How will you create the universe!

The freedom of The Sims 3 will inspire you with endless creative possibilities and amuse you with unexpected moments of surprise and mischief! Create millions of unique Sims and control their lives. Customize their appearances and personalities. Build their homes — design everything from exquisitely furnished dream homes to quaint cottages. Then, send your Sims out to explore their ever-changing neighborhood and to meet other Sims in the town center. 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.

NEW! SEAMLESS, LIVING NEIGHBORHOOD

Explore the ever-changing neighborhood -- and take your Sims to meet friends in the park, discuss fine art at the gallery, visit neighbors' homes, converse with less-than-savory characters in the graveyard and more! Who knows what might happen? Admire the natural beauty of the beach, the mountains, and more.

NEW! CREATE A SIM

Create any Sim you can imagine with new easy-to-use design tools that allow for unlimited customization of facial features, hair color, eye color, and more. Fine tune your Sims' body shape from thin to full-figured to muscular.

NEW! PERSONALITY TRAITS

Select up to five individual personality traits such as brave, artistic, kleptomaniac, clumsy, paranoid, and romantic, to create an endless number of truly diverse Sims. Influence the behaviors of your Sims with the traits you've chosen. Will you create a neurotic romantic with a heart of gold, or a geeky super-genius with an evil streak?

NEW! UNLIMITED CUSTOMIZATION

Everyone can customize everything -- design and build your dream house and decorate it to fit your Sims' personalities. Customize everything from floors to décor, shirts to sofas, wall-paper to window shades.

NEW! GAMEPLAY THAT'S REWARDING AND QUICK

Enjoy the challenge of fulfilling your Sims short- and long-term goals and reap the rewards. Your Sims can pursue random opportunities to get fast cash, get ahead, get even, and more. Choose whether or not to fulfill your Sims' destinies by making their wishes come true. Your Sims can skyrocket from Latrine Cleaner to Astronaut, from Rabid Fan to Sports Legend, or even from Roadie to Rock Star!

  4. boring
    by peta, USA - Feb 28th 2012

    I like the sims but it is boring to play; no matter how many expansion packs they are it is boring after a short while of playing. I think the original sims was more fun.

  5. Good
    by Lenny Melendez, USA - Jan 20th 2012

    Pretty good game. If you've played the passed Sims games you'll see that a lot has change. I think those who are new to the Sims game will also enjoy it for quite some time as the possibilities do seem endless. The customization in building and buying has progressed a lot from the previous titles and creating Sims and pushing them along through their life can be really engaging and lots of fun.

  7. The Sims3
    by Edward Wilson, USA - Aug 24th 2011

    Total waste of money. Boring doesn't even begin to describe this game. It's is the worst of simulation. The graphics are so last century. The game play would cause a coma patient to fall asleep. Remember pong from the early 70's. Pong is better that this any day.

  8. The Sims 3
    by paskalata, - Jul 15th 2011

    it is a great casual game to play whenever you are bored but i would recommend that you find a different game to invest your time in. The game is very much the same as any other Sims game, with the option of going/walking around town and more free gameplay.
