'''Q''' Just wondering, is having children in this game different with skin tones? Like if someone dark skinned and someone light skinned have a child, will that child land somewhere in between? I might have over looked it, sorry if I did, just wondering. [[User:Cheap novelty|Cheap novelty]] 02:20, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

:Since skin tones can be chosen by a slider it is possible that children will have a melded skin tone. [[User:A morris|-- a_morris]] 15:21, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

'''A''' Yeah what a_moris said the sims will have skintones that are mixed (for example If you created a blue sim (using the color palete) and a yellow sim (using the color palete) It might come out a green sim or they said sometimes it will come out blue or yellow --[[User:Sprite7868|Sprite7868]] 22:56, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[[User:Sprite7868|-- Sprite7868]] 14:43, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

The response is yes, it like if you were arking if we can drive a Mclaren F1 at 100Km/h (60mph) [[User:Chief frank 001|CF001]]

== No Aliens? ==

I find it hard to believe that there will be no aliens in the game, there should be.
counting the fact that you can go out in space as an astronaut, then shouldn't aliens be like ... a friend brought home from work or something?
like they do in "The Sims 2".

Aliens should Be Included.
Because it's fun to have aliens in the game.
i my self am a huge fan of the sims alien section.
although they don't seem to have many new options for the aliens in the sims 2 packs.


[[User:Xiaou|Xiaou]] 12:10, 3 April 2009 (UTC)Xiaou


according to Suuny, there will be aliens in the game. check out http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Ask_Sunny_The_Sims_3_Questions

== Another Little Question. ==

will there be stuff packs and expansion packs?.

== Cars==
Does anyone know if a driveway has to be built in the same way as the sims 2? I remember seeing on one of the creator camp profiles that there was a house in the woods where the car was parked on regular ground.

:It can be placed anywhere (don't need to connect it to street and other Driveway), is much smaller (no space for Sim walking) and has no floor tile.

== Length of Pregnancy ==

{{Amorris talk
|text= There looks to be the beginning of an edit war about the length of pregnancy in ''The Sims 3''. If something is confirmed, don't just say it is confirmed. Please try to provide some kind of reference. A link to a web site or video, the name and issue of a magazine, the event at which it was announced by EA, etc.

:I put a note of "citatio needed" there.
:[[User:Ilovefoxes|Ilovefoxes]] 02:12, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
In sims 3, pregnancy is still three days, starting ri9ght after the try for a baby conception. The mothers spin into pregnancy the next day, and gradually grow, until they begin labor the next day.
EX: Two sims-male and female- have try for a baby on Monday. The next day-Tuesday- at the same time of conception the female spins into her pregnancy clothes and grows a very very tiny bump-ie dont try to look for it.

The female continues to gradually grow until the same time of conception on Wednesday, when she goes into labor, her water breaks, and contractions start. You can either have a home or hospital birth. Each takes at least two hours, and that is the complete full pregnancy.

{{Amorris talk
|text= I wonder if the confusion about how long a pregnancy lasts was caused by playing at different [[lifespan]]s. Is pregnancy always 3 days even if you are not playing on Normal lifespan?

== Bella Goth ==
I heard a rumor that if you do not play the game at all, the strylne will contnue just as it did in the Sims and the Sims 2. If this is true, what will happen to Bella Goth? There are no aliens in the game, so she cannot be abducted...--[[User:Bella Goth|Bella Goth]] 20:34, 19 May 2009 (UTC)Bella Goth

it could be something to do with don

No, it just means that the game continues to prgress. Sims willl die, marry, spawn, and have careers. If you don't play a certain family, they will still progress, unless you make a new gmaefile, then the neighborhood would reset for your new file.

==Corrections for a couple of inaccuracies on the main page==

1) Sims 3 was NOT developed by EA Black Box. It was developed in the EA Redwood Shores studio by EA itself (under the EA Play label).
2) The engine used is not Renderware - it is a proprietary engine developed specifically for The Sims 3.

I would say at least fifty years, since Mortimer Goth is a child and in Sims 2 he's an elder. Riverview doesn't make sense, though. Betty and Bob Newbie are teens and Skip Broke is a child......

Engine

Does anyone know if the Sims 3 engine has a name? It's not propietary, that was someone misunderstanding the words in an article and Sims 3 isn't listed under games with Renderware on wikipedia. Duskey(talk)(blog) 10:14, June 30, 2010 (UTC)


It used to say RenderWare on WP but it got removed. It's possible though. GEORGIEGIBBONS 17:05, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Haha!

Did anybody else notice that on the Sims 3 came case on the main pg, you can see a young Mortimer above the 's' in Sims? He gets caught off though. There is also a younger-looking Corneilia to the left of a stern-looking officer. oh! And an evil-smiling child girl at the bottom right corner near the 'EA" sign. Then a nicer one next to a black lady on a phone above. Hehe....Sims can be so funny.. -- 24.131.224.165 20:32, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Does The Sims 3 console have the ageing system and kids?

Q: Same as the headline. GEORGIEGIBBONS 17:04, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
