured, muscular, and everything in between!

There’s more to your Sims’ lives in The Sims 3. Enjoy the challenge of short-term and long-term goals and then reap the rewards! Based on personality traits, skills, and career choice, your Sims have short and long term Wishes that provide constant, fun challenges—things to do and achieve. You have the ultimate freedom to choose whether (or not!) to fulfill their destiny, giving them lifetime happiness and rewards!

Will your Sim attend the right training exercises, salute the right military personnel, and skyrocket from a lowly Latrine Cleaner to a high-flying Astronaut? Will they hit the sports stadium, impress the talent scouts, and make winning plays that catapult them from a Rabid Fan to Sports Legend? Maybe your Sim will perfect their guitar skill, headline concerts, and be worshiped by legions of fans who propel them from the life of a Roadie to Rock Star status. Your Sims’ destinies are up to you!

Design and build homes with complete freedom to customize everything from your Sims home, to their furniture, clothing and more. Enjoy infinite possibilities to stylize your Sims belongings with the all-new Create-A-Style tool. Customize the colors on your favorite patterns and apply them to any object you like. Give your Sims a plaid television set to match their plaid shirt. Or a striped sports car that matches the walls of their home. Create custom Styles that can be applied to virtually any object. Customize details on your Sims belongings right down to the rims on their car! Will you choose a classic, rustic, or chic Style for your Sim? The possibilities are endless for creating the home of your Sims' dreams.

Take your Sims out of the house and visit new locations including the gym, bistro, graveyard, beach ,and more. Every Sim has a unique personality including your Sims’ neighbors, co-workers, and friends. Your Sims can meet their new neighbors on a brisk morning jog; visit their best friend’s home for a dinner party, take the family out for a day of sun in the park, or even meet their hot new love interest for a romantic sunset picnic on the beach. Cultivate life-long friendships and stormy rivalries. As you explore your Sims’ surroundings, who knows what might happen!

The neighborhood itself has a personality, created in part by the unique personalities of the Sims. Will you create a soccer mom who lives with her family in the suburban subdivision not too far from town? Or a wealthy businessman who owns a spectacular mansion in the hills overlooking the sea? The choices are yours and you can change the neighborhood into whatever you want it to be.
