The events of the game work as a prequel to the previous parts of the series because you can meet some of the sims that have already died or got old in the first and second parts. However, you will meet some new characters as well.
In this game you have a large amount of families – twenty-six – and some of the characters come from the previous parts of the game. The Sims 3 is a user-generated universe, where you play in a so-called digital sandbox and arrange the lives of different characters that are also created by you. The third part might be one of the most successful one in this franchise.
