The computer game "Sims 4" was released six months ago, but many players are not yet ready to abandon the previous part - "Sims 3". The list of all add-ons developed for the fourth version is limited to one addon and one set. But the "Sims 3" was released eleven additions and nine catalogs. So, what do developers offer us in the third part of this popular game?
"Adventure World"
This addition opens the possibility of traveling abroad. The sim has a choice of three towns: Al-Simara (Egypt), Cham-le-Sim (France) and Shang-Simla (China). In each country of the characters, interesting collectibles and amazing adventures await: the study of tombs, battles with mummies, comprehension of the art of sim-fu fighting and prayer at the Sphinx.
"Career"
The addition includes new careers and expands the list of activities available to the sim during the working day. Separate professions (fireman, stylist, doctor, ghost hunter, detective) allow the player to completely manage the work of his ward and personally observe how the sim works, and not just select items from the meager task list.
"In Twilight"
The only Sims 3 add-on that allows you to live not in private homes, but in high-rise apartments. All the "charms" of apartment living are conveyed with amazing realism. Noise from neighbors, stuck elevators, cramped spaces and a ban on redevelopment - why is it not a harsh reality?
The inconvenience is more than offset by a variety of nightclubs and bars. The working day, by the way, begins with lunch. And the city is teeming with vampires and celebrities!
"All ages"
The characteristic features of each age stage of human life are added. Children can now play pranks and chat with an imaginary friend. Teenagers have parties until the adults are at home, and after graduation they will have a graduation party. Young people start stag and hen parties, and older people suffer from a midlife crisis.
"Pets"
The Sims 3 Pets expansion pack is one of Simmers' favorites. Characters can finally get a cat, a dog, and even a horse. You can take animals from the shelter or pick up the homeless. True, a wild horse will have to be tamed first, but then it will become your best friend.
Even if your Sims do not want to keep animals at home, they probably love ice cream. Therefore, the supplement "Pets Sims 3" should be installed at least for the sake of a wonderful van with a delicious cold treat.
"Show Business"
Send your sim to conquer show business! Perform on stage in parks, clubs and bars. Sing karaoke with friends. Master the profession of a magician. Find the genie and make him fulfill your most cherished desires.
"Supernatural"
"Sims 3: Supernatural" - an addition that allows you to immerse yourself in a mystical and mysterious atmosphere. Your character may become a witch, fairy, or werewolf. Fly on a broomstick, cook potions, travel through the looking glass and use magic wands - the extension has many interesting functions.
Moreover, the life of your wards will now be affected by the lunar cycle. If you play as a human character, it is best not to let him go on night walks during the full moon. At this time, scary zombies roam the city.
"Seasons"
The life simulator must be realistic, and that is what we like about Sims 3. The list of all the additions to the game is impressive, but it would be boring if the weather was always the same outside the windows of the houses in Sunset Valley or Bridgeport. Fortunately, the developers added not only all four seasons, but also weather events - snow, rain and fog.
In addition, Sims can sunbathe and sculpt snowmen. It can be hot or cold. And each season will bring its own characteristic holiday. For example, Autumn Scary Day is suspiciously like Halloween.
"Student life"
If earlier the ability of Sims to master any profession with only a school certificate was perplexing, now this misunderstanding has been corrected. Sims will have to sweat, studying notes, doing laboratory and attending lectures.
Student rewards will serve as rewards for learning difficulties. Have parties with a barrel of juice, shift your homework to your hostel neighbors and run naked around the city! Let the students become the best period of your life!
"Paradise islands"
"Sims 3: Paradise Islands" - an addition that gave the sims the opportunity to fully enjoy the spa life. The characters can also go diving, exploring underwater caves, collecting shells, catching rare fish and talking with mermaids. Just stay away from sharks and kraken!
“Forward to the Future”
The latest addition to the Sims 3 series takes the characters to the city of the future, where they can meet their descendants and see technical achievements that they had only read about in science fiction novels before. There are robots everywhere, smart cars cook their own food and wash dishes, and ground transportation moves without wheels. And only on the behavior of your Sims in the present depends on what future they will fall into. A beautiful Utopia with bright colors and clean streets or a gloomy Anti-Utopia in which meteorites fall every minute - what do you choose?
What are directories?
Speaking of Sims 3, the list of all add-ons would be incomplete without catalogs. These are themed sets of clothes, hairstyles and furniture for your characters. All these items can be done independently, but it’s easier to buy ready-made and tested by the developers for compatibility with the game.
What add-ons for "Sims 3" are free?
This is a paid game, so all the free add-ons for "Sims 3" that you find on the Internet are pirated copies. There is no need to create unnecessary problems in the form of “glitches”, freezes, crashes and bugs, which hacked versions abound.
But on the Web there is a huge amount of free additional content for the game - hairstyles, furniture, houses, clothes. These things are created by ordinary players who engage in this business as a hobby.
These are the features of the Sims 3 add-ons. The list of all additions in the article is compiled in the order they were released.
