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, on 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)
    • Variable lifespan
  • Create-A-Sim features:
  • Traits.
  • Moodlets
  • Favorites (food, color and music)
  • 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.
  • "Rabbit holes" - elementary, opaque civic buildings
    • Skill classes at rabbit holes
    • Community Events at rabbit holes, such as plays, concerts, games and spa treatment (Bon Voyage had on-screen massage and saunas, though conceptually different)
    • Maintaining controls over Sims at school or workplace
  • Opportunities
  • Enhanced job features
    • Job performance options
    • Dynamic performance criteria (skills, co-workers, assignments)
    • Raises
    • Branching careers
  • New music and TV channels
  • Ghost interaction and playable Ghosts.
