🚨 Introducing Social Classes for The Sims 3! 🚨

Ever wondered what it would be like to manage not just a Sim, but an entire community? My new mod reimagines the old Social Groups and Fame systems, turning them into Social Classes that influence habits, relationships, and choices across the city.

From Class-based behaviors and prestige tracking to new autonomy logic and unique wishes, this mod adds depth and emergent gameplay to your Sims’ lives.

💡 Dive in, explore how environment and personality shape your Sims, and see society come alive in ways you’ve never experienced before.

🌟 Social Classes Mod – We Want Your Opinion! 🌟

I’m back with a huge idea for The Sims 3, and I need your help shaping it! We’re working on a Social Classes mod – but it’s not just about words or labels: classes will show up in Sims’ behavior and the choices they make!

Check out my latest post to understand the idea behind it and how I plan to implement it without relying on scripts (a small and tricky challenge, but equally powerful).

I’d love to hear your opinion – which approach do you find more interesting?

💬 Comment with ideas, suggestions, or examples of how you’d like to see your Sims interact with objects from each class!

Building Social Classes in The Sims 3 – Community Feedback Needed 🧭

I’ve been working on something ambitious for The Sims 3: a Social Classes Mod based on behavioral depth and consistent patterns of interaction. Instead of just adding cosmetic labels, the goal here is to bring meaningful personality and social identity into gameplay.

To do that, I divided society into 3 main classes, each with 3 unique subcultures, inspired by the energy and style of The Urbz: Sims in the City:

Each subculture will: ✅ Prefer specific locations ✅ Avoid other types of places ✅ Show distinct behavioral tendencies ✅ Develop social friction with rival groups

This mod is being built with ITUN/XML logic, meaning it reinterprets and expands behaviors already in the game. It doesn’t add traits – it gives new meaning to how Sims act.

I need your opinion 🎯

I created a spreadsheet organizing all subcultures, traits, and their preferred locations, and before moving forward I want your feedback. This is a community-built system, and your perspective will help shape its direction.

👉 I just opened a short survey to collect your thoughts. If you’re into behavioral simulation, immersive gameplay, or ambitious modding projects, I’d love to hear from you.

Where the foxes choose to roam

Was their home

And many others’

Long before your mansion went up

They have no time to worry

About the constant value

Of all you own

They intend to survive

And thrive

On this planet; Mother Earth

Now if you paid any mind

To how they live

You might learn a thing or two

Buckle up buckaroo

This isn’t the place for you

a. This website is written by The Lost Colony, a symphonic drama produced by the Roanoke Island Historical Association, “a non-profit whose mission is to celebrate the history of the first English colonies on Roanoke Island, North Carolina.” On the site, there is a page with brief descriptions of each of the Elizabethan Era social classes. They note “The Elizabethan period in England had daily life based on social order…the queen was believed to be God’s representation here on earth.”

 b. Reading this resource, it astounded me how many social classes were present in Elizabethan society – I was unaware that there were so many different social classes – from the nobility to laborers there were five classes total. Furthermore, I knew that the social order was structured, but I did not realize the extent to which rules and regulations controlled each tier of the social hierarchy. Parliament controlled the types of clothes worn by each class and there were actual laws in place, sumptuary laws, whose purpose was to ensure that class distinction based on food, drink etc. was maintained.

 c. This resource addresses the social order of the Elizabethan Era and gives more detail to the specific classes as well as the duties and freedoms allocated to those classes. This is useful to know both when comparing Elizabethan society to the social order of the Roman Republic as well as for when discussing the actual audiences at Shakespeare’s plays and how social structure was honored even in the Globe Theatre.
