Almanac of time

The almanac of time allows the player to keep track of their Sim's progress with the future in The Sims 3: Into the Future. The time almanac can be seen being used by Emit Relevart and is given by him after activating the time portal for the first time. The time almanac can be found in a Sim's inventory.

The almanac of time has three tabs: the Events tab, the Descendants tab, and the Legacy Statues tab.

The almanac may be a reference to "Back to the Future" since the movie features the 'Sports Almanac' that Marty McFLy bought was a pivotal item that triggered the alternate timeline in Back to the Future II when it was stolen by Biff Tannen.

Events tab
The Events tab shows all three possible outcomes for Oasis Landing. By default, the outcome is set to the normal future, although the player can change it to dystopian future or utopian future by clicking "Trigger This Event". This however requires either at least level 1 of Advanced Technology skill and can only be done at the present neighborhood or Sims must complete a set of opportunities. The outcome can be reset if the Sim has level 10 of the Advanced Technology skill.

Descendants tab
The Descendants tab shows the active household and each member's descendants. It also shows the location of their descendants, house size, and the budget of the family. The status of Sims' descendants will reflect on Sims' family net worth, traits, getting married on other Sims, or even how many members in their family. However, their descendants' status can be change once a Sim travel back to the preset day and earning or loosing the goals. Players will know if a message shows that the Sims' future is changing.

Legacy Statues tab
The Legacy Statues tab shows the five legacy statues that can be earned. The statues are found in the Legacy park. When a Sim completes the requirements, he/she will take over the legacy statue status a Sim choose.
