![]() ![]() Moodlets can be inspired by physical events, such as having a good meal or comfort from sitting in a good chair, as well as emotional events like a first kiss or a break-up.

The developers stated, “What you do outside your home now matters as much as what you do within.” One of the biggest changes to the franchise is the use of rabbit-holes. Sim houses and neighborhoods are entirely in one continuous map. The gameplay is open-ended and indefinite. Players control their own Sims in activities and relationships in a similar manner to real life. The Sims 3 is built upon the same concept as its predecessors.
