How To Use this Guide

•••
Welcome to The Sims 3 for consoles, including the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. The Sims 3 is a smash hit on the PC, and Electronic
Arts has worked hard to bring that experience to the different consoles, focusing on the strengths of each for the different versions. The Xbox 360
and PlayStation 3 editions of The Sims are identical, save for the differences between achievements and trophies. The Wii version, on the other
hand, is quite a bit different thanks to the introduction of direct control for Sims.
Because of the major differences between the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 editions of The Sims 3 and the Wii edition, we have effectively split
this guide in half. The front of the book is dedicated to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 edition of The Sims 3. The guide for the Wii version is
in the back half of the book, starting on page XX. For each version of The Sims 3, we give you everything you need to help your Sims lead a
happy, fulfilling lives—everything from how to excel at careers to the skinny on the objects you can place in their homes (such as their beneficial
properties) is in here. Our guide also explains the essentials of moving into your new neighborhood, such as furnishing a house, creating unique
Sims, and developing skills. Here’s how we’ve organized all the information for easy reference:

Simology
•••
“The human soul, as part of the movement of life, is endowed with the ability to participate in the uplift, elevation, perfection, and completion.”
-Alfred Adler, founder of Individual Psychology
A Sim is not a puppet; it is a reflection of the id and ego. A Sim is a way for somebody on this side of the screen to discover how they might
act or react to different situations without the actual concerns and consequences of the social contract. When you consider life in Moonlight
Bay through that prism, the narratives you create prove both liberating and exciting. You are about to embark on an adventure with a zillion
possibilities—but potentially no endings.
Now, what you put into your Sim is what you get out of it. If you check in on your Sim now and then, you’ll catch glimpses of an interesting
story. But that’s not why you bought this guide, is it? You want to be at the heart of an engaging narrative starring a fascinating cast. This chapter
details all the different avenues of Sim creation, personality development, and metrics for success. But don’t be surprised when life takes an
unexpected right turn. That’s one thing that holds true on both sides of the screen.

NEGATIVE MOODLETS
Moodlet Effect Duration in Hours Description
Aching Back -20 4 An aching back is quite the nagging problem. A massage would surely help.

Anxious to Advance -15 0 It's been a long time since a promotion has been earned or a skill has been improved... too long!
Bad Night's Sleep -15 6 Sleeping on a cheap bed would make any Sim grumpy.
Bad Reception -10 Variable Cheap television sets don't always provide the most pristine picture.
Betrayed -50 24 Being cheated on is tough to move past. Talking it out with the other Sim would speed the healing

Boring Conversation -5 3 Yawn! Will they ever stop talking?
Buzz Crashed -10 3 Caffeine buzzes wear off eventually, leaving a sad Sim. Walk it off or have another cup!
Can't Stand Art -10 3 One Sim's art is another Sim's garbage. Some Sims just don't appreciate the finer things in life.
Caught After Curfew -15 3 It's so unfair! Why don't parents understand?
Cold Shower -10 3 Freezing jets of water will dull any mood. Perhaps it's time to upgrade the shower...

Moodlet Effect Duration in Hours Description

Epic Fail -10 4 This Sim is a total reject and loser! Most social behavior will be rejected, and she’ll break anything
she touches. And watch out at work; she can get demoted or even fired!
Exhausted -50 0 At this level of sleep deprivation, even the floor looks like a good bed to this Sim.
Failing -40 18 Having to stare at a failing grade on a report card just stings. Homework completion and a good
mood will improve low marks.
Feeling Anxious -15 Variable Neurosis overtakes some Sims with a feeling of anxiety that can only be solved by confronting the
problem head on.
Feeling Unlucky -5 23 Today is NOT Sim's lucky day. Nothing good can come of this.
Filthy Surroundings -30 Lasts until leaving The grime and muck is really starting to pile high. It won't be long before it starts paying rent.
or cleaning
Fired -30 Variable Ouch! Getting thrown out of the workplace never feels good. Time to find a new job...
Grungy -5 Lasts until shower Yuck! That layer of grime growing might mean it's time for a bath or shower.
Heart Broken -50 48 A broken heart is an affliction only time and tears can heal.
Heart Wrenching -60 Lasts until leaving Witnessing a break up is truly heartwrenching. Hopefully the two Sims can reconcile and find new

Humiliated -15 3 Humiliation tends to rear its ugly head just behind the heap of insulting comments.
Hydrophobic -20 Lasts until away There's just too much water for Sim to enjoy this moment.

