  • The Sims 3: Mystic Magic, just like The Sims 2 Apartment Life & The Sims Makin' Magic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simcontributor (talkcontribs)
  • The Sims 3: College Campus, just like The Sims 2: University.
  • The Sims 3: Paradise, sort of like The Sims: Vacation and The Sims 2: Bon Voyage, but includes Cruises, Amusement Parks, Etc.
  • The Sims 3: Starlight, includes outer space, bringing back aliens and discover other planets and species.
  • The Sims 3: Holiday Days just like The Sims 2: Free Time, includes surf, climbing, aquarium, clothes shop and a new life state, the mermaid.
  • The Sims 3: Thrills & Fun, introduces amusement parks, water parks, skydiving, more travel destinations, ghost towns, and zoos. Buy mode objects: Miniature roller coaster model, pool waterslide, pool diving board, animal themed room, roller coaster themed rooms, and a microphone (functional for singing.)
  • The Sims 3: Luxury Life, bigger lot sizes, house boats, luxury beaches, 5-Star Hotels, new vacations, own more than one house, new clothing, cruises, expensive furniture, classified themes, more places to tour, roller coasters in your own backyard, more floors available in houses, home movie theaters, exotic pets, large greenhouses, and richer pre-made families.
  • The Sims 3: Natural Life, wild animals, weather (foggy, rainy, overcast, cloudy, hazy, and snowy), natural disasters (tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, mass movement, and earthquakes), camgrounds, RV's, pop up campers, quads, dirtbiking, dune buggies, golf, basketball, street hockey, ice skating, roller blading, and new trees.
  • The Sims 3: Simple World, cheap furniture, RV Parks, Hide-A-Bed, garden objects, little houses, cute clothing, new traits (Positive, Negative, and Careless,) new songs (The Fear, Lily Allen ... Born This Way, Lady Gaga ... Walking On Sunshine, Katrina and The Waves ... Price Tag, Jessie J ... You Get What You Give, New Radicals ... Dare You To Move, Switchfoot ... Firework, Katy Perry ... Rhythm Of Love, Plain White T's ... 1,2,3,4, Plain White T's.)
  • The Sims 3:Superheroes, Player can give Sims superpowers in Create a Sim, powers like Super strength, teleportation, telekenesis, fire starting,super speed, detonating objects with just their hands etc. A new career track is made "Super Hero", which is similair to the Law Enforcement career. Powers also unlock new interactions like Detonation power unlocks the "Detonate with Powers" interaction so you don't need any skills and it doesn't cost money.

Super strength automatically maxes out the Athletic Skill, there is a "Knock Out" interaction which makes the Sim punch another Sim causing them to fall unconsious. Super Speed allows you to click somewhere and as well as "walk Here" there is "Speed Here" which will make them run very faster then normal. Telekinesis allows you to click an object and "Send Flying" first it will hover when you first click it and then you click somewhere else and the "Throw Here" or click a Sim and "Throw object at Sim" when it collides with the target it might shatter or just lie down, if you throw a large object at a Sim e.g: Car, statue the Sim will be crushed and might die. Fire starting allows you to click on a Sim or object and select "Set on Fire" and the Sim will throw flames at the target and it will immediately catch fire, but unlike the Pyromaniac trait it will destroy objects and kill Sims. Teleportation allows you click somewhere and as well as "Walk Here" it will have "Teleport Here" which cause the SIms to disapear in a bright light and then reappear.

  • The Sims 3:Storylines, players can choose how the towns people react to and treat their sims, making a 'storyline' for the sim. This can be such as does the entire town hate them for 'mystery reasons'? Or maybe they are of high class and everyone in the town respects them. Player can choose to live a normal life, or change the towns attitude, helping for players to create their story to whatever their imagination wants.

If everyone is afraid of you, it will be hard to make friends as everyone will run and whisper/spread rumours. And if everyone hates you, random sims may pull pranks on you or start fights. If everyone respects you, sims may give gifts to you or bow out of politeness. It could effect all of your family sims for gernerations, or be non-generation and just one particular sim. You can also maybe improve the attitude over time if you want. There can also have other add in details, such as for vampires there can be an option for 'living in secret' or not, and other sims won't know of vampires existence and vampires will have to hide the fact. If other sims find out, there can be protests infront of your house or something. Also there can be a new job called 'hunter', in which non-vampire sims can take to search out vampires if they live in secret. A hunter would basically go around town asking questions, finding leads or going off rumours, and seeking vampires out. When they find a vampire, they can use holy water or stakes to try and defeat it, and either the vampire will escape or be unlucky and turn into a pile of dust in which the hunter can collect.


  • medicine,science and religion

sims can have disability's and diseases,more interesting science stuff.sims can join an religion and start or research conspiracy theory


  • time travel

your sims can travel in time and go into monments of his past and future

Started new section

Idea for a new expansion pack:

My idea for a new expansion pack is going to be a thing about cadet groups. Here are some examples:

Your sim children can join:

  • Air cadets
  • Sea cadets
  • Army cadets

This expansion pack will be called sims3 cadet life, where all your sims will be able to get the oportunity to go to one of those and join. In this expansion pack, there won't just be cadet groups in it, but there would also be extra jobs in it like for example:

  • Being in the RAF (Royal air force)
  • Sailing on a passenger ship or cruise
  • Being in the army

This would be an exciting expansion pack because it's got loads of extra stuff in it that people would love and enjoy, and it would also have something that a sim would enjoy and have the oportunity to do have that realy enjoyable experience.

