[[File:TS3G Reflect.png|left]] '''''The Sims 3: Generations''''' is the 4thfourth [[expansion pack]] for ''[[The Sims 3]]''.<ref name="Confirmation">[http://news.ea.com/portal/site/ea/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20110405005700&newsLang=en EA News Generations Press Release]</ref> The game was released on May 31, 2011. It contains elements of ''[[The Sims 2: Celebration Stuff]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff]]'', ''[[The Sims: House Party]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: Teen Style Stuff]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'', and ''[[The Sims 2: University]]''.
 
Each life phase has a theme. For children, imagination and make-believe are key themes. For teens, rebellious, chaotic scenes such as parties and pranks are an addition. As a young adult and adult, the focus is on their relationships with others, from getting married to having children of their own. Elders get to enjoy their time reminiscing about the golden years and the joys of watching their grandchildren grow up. There are also now 5 schools (including Military school, Prep School and Art School) for Children and Teenagers to go to.

A trailer, which later turned out to be legitimate, was leaked on March 11, 2011 from The Sims 3's official twitter and Facebook. The trailer was leaked along with a trailer for a then-unconfirmed expansion pack, "Unleashed" (later confirmed as ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]''). Features shown in the trailer include tree houses, on-the-ground water slides, spiral staircases, mid-life crisis, family videos and pranks. On April 5, 2011, EA confirmed the rumors with a press release, followed by an official release of the trailer.
