The Sims 3 allows you to immerse your unique Sims in an open living neighborhood right outside their door. The initial feature-set includes the new seamless, open neighborhood, new Create-A-Sim, new realistic personalities and new unlimited customization.

The Sims 3 Deluxe includes The Sims 3 and The Sims 3 Ambitions, a robust expansion pack that allows you to pursue a variety of exciting careers in your Sims’ lives that in turn affect your overall gameplay experience and neighborhood such as Firefighter, Private Investigator, Architecture Designer, Doctor, Ghost Hunter and Stylist.

In The Sims 3, create lifelike Sims with unique personalities and can take them anywhere in the neighborhood. You have more options than ever before to create and play with unique, life-like Sims. Customize your Sims’ appearances and choose traits to create individual personalities. New goal-oriented game-play enables you to choose which short or long-term objectives you want your Sims to pursue. You can choose to make them happy or not! You can also create and edit your own movies by capturing game-play moments or selecting from a library of clips. Then join The Sims 3 online community where you can show off all your creations, get free bonus content, hear the latest news and more!

With The Sims 3 Ambitions, you can take your Sims to work and for the first time, be in charge of how your Sims’ careers progress and decide if they will work for good or evil, pursue creative endeavors or technical affairs, change the town for the better or wreak havoc on everyone’s homes.  In the game, choose to hunt down vengeful spirits as the ghost hunter, invent brilliant and potentially destructive gadgets as an inventor, craft glorious masterpieces as a sculptor, dole out experimental medicine as a doctor, save lives as a firefighter, and solve riveting cases by any means necessary as an investigator with dozens of cases to solve and numerous clues to find. Choices made while playing the new careers and activities such as stylist, architecture designer and tattoo artist directly impact the look and feel of the town and other Sims.

Both titles include the powerful Create-a-Sim tool, which allows you to create Sims that are more realistic than ever. Select from dozens of personality traits such as brave, artistic, kleptomaniac, clumsy, paranoid and romantic. With Create-a-Sim, you can create a limitless number of truly unique Sims.
