[[File:TS3WA Reflect.png|left]]'''''The Sims 3: World Adventures''''' is the first [[expansion pack]] for ''[[The Sims 3]]'' released on 17 November 2009 in Canada, the US, Australia and Asia, the 19th or 20th in Europe, Africa and China for Windows and Macintosh.<ref>[http://news.ea.com/portal/site/ea/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&ndmConfigId=1012492&newsId=20090803005265&newsLang=en The Sims 3 World Adventures press release]</ref> It was the first expansion pack released for ''The Sims 3.''
 
The game is reminiscent of previous expansion packs ''[[The Sims: Vacation]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'' as players can take their Sims away to vacation destinations. theThe three vacation destination sub-neighborhoods in ''World Adventures'' are inspired by real-world countries, though the locations themselves are fictional. In addition to visiting exotic locations, Sims can engage in a number of adventures, make discoveries and explore hidden parts of each sub-neighborhood.

===New neighborhoods===
Sims are able to vacation in new locations: [[Shang Simla]], [[Champs Les Sims]] and [[Al Simhara]]. These new locations are the same size as the neighborhoods of [[Sunset Valley]] and [[Riverview]], and their designs are based on the countries of China, France, and Egypt, respectively. Contrary to common knowledge, police are active in World Adventures neighborhoods; when Sims get robbed in purchased locales, they can call the police, and they come automatically when a [[burglar alarm]] goes off. There is no difference between normal Sim police and World Police.
