Neighborhood: - Seamless Nhood: Your Sim can visit neighbors, parks and shops without a loading screen. - All the neighboring Sims will live their life and age simultaniously as your Sim (They'll get married, get jobs,etc). - The game will ship with 1 Neighborhood. - Several weeks after the launch, there will be a tool available to create your own Nhoods. - That Nhood will consist of about 97 different lots. - When the game is out, you can download towns, made by other people. - All buildings in the Nhood can be interacted with, so no prop buildings. - Confirmed community places are: Pool, Park, Bistro, Clothing store, City Hall and Bookstore. - The Nhood can expand by users and/or by expansionpacks. - You can zoom out to see the whole Nhood at once or zoom in to a single Sim. - You can move a house to a bigger lot. Sims: - The 4 needs are: Bed, Toilet, Entertainment, Food. - Sims 3 have Traits. Choose 5 from around 80 types like Dreamer, Evil, Playful, etc. These Traits will affect how a Sim behaves towards others and affects their moods, like the mood of an Outdoorsperson will raise when he/she is outside. An evil Sim may slap another Sim. Toddler: 2 traits, Child: 3 traits, Teens: 4 traits, Young adult and older: 5 traits. - Traits could be passed down, and actions a Sim does during her pregnancy will affect the traits of her offspring. - Moodlets instead of a moodbar. If something happens like a marriage, the Sim gets a moodlet. These moodlets will affect your Sims' mood and give abilities like learning faster. An example: Getting fired will get you a long lasting, big impact moodlet, while going to a small party will get them a short, non-dramatic moodlet. - They will look after themselves better. - Hair will not grow but you can 'paint' certain parts of the hair. - Sims have certain skills like cooking or fishing. - You can fulfil needs by simply clicking on an icon. - Instead of fixed interaction (like Talk or Joke), the options are filtered on your current Mood or your Traits. - Sims can aquire Dreams. Like if your Sim sees that a Neigbor has a big tv, your Sim can get a Dream to want one too. You decide then, to turn it into a Promise. Ignoring a Dream is ok, but ignoring a Promise gives you negative repercussions. - There is no gradual aging, but there are age groups as in Sims 2. - There will be 7 age groups: Baby, Toddler, Child, Teenager, Young adult, Adult, Elder. - Athletic skills can help Sims stay fitter and even live longer. Careers/Jobs: - You can follow your Sim in its car to work. You won't see your Sim working though; He/She will disapear in the building. - Every career has its own building in the Nhood. - Advancing in career is changed as it depends on skills, personality, relationship with colleagues/boss and even certain goals that has to be fulfilled. For example taking work home. - Confirmed careers are Chef, Science and Military. - Sims can take part-time jobs. - Besided the newspaper, you can also apply for a job at the specific careerbuilding. - You can decide how hard they work; Like choose a less stressful day but gain less skill. CAS: - Body can be shaped as faces were in Sims 2. - There are sliders for weight and fitness. - Arm and legs are seperate so you can have a fat body and thin arms. - Sims you created fat, can become thin by exersizing, thin created people get fat by eating a lot. - You can choose specific Asian and African models. - You can choose a Sims' favorite color, music type, food, etc. - Shoes are seperate and can also choose barefoot. - Clothes are customizable from CAS; Change the color of a certain piece of clothes or use your own patterns. - Different Sims height is not in the game yet and unsure if it will reach the full game.
