They work. They play. They travel. They interact. But your Sims have been trapped within the confines of 2D walls for far too long — and they're just bursting to break free. Now, life simulation is about to get a whole lot livelier. For the first time, the immersive world of The Sims is literally popping out of your screen — in vibrant 3D with your Nintendo 3DS. Throw open the door to new realms of Sims-style fun like never before in The Sims 3. You'll really leave your mark on the Sims world — and it will leave its mark on you — when you implant yourself into the game for the first time. Using your 3DS camera to capture your likeness, transform yourself into your very own Sim and play with life in an all-new way. Pick up your stylus and sculpt your Sims' facial features, style their hair, clothing and determine their personalities — make them evil, hot-headed, neurotic, romantic or a blend of something completely different. Construct the home of your dreams in one of a variety of different zones, and travel to unique destinations to discover new community features and buildable lots. Even trade your Sims with another 3DS owner for an added twist. When you unlock all-new Karma powers, you can bless your Sims with happiness — or make everything go downhill, just by interacting with your handheld. Shake your 3DS to unleash an earthquake, or blow on it to release beautiful butterflies. With the power to control their 3D world, how will you choose to play with your Sims' lives?
