Fans of the series will be familiar with the interface – issuing specific orders to your Sims based off their needs, which is displayed via a “Moodlet” icon. Such needs range from “I need to use the bathroom” to “I’m hungry” and even “I’m bored”.

New to the series is the “karma” system. This can drastically change the game for the better, or for the worse. One example shown was shaking the Nintendo 3DS a little makes money fall from the sky. If, however, you shake the console too much a devastating earthquake will all but ruin your Sims lives!

Using the Nintendo 3DS camera, sim making is easy. The software is similar to the “Mii Creation” app on the device – simply take a picture of yourself and the game makes a Sim character that looks just like you.
