Question

How do I get a time portal?

Community Answer

You need to get the Sim 3 "Into the Future" expansion pack. Once you have the pack, a portal should appear near your home after a while. Do the quest to fix the portal after interacting with it. Once you have done this, you will be able to use the portal.

Question

My Sim lives in an apartment. I cannot plant and there are no lakes nearby. How can I still earn money, then?

Community Answer

You can invent (ambitions expansion) or paint to make money. Sculpting is also a good idea (ambitions expansion). You can also put your Sim into the woods to search for metals and things to sell. Once you get enough money, leave the apartment and find a proper house for your Sim. More space = more stuff to do = more money!

Question

If I want to go to Future, do I have to fix the portal?

Community Answer

Yes, you do. You only have to collect some of the little time-travel things and the only thing that takes forever is the loading, so it's not that bad.

Question

Is the portal available in Sims 3 without pets?

Community Answer

Yes, the portal is from the "Into the future" expansion pack. Having pets doesn't impact the portal showing up at all.

How do I get a dog without Pets?

Community Answer

Sadly, you can't. However, the "pets" expansion isn't very expensive, or you can possibly find it for free.
