''[[The Sims 3]]'' launched in 2009, introducing sweeping changes to the series. The formerly segregated lots are unified into open worlds that Sims can fully explore, the point-based personality system is replaced with a series of self-descriptive [[Trait (The Sims 3)|traits]] that influence a Sim's behaviour, and the appearance of objects can be customised using an in-game texture compositor, known as "[[Create a Style]]" (CAST). For the first in the series, new features were introduced in subsequent patches, including a basement tool, tattoos, diving boards, traits, improvements to [[Create a Sim]], objects and other gameplay enhancements.
The game features the most amount of add-on content to date, with eleven expansion packs; ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures|World Adventures]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions|Ambitions]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night|Late Night]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Generations|Generations]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Pets|Pets]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime|Showtime]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural|Supernatural]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons|Seasons]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: University Life|University Life]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Island Paradise|Island Paradise]]'', and ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future|Into the Future]]''.
