The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval use the same engine, so they may seem somewhat alike, but they are very different games.
The Sims 3
The Sims 3, like previous games in The Sims series, is set in a modern era. While players have always been able to use custom content to simulate a medieval setting, at least to some degree, the games themselves presume a modern society with refrigerators and stoves, computers and telephones, etc.
In The Sims 3, players can design and recolor almost everything in the game. Also, players can go into considerable detail when creating Sims and families.

(In both cases, they can be made selectable with the use of cheats.) This is a major difference not only from The Sims 3, but The Sims and The Sims 2. There is a rumor that if the main character you play as dies one of children will grow up into a adult and take there place.
Jobs
In The Sims 3 the jobs are modern jobs because it's a modern game. Most of the jobs are like a chef, criminal, mascot, ect. Then you can get promoted by gaining skill points needed for the job. Plus if you skip work you get fired. Simple.
The Sims Medieval has jobs more jobs like a monarch, knight, spy, and so on. Plus if you skip work or don't do what your suppose to do bad things can occur. Your sim can get fined, get food thrown at you in a little wooden handholder, or worst of all you can get
