The Sims 3 is based on The Sims original base game and The Sims 2 original base game, and therefore contains many of the same features.

Completely new features

These features in The Sims 3 base game have not existed in any game in The Sims series before:

  • Seamless neighborhood
    • Bicycles
    • Time passes on all lots on the same time - in The Sims 2 it was frozen on the home lot as long as Sims visited community lots. To avoid exploitation of this, Sims could not learn skills, or sleep, in community lots. In The Sims 3, Sims can do almost everything regardless of where they are.
    • Ability to visit other homes
    • Story progression - non-active households evolve during gameplay (can turn on or off)
  • Create-A-Sim features:
  • Traits
  • Moodlets
  • Create-A-Style
  • Ability to adjust lifespan
  • Ability to turn off aging (possible through cheats in The Sims 2)
  • New skills (Guitar, Painting and Writing)
  • New music
  • Skill challenges
  • "Rabbit holes" - elementary, opaque civic buildings
  • Opportunities
  • Enhanced job features
    • Job performance options
    • Dynamic performance criteria (skills, co-workers, assignments)
    • Raises

In expansion packs