Your sims will have ranks in it too. Here are the ranks that your sims will get promoted to:

  • Corpral
  • Sargent
  • Flight sargent (if in air cadets)
  • Warrent officer

So these are ALL of my ideas for a new expansion pack.

Hope you enjoyed it!!

Sims 3 Detective

-Sims can now get into the detective field, finding clues and solving mysteries around the town. Murder from one sim to another is now possible, if under the right circumstances. A higher level of dislike can eventually give your sims the option of 'murder', or in lighter terms, 'to commit the deed'. Murder in the sims can come in many ways: poisioning in the drink or food, hiring an assassin over the phone (or tempting another sim to be the assassin), tripping sims down the stairs, or lighting a fire. All attacks have the possibility to fail, 50-50 chance, so just because you want to 'murder' someone doesn't mean it will be easy. If an attack is detected by the targeted sim, for example, for the next few days they will avoid food and drink, and avoid sleeping too long in bed. This can hinder any future plans for the attaker as the targeted sim will be cautious for a while.

Failed, or targeted sims can also call detectives for hire, in which case your attacking sim now has to be on guard. If caught red-handed, 50-50 chance, your sim can have a restraining order placed for a certain number of days. If the muder is successful, relatives or close-friends can also call the detective to be sure of no foul play. Detectives will interview each family member or friend on the lot (at the time of the killing) and visit the crime scene all before arriving at a 'conclusion'. Again, there is a chance your sim will either be caught (higher leveled detectives are more adpt to make the correct conclusion), or no conclusion is drawn (lower skilled detectives can either make 'right or 'wrong' choices, meaning even innocent sims could have the chance to be sentenced with guilt).

WIth playable sim detectives, your own gathering of clues and interviews will be the only way to point you in the right direction. At the end, you must make a choice (wrong choices are sometimes punished with a fine and notice of their innocence).

After being sentenced, guilty or not, sims are carried away by the detectives and police. Family members and friends are impacted by the revelation. A restraining order, fine, and a heavy impact on all relationships close to the victim.

Sims can also form 'groups'  in this pack. You can ask or invite sims to create a membership group, then pick a topic on which the group devotes its meetings to. These topics can include: world domination, world peace, book club, pets, supernatural etc. Meetings can be called at any time, and a meeting place arranged. Whoever starts the group is leader. Leaders can have special abilities like calling for silence. Members can betray other members, but if caught they are kicked from the group. Leaders can kick members at free-will. Groups can be disbanded at any time.

Sims 3 Country life

My idea is Sims 3 Country Life. In this, you would be able to live on a farm, and have cows, pigs, chickens, etc. You would be able to "use" them to get dairy products and possibly meat. You would have more interactive farming skills, and you could hire people to work on your farm. New objects would include: Living areas and objects for the new animals, and new country themed clothes for sims of all ages. New country songs. Maybe a new city.

Sims 3 Hobbies & Intrests

This expansion pack would be used mainly to make the life of a toddler, child or teen more intresting. Toddlers would be able to start Kindergarten and interact with other toddlers. There would be lots of new toys. Adults could start a career as a Kindergarten teacher. Toddlers would also be able to start certain activities (that they can also continue with as they get older, at a more advanced level). Some ideas for activities (toddlers can start most of them, and then when they get older, they improve and are at a higher level than another child who didn't start young) are: Dancing, singing & instruments, acting, soccer, basketball, cheerleading, gymnastics, handball, swimming, etc etc.

All of these activities would be like a mini Career for toddlers, children and teens. It would be a bit like a job: the harder you work, the faster you improve. There could be maybe, 10 different levels of each activity. When you've worked hard enough for a while, you move up a level. When you move up, you pretty much move to a better team or group.

Each activity would also have certain features: Dance would have competitions and recitals. Singing would have performances. Acting would have auditions and plays. Sports would have tryouts and matches. Swimming would have competitions.

There could also be new traits to go with each activity, such as, "Born to dance" (which would mean you were an extra good dancer, cheerleader and gymnast), "Talented singer" (amazing singer), "Superstar" (acting), "Magic feet" (soccer) etc. 

For each activity, there could be different things to choose when you've got to a certain age or level. In dance you could choose which style the sim is best at, such as jazz, acrobatics, ballet or tap. In music, you could choose a type of music like rock, classical etc. In sports, you could choose a position. Swimmers could choose a stroke that they prefer.

When a teen who's done an activity for their whole life becomes a young adult, they could be offered a job as an award, or they could choose to go to a university to help develop their skills further. Some new careers could be "Broadway" (for dancers, singers, actors, etc.), "Basketball", "Swimmer" etc.

One more thing before I post this: Each activity would also offer prizes, tiaras, banners, plaques, trophys after competitions and matches. Each activity would also give oppertunities for sims to travel to competitions around the world if The Sims 3 World Adventures (is that what it's called?) is installed. :)

Oh yeah: (this is the last one, promise!) The expansion pack would also include new clothes and hairstyles to use for practice, training, competitions and matches.

Sims 3 Family Life

This is just a quick idea:

-More ages, smaller difference (newborn, baby, toddler, young child, tween, teen, young adult, adult, elder)

-You would be able to create newborns and babies in create-a-sim

-New activities for families, such as zoos, waterparks, and amusement parks

-New family and love interactions

Sims 3 Party, party, party!

This expansion pack would let you create more intresting parties for your sims. New features would include:

-themed parties (fairytales, monsters, cars, horses etc.) mostly for children

-discos

-parties in new locations such as the zoo, an amusement park or a waterpark (you would also be able to visit these places alone or with family/friends on regular days.

-new party objects

-party interactions

-new job as a party planner

-new clothes and hairstyles
