The Sims series has long won the love of gamers and critics alike. It is currently the most popular life simulator in the gaming industry. If desired, the player can create almost any life for a Sim, from a rich and happy character to a loser who cannot pay the bills.
The Sims 3 has rightfully become one of the most successful games in the series, because only it has a unique open world.
World adventures
World Adventure was the very first expansion pack for The Sims 3 to go on sale in 2009. There were similar additions in the previous parts of the series. Despite this, "World of Adventures" brought a lot of new things.
With the addition, three new cities appeared at once: Al-Simara, Sham le Sim and Shang-Simla. All new locations are references to real-life places: Al-Simara to Egypt, Cham le Sima to France, and Shang-Simla to China. You can't live in new cities, because they are created exclusively for travel, but these places are no less in size than the cities where you can populate Sims.
Also, "World of Adventures" added a new supernatural creature to the game - a mummy. And a new possibility of death appeared, which turned out to be also associated with mummies - death by curse. This can happen if your character disturbs the mummy in the tomb and cannot escape from it.
In addition, with this addition, new skills have appeared in the game: photography, martial arts and nectar making.
If your Sim visits one of the new cities, they will be able to taste new dishes and even learn how to cook them. All new food with a national flavor.
Ambitions
This add-on may resemble The Sims 2: Business, but the Sim 3 career looks a lot more stripped down.
Many players have dreamed that The Sims will be able to observe how the character works. In "ambitions" this dream came true, but not everyone liked the "open" professions.
Along with this addition, a new city appeared called Twinbrook.
If you've purchased Ambitions, your Sims can learn three new skills: Invention, Sculpting, and Tattoo.
New professions: designer, stylist, firefighter, detective and ghost hunter. In addition, many old professions have new opportunities.
Late night
This add-on may remind you of the "nightlife" of The Sims 2, but despite the similarities, The Sims 3 brings new possibilities.
With the addition of "at dusk", vampires appeared, which many managed to fall in love with. In The Sims 3, they are not immortal, but they live much more than human characters.
Also, the creators of the game added a new city - Bridgeport, thanks to which your Sim can live in an apartment.
With this add-on, Sims can learn how to mix drinks and play different instruments.
Generations
All Ages is the most human expansion for The Sims 3. With this expansion, there are many new features that affect interactions between characters. For example, children are scolded by their parents for poor grades in school, teenagers run away from home, and older characters recall their youth. Also, teenagers can go to graduation from school.
With "Generations" there are new moodlets and a variety of items that make Sims' lives more similar to ours.
Pets
Release date: October 18, 2011. With this addition, Sims now have the opportunity to have a pet: a cat, dog, horse, bird, or lizard. Each pet is unique!
Showtime
If you purchased a disc with this add-on, you can create real celebrities: singers, magicians and acrobats. Professions are open, so you can observe the character.
The official add-on will update your game with a new city - Starlight Shores.
With the help of a symport, you can send your artists on tour to the cities of friends and receive an additional reward for this.
Supernatural
"Supernatural" was created especially for those who are tired of playing with humans and vampires. Now witches, werewolves and fairies are at your service!
This catalog will add the mysterious city of Moonlight Falls to the game.
The game now has moon phases. During the full moon, werewolves cannot control themselves, and zombies roam the cities to eat plants and infect other characters.
Seasons
Tired of Sims having an eternal summer? The Seasons will change that. Now your characters will be able to feel all the delights of winter, summer, autumn and spring.
There are also new holidays that correspond to each season.
With this add-on, Sims can overheat, get caught in the rain, freeze, or get allergic to bloom.
When The Seasons came out, Sims' lives became a little more real.
University Life
Your Sims can now go to college. It is necessary to choose the faculty wisely, because it will affect the future of the character. After a character receives a diploma, he will be able to start working from a higher level in the field in which he has education.
Student Life added the phenomenon of social groups: nerds, rebels, and athletes. Members of each group have unique opportunities for interaction. For example, nerds like to read and discuss comics, while rebels like to rummage through trash and throw plants on fires.
If a Sim has gained the trust of one of the social groups, then he may be offered one of three new jobs. The character can now work as a sports agent, art appraiser, or developer.
Island paradise
With this catalog, a sim can become a navigator, a resort owner, or just a beach lover.
A new type of housing has also appeared - a houseboat, which is available in the new city of Isla Paradiso.
With the Island Paradise add-on, Sims can work as beach lifeguards, dive to observe the underwater world, find treasures, and even meet mermaids.
Into the Future
Forward to the Future is the latest expansion for The Sims 3. Through the Portal, your Sims can travel to the future and meet their descendants.
Depending on the decisions made, the future can change from utopia to dystopia.
With this add-on, Sims can learn to build bots that, once created, become playable characters. Bot building is a difficult skill, so he will have to devote a lot of playing time.
What's the best addition?
It all depends on your preference, but the most fun to play sims 3 if all addons are installed. To get acquainted with the game, you can install the anthology or download add-ons from the official site. But it is better not to use a pirate Sims, because it is important to observe copyright.
How to make the game more interesting
Sometimes there are too few standard things for building or creating a character. Then you will be helped by additional content and unofficial add-ons created by the players. You can find them on many fan sites. For example, on tsr.
If you have a licensed version of the game, then additional sims 3 can be found in The SIms 3 store. You can also create additional content yourself, and numerous master classes that can be found on youtube will help with this.
Tired of playing the same scenario? Challenges will come to the rescue! Come up with rules by which you will play or look for them from others. Such a game will be remembered for a long time and will help you to look at the sims in a new way.
The Sims 3 Secrets
The game has hidden character traits that the player cannot see. They appear if the character is born from a resident of one of the cities that appeared in the "World of Adventures". Such a sim will sing national songs in the shower.
Some parts of the Sims have added hidden locations to the game. Finding them can be tricky, but it's worth it.
