Released on June 2, 2009 join the fun in The Sims 3. The Sims 3 is, like its predecessors, a real-time simulation game where the player controls the lives of one or more people in a family including their work life and social activities. In order to do so, at the start of the game the player creates one or more characters on the character creation screen which has been even more expanded since The Sims 2. Besides more choices in terms of look, clothes, colors and such, the player also chooses five personality traits from a set of 63 sorted in four groups "Mental", "Physical", "Social" and "Lifestyle" as well as a lifetime-goal. The personality traits influence how the Sim reacts to each event in the game. The trait "work-a-holic" for example makes the Sim love to go to work and allows him to use a computer at home to put in additional hours.
