As we’ve come to expect, The Sims 3 boasts some improved features over its predecessor. An expanded wardrobe and the introduction of sliders in Create a Sim provide a greater level of control over your sims’ physical appearance and voice. Personality points have been replaced with a new Traits system, which determines a sim’s character qualities and behaviour, as well as a selection of suitable life goals. Once you’ve finished setting up your household it’s time to learn how to run it.
