The Sims 3 is a real-time simulation game where the player controls the lives of one or more people in a family, including their work life and social activities. In order to do so, at the start of the game the player creates one or more characters on the character creation screen, which has been expanded since The Sims 2 . The player also chooses five personality traits from a set of 63, sorted in four groups "Mental", "Physical", "Social" and "Lifestyle", as well as a lifetime-goal. The personality traits influence how the Sim reacts to each event in the game.
The lifetime goal is similar to wishes but requires a lot of work to get to. While granting wishes can be as simple as ordering a pizza, one lifetime goal requires the player to make their Sim a CEO of a big corporation, which cannot be done overnight. As a compensation, the fulfilling of a lifetime goal grants the player a very large amount of lifetime points, which are used to buy numerous forms of relief including the ability to make the Sim immune to hunger.
The Sims 3 simulates a full city where the player's Sim is free to move around and do what they want, including working and socializing. The game isn't limited to the property a Sim owns, with loading times in-between traveling to other places like family retreats. Instead, the player can explore a full city, buy groceries or books, and visit classes to further advance their personal skills.
The gameplay is focused on creating a life for the Sim, including managing their needs, relationships, and career. The player's choices and actions influence the Sim's happiness, job performance, and overall well-being. With the money earned during the game, the player can buy or build a house, decorate it with various items, and even go fishing or collect rare stones.
The console versions of The Sims 3 introduce karma powers, where players receive godlike powers to influence the life of their Sims for better or worse.
