LIFE STAGES AND AGING

Unless you opt to turn off aging (in the Options menu), all of your Sims will pass through several life stages

(depending, of course, on how old they are when they start off). You now also have the power to decide

when your Sims are ready for the next age category. Ready for your child to become a teen? Purchase a

birthday cake and throw a party! A longer childhood increases your chances of being able to choose the

traits for your Sim, but if you’re ready to move on, go right ahead.

Baby This time seems to fly past, making some Sims wistful for their little ones’ early cuddly

years. Other Sims are thrilled when their tykes advance beyond simply eating and soiling

their diapers.

Toddler These little ones are able to play their way into learning new skills, but still require a fair

amount of care-taking from their parents.

Child The school years are a time for children to make friends, learn skills, and develop

personalities. Keep their grades high to reap all of the benefits of these years.

Teen Young Sims start truly asserting their independence and may even fall in love for the first time.

Teens can also get part-time jobs to get a jump on their careers—and earn a few Simoleons.

Young Adult These Sims are ready to conquer the world. Some of them may be looking to climb their

way up the career ladder, move in with a loved one, or just strike out on their own to see

what the world has to offer.

Adult Sims at this life stage may be focused on starting families or aggressively advancing their

careers or other life passions.

Elder The twilight years are a good time for Sims to pass on their wisdom to younger Sims and to

take it easy, explore new hobbies, and indulge in their favorite pastimes. Elders also have

the option to retire from their career and earn a pension.

Family Trees

Sims not only pass on their appearances (mom’s eye and hair color, the exact shape of dad’s nose) to their

offspring, but they can also pass on traits when traits are randomly determined. You can view your Sim’s

family tree at the Simology tab of the Sim Panels.

What to Expect When Your Sim

Is Expecting

Pregnancy can take its toll on Sims, so make sure these ladies get plenty of rest and nutritious food. They may

also experience some nausea and the need to visit the bathroom more frequently. But a happy pregnancy is

not only good for keeping mom in better spirits, it also benefits the baby, so take care of your expecting Sims.

Keeping mom’s mood high, reading pregnancy books, and asking a doctor for advice helps make the pregnancy

a happy one.

TIP: A soothing massage can help ease those back pains, so if your Sim has a special someone who can

provide some TLC, both mom and baby will be the better for it.

Sims looking to adopt can use the phone to call the adoption service, and can choose whether to adopt a boy or

a girl. You can choose the age as well–from babies, toddlers, and children. The adoption service is free, too!

‘Til Death Do You Part

Sims are mortal and one thing is certain: they will eventually die (unless you turn aging off). If a Sim is

fortunate enough to live to an advanced age, eventually they die a natural death. But some Sims meet with

unfortunate accidents and can expire seemingly before their time. Beware of fires, drowning, starvation, and

electrocution as all of these can end your Sim’s days prematurely.

But the death of a Sim doesn’t have to be the end of your town. Your surviving Sims will carry on, and will

mourn the passing of their loved one. And even if the last Sim in your household dies, you can still go to Edit

Town and choose a new household to play with.

BUY MODE

This is the place to purchase stuff to make your Sim’s life a little bit better. Whether you need to buy some

no-frills essentials or are looking to splurge on some luxury goods, you can find it all here.

NOTE: For some items, such as books and food, your Sim needs to head to the shops downtown to get

what they need.

Sorts

You can view items in the Buy Mode catalog by room or by function. You can also view items in the

household inventory.

By Room

When you view items by room, you see an iconic representation of the types of items usually found in the

room you select. Click any of the items to view that type of item. For instance, in the living room you can

click the sofa to see sofas and loveseats, or click the painting to see paintings and posters.

By Function

This sort lets you take a look at items based on a need that you want to address. Maybe you need a

comfortable place for your Sim to relax. So you click the Comfort filter. If you’re looking for a place to stow

all of your Sim’s new books from their shopping spree, click the storage category.

Object Placement Rules and Options

The Sims 3 gives you more freedom to build, decorate, and furnish as you want. Use the new grid tool and

the ability to position furniture at angles to get just the right look.

Grid On/Off

You can opt to show a grid when you’re in Build or Buy Mode that helps guide you about where to place

objects. This allows you to center items better than ever, so you can position the TV across from the center

of the sofa, a painting in between two windows, and more.

A New Slant on Furnishing

You can also place furniture and other objects at angles to give your room a more pleasing appearance. So if

you want to place two chairs angled towards each other or position a plant in a corner—have at it.

NOTE: When you use free-form object placement and free-form object rotation Sims are more likely to

walk into objects or to be unable to reach a speciﬁc place or object. Be careful to leave enough space for

Sims to move around.

Furnished and Unfurnished Homes

When you choose a house for your Sims to buy from Town View, you have the option of purchasing it

FURNISHED or UNFURNISHED.

Unfurnished homes come with only the basics, such as plumbing (bathroom and kitchen), counters,

cabinets, and a fridge. Furnished homes cost a bit more, but feature more amenities.

The Bare Necessities

The items below are necessities that every home should have. You don’t have to get the highest quality, but

without at least a basic model for each of these, your Sim’s life will be more than miserable.
