The Sims 3 was released by Electronic Arts in 2009. It has an open, seamless neighbourhood, updated Sim creation tools, improved build and buy mode capabilities, and the addition of wishes and objectives. The first Game of the Series, The Sims (2000), was developed by Maxi and released in 2000. The Game is set twenty-five years before the original Game. The Game pioneered a new style of directed gameplay by presenting the player with choices to pursue or reject minor, incremental goals. The sixth DLC pack for The Sims 3 is titled "Showtime." It is a Life Simulation Game released in 2012. The Sims: Superstar and The Sims 3: Late Night shares a similar stardom and career premise with this Game, which also borrows elements from The Sims: House Party and The Sims 2: Nightlife. Start Playing The Sims 3 today.
