GET INSPIRED!
The Sims™ 3 will inspire you with its endless creative possibilities and amuse you with unexpected
moments of surprise and mischief! Create amazingly unique Sims by customizing their appearances
and choosing specific personality traits. Then build their houses—design everything from an exquisitely
furnished dream home to a rundown seaside shack. Send your Sims out to explore their new neighborhood
and meet other Sims. They can look for a job at the sports stadium, get a massage at the day spa, or meet
a friend for a bite at the local diner. With so much to do, new quick goals like Opportunities, and rewarding
gameplay, The Sims 3 gives you the freedom to choose whether—or not!—to fulfill your Sims’ destinies and
make their wishes come true.
Getting up to Speed
Whether you’re brand-new to The Sims experience or a seasoned player, we recommend that you play
through the tutorial to learn what’s new in The Sims 3. This quick introduction will help you make the
most of all the exciting new features!
You can reset the tutorial from the main menu if you want a refresher later or if you miss something the
first time around. You can also access Lessons from the Options menu to learn more about all of the
features in The Sims 3.
GETTING STARTED
Getting started with The Sims 3 can be as easy as you like. You can jump right into a pre-made family, or
you can choose to customize every aspect of your game by going through a few more steps.
To start a new game:
Choose a neighborhood from the pull-down menu, and then click the checkmark. Your selected
neighborhood loads.
The first time you start the game, you can choose to either CREATE SIMS if you want to make
your own custom Sims, or MOVE IN HOUSEHOLD if you want to move pre-made Sims from the
library into your town and play them.
To see more info on creating custom Sims, see Create A Sim on p. 6.
After completing the tutorial (or opting out of it), you can also CHOOSE A HOUSEHOLD to play with pre-made
Sims who already live in your selected town.
For pre-made households, click one of the blue house buttons to read a description of the household
members and the house and see the difficulty level, the size of their lot, and how many Simoleons they have.
Click the SELECT button to play at the description pop-up to play that household.
NOTE: Once you’ve completed the tutorial, you can also choose an empty lot and build a custom home for
your Sims. For more on building, see Build Mode on p. 22.
Saving and Loading
A single saved game represents your entire town. To save, from the Options menu choose SAVE. Enter a
name for your game and then click the checkmark. You can always start a new game from the main menu.
To load a saved game, go to the main menu and select the saved game that you want to play.
Options
At the Options menu you can change graphics, audio, gameplay, video capture, and music settings. Most of
the options are self-explanatory, but a few are detailed below.
Autonomy Move the slider to the left to decrease autonomy/free will or to the right to increase it. The
more free will Sims have, the more they choose to act on their own if you haven’t assigned
them an action. (Beware, your Sims won’t autonomously perform certain actions, such as
getting a job. You’ll have to direct them to accomplish some things.)
Lifespan Determine how long (barring any unfortunate accidents) your Sim’s life will be by moving the
slider to the desired number of days.
