The Sims 3 (smartphone)

The Sims 3 was released for iPhone and iPod Touch 2 days before the computer version of The Sims 3 came out.

EA's quote for The Sims 3 for iPhone and iPod Touch:

"From the best-selling PC franchise in history, EA Mobile has released The Sims™ 3 as an iPhone™/ iPod® touch game! Direct the lives of your Sims using touch and accelerometer controls while exploring the 3D neighborhood. Customize their looks & personality. Give them big browns or baby blues. Cover their head in curls or have them sport a mohawk. Make them Neurotic, Funny, or Shy. Choose their career. Take them fishing. Watch as they fall in love. With The Sims 3, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!"

 * Some traits included from the developing stage of the Sims 3 that were removed for the computer version, such as Shy, Conversationalist and Materialistic