Insecure -5 2 This Sim is usually pretty confident but something has rattled their cage pretty badly today.

Itchy -15 4 There's just no way to scratch the cursed itch!
Lonely -15 Lasts until Sim Communication is a must for Sims. A quick chat will fix things right away.

Lost a Friend -25 Variable The loss of a friend hurts, but can be easily rectified by giving them a call and rekindling the
friendship.
Missed the -30 24 It's a bad, bad, bad idea to miss the wedding. It takes two to tango and your Sim missed the dance.
Wedding
Missing Work -30 0 Workaholics don't get stressed from working, but from not working.
Mourning -50 48 The death of a loved one affects those closest to them. Sims can mourn at a tombstone or move it to
a graveyard to feel more at peace.
Nauseous -25 2 Sim isn't feeling so hot. You may want to keep her around a bathroom.
Offended -15 3 Offense, when given, will require a healthy dose of time to forgive and forget. Or the dreaded apology.
On Fire -200 1 Contrary to popular belief, being on fire is not healthy and can lead to symptoms including panic,
burns, and death. Best find some water quickly!
Overworked -15 12 All work and no play makes it so that Sim needs to lay off putting in all that extra effort.
Panicked -30 2 Comes from Poltergeists or Quake Maker Karma Powers.
Plagued by Nature -20 0 It's often best for Sims who Hate the Outdoors to spend as little time out there as possible.
Poltergeists! -10 1 Unwelcome, restless spirits bent on revenge can be a real bummer. Comes from Poltergeists Karma
Power.
Really Has To Pee -30 0 The bladder situation has only gone from bad to worse; find a bathroom soon!
Rejected By Ex -20 6 Sims don't like getting rejected, especially by someone who used to like them. Sims will have less luck
socializing while they stew over a rejection.
Rejected First Kiss -10 6 It's sad when a Sim gets rejected for a first kiss. Very sad. A rejected sim needs time to cool off
before their social skills will be back on track.
Rejected Proposal -30 6 It hurts to propose and be rejected. The good news is that Sims can try again as many times as they
like. Of course, each rejection will hurt just as much.
Rude Awakening -10 1 Loud noises and ruckuses will disturb sleeping Sims. Keep those stereos off and the conversations
somewhere else, and don't light the bedroom on fire.
Rude Guest -10 4 Sims don't like it when other Sims are rude, especially houseguests!
Scared -20 2 Scaredy-cats are scared of pretty much everything, but they really show it when their life flashes

Smelly -10 Lasts until shower Sims don't like to stink. More importantly, Sims don't like other Sims that stink.
Sore -10 6 Sims may occasionally feel a little pain, but the results are usually worth it. Sometimes a massage
can help.
Starving -80 0 Allowing Sims to starve is quite cruel! Get Sim some food immediately to avoid an unnecessary death.
Stir Crazy -15 Lasts until leaving Sims should leave the house frequently for sanity's sake. Shake well with a community marinade for best
house results.

a halt!
Stuff Taken -15 24 Sims really like their stuff, and when someone grabs it, they take it quite personally.

Terrified -40 2 Comes from Poltergeists or Quake Maker Karma Powers

Upset -15 3 It's hard to endure the rough patches with those you care about.
Very Hungry -40 0 Gnawing hunger is not a good feeling for Sims. Feed regularly to avoid.
Vile Surroundings -40 Lasts until leaving This room is so fetid and foul. Sims were not meant to endure such a lax household cleaning
or cleaning philosophy!
Virtually Terrified! -25 3 Yikes! That snaggle toothed monster looked far more realistic than expected. Who knew monster
breath would be so...fragrant...in virtual reality.
Wasted Food -5 Variable Don't throw away good food! There are starving children in Strangetown!
Witnessed Betrayal -20 6 Witnessing the romantic betrayal of a loved one is quite devastating.

Wish List
Not every wish is created equal. Some are simple to satisfy, while others require some real time and effort. But just as the wishes themselves have
different requirements, they also have different payouts. Satisfied wishes result in Lifetime Happiness Points and Karma Points, which help pay for the
all-new Karma Powers.
