How many GB is The Sims 3?

6.5 GB

That makes it bigger than 65% of Role-playing (RPG) games we have measured.

The median Role-playing (RPG) game needs 3 GB; the largest tenth start at 30 GB.

Leave at least 13 GB free: games need headroom to unpack updates.

The figure is the storage Steam lists as required for this game, not a measured download.

In The Sims 3, you can create Sims with unique personalities, fulfill their desires, and control their lives within a customizable living neighborhood. Unlock all-new Karma Powers and unleash them on your Sims: help your Sim get lucky with the power of "love connector", bless them with the power of "age defiler" or "instant beauty" or curse them with an "instant enemy". Use these powers wisely, because they may have unexpected results! As you guide your Sims through life, you can complete challenges to unlock additional items, new buildings and landmarks.
