Line 5:
*Features that were in older games of ''The Sims 3'' but removed or changed in later versions of The Sims 3 are in '''Version specific features removed'''.
==Startup==
*The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval cannot be ran directly by using Run even if TS3.exe{{vgversion|TS3}} and TSM.exe {{Vgversion|TSM}} are typed. Shortcuts such as -w (Windowed) are no longer supported.
*The notice '''Game Experience May Change During Online Play''' has been replaced with '''Online Interactions Not Rated by the ESRB'''. This is also seen on The Sims 2 Double Deluxe, FreeTime, IKEA Home Stuff, The Sims 2 Store Edition and The Sims Castaway Stories.
**However, the '''Online Interactions Not Rated by the ESRB''' is no longer shown in The Sims 3 Fast Lane startup. This is also seen in The Sims 3-The Sims 3 Ambitions if the update is released on or after Fast Lane. However, the notice is still seen on copies of Fast Lane and later games sold in US and Canada.
*The Sims 3 is no longer ran directly as it opens the Launcher. However, a shortcut can be made to start The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval directly. (No longer possible in [[The Sims 3/Patch 69|Patch 69]] and later patches.)
*EPs now have the word "[[Expansion Pack]]" when an EP such as Late Night is started. In The Sims 2, EPs did not have the word and only the name was used (e.g., ''The Sims 2 Seasons'' and ''The Sims 2 Nightlife'').
*All Sims 3 EPs and SPs no longer have new startup music. Late Night does have the theme of The Sims 3 for Console when the game is loaded.
Line 20:
 
==Options==
*Although music can be previewed, it is not possibleimpossible to stop the current music from being played.
*It is not possibleimpossible to prevent a specific song from being played as it could be done in [[The Sims 2]] and [[The Sims Stories]].
*Edge Scrolling is now disabled by default in The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval whereas it was turned on by default in The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories.
*Freewill is now a slider rather than being a checkbox.
Line 45:
*<s>Lots can no longer be placed.</s> Restored in ''The Sims 3: Ambitions''.
===Build/Buy Mode===
*It is not possibleimpossible to save in Buy/Build Mode from options whereas this was possible in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims Stories]]''. ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'' requires the user to head to Live Mode to save.
**Saving while building on an empty lot is not possibleimpossible. The player must head to Edit Town to save.
*When there's a [[Fire]] or if a [[Burglar]] or [[Repo-man]] appears, the Build and Buy Mode icons are no longer grayed out but a dialog appears if the player tries to enter Buy or Build Modes.
