EA seems to be following the same path they are with the computer series coming out with [[The Sims 3 World Adventures (Smartphone)|''World Adventures'']], [[The Sims 3 Ambitions (Smartphone)|''Ambitions'']] and [[The Sims 3 Supernatural (Smartphone)|''Supernatural'']]. They are all in someway related to the corresponding expansion packs for the computer.

* Ruth can be based on Grandma Ruthie from ''[[MySims]]'' because she and Ruth have the same looks and their names also match.

*The game featured brief special event images during certain important moments in a sim's life, such as getting a new job, first kiss, and first woohoo. This is reminiscent of the special event camera in ''[[The Sims 2]]''.
