The SIMS
The Sims 3 is a 2009 strategic life simulation computer game developed by The Sims Studio and
published by Electronic Arts. It is the sequel to the best-selling computer game, The Sims 2. It was first
released on June 2, 2009 simultaneously for Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows - both versions on the
same disc.
The Sims 3 is built upon the same concept as its predecessors. Players control their own Sims in
activities and relationships in a similar manner to real life. The game play is open-ended and
indefinite. Sim houses and neighbourhoods are entirely in one continuous map.
The developers stated, "What you do outside your home now matters as much as what you do
within." One of the biggest changes to the franchise is the use of rabbit-holes. Sims aren't allowed to
go inside the majority of city buildings; instead, they simply disappear inside for a certain amount of
time—a feature known in video games as a rabbit-hole—while the player is given very basic choices
on what happens inside without actually seeing it.
