Giving your Sim a wad of virtual cash can give gamers architectural freedom without mods.

A popular computer game franchise where players can construct and live as virtual, gibberish-speaking humans, the Sims has had a large online presence since the first game debuted in 2000. Many players appreciate being able to modify the game's code in order to create new game elements. A number of sites outline how to perform these modifications for The Sims 3. However, before beginning this process, it's important to decide what to create.

  1. People

    • The focus of gameplay in the Sims 3 lies with each avatar, or Sim, that the player controls. Thus, this may be one of the most fun things to modify and create in the game. Those looking to create a unique Sim might try to replicate a favorite movie character or historical figure, or they could try to create a new Sim entirely, using some of the many hair, clothing, and makeup mods already available online.

    Homes

    • Now that you've created a Sim worthy of playing, it's time to turn your attention to his home. This is one element of game play that doesn't necessarily require modifying the game, as every player has the option of playing architect when they begin. However, for home builders looking to avoid limitations based on your Sim's funds, the game designers enabled players to cheat and increase the amount of money available with relative ease. Gamers simply need to hit ctrl+shift+c during game play. Typing the code "Motherlode" into the cheat bar will add another $50,000, allowing players to make a more exciting house.

    Objects

    • While the money cheat may help some players buy any and every object available for sale in the game, that's not enough for other players. Some have already modified and constructed new furniture sets, appliances, and other objects available for download online. Any player willing to invest some time could also try to create new objects not yet available. Fun creations could include replicating expensive or unusual objects that are difficult to attain in real life, such as luxury cars or expensive appliances.

    Decor and Art

    • For the artistically inclined gamer, another fun thing to try to create for The Sims 3 may be replications of real-world decorations and art pieces. Online, Sims 3 art pieces and posters based on real-life pieces already abound, from world-famous paintings to band logos to decorative movie posters that can hang on walls within the game. Replicating similar kinds of art in a new mod might be one of the most challenging but fun things to try to create in this game. Players could even try to create an original art piece that doesn't exist in our world specifically for the Sims 3.
