- For the similar preference system in The Sims 4, see Likes and dislikes.
Favorites are part of a Sim's personality in The Sims 3 and can be set for them in Create-A-Sim. There are three types of favorites: food, music, and color. A Sim's autonomous behavior is mildly affected by their favourites.
Favorites can be changed with the Change of Taste lifetime reward from World Adventures. Favorite music can also be changed with the testingcheatsenabled cheat, but this method cannot be used to change color or food.
Colors[]

Favorite colors serve no purpose other than as a conversation topic amongst Sims.
With The Sims 3: Into the Future, however, favorite colors serve a more useful purpose. Using the sonic shower with the Sim's favorite color will increase their hygiene faster, as well as grant the "Favored Cleansing" moodlet. Consuming a drink from the drink synthesizer that matches a Sim's favorite color will give them the "Favored Drink" moodlet, while drinking the opposing color will give the "It is Revolting" moodlet instead. Colors and their opposites are listed adjacent to each other below.[TS3:ITF]

Food[]

Sims who eat their favorite food will clap and laugh as they eat, and are more likely to autonomously make it. With Late Night or Supernatural, vampires will always favor O-positive plasma, a type of blood in real life. With Island Paradise, Mermaids will always favor Kelp.
Patch 31, with the release of Showtime, introduces new vegetarian and tofu-contained alternatives to existing recipes in the game. Vegetarian Sims can choose these as favourites in place of the non-vegetarian foods.
The game files contain favorite food icons for hot wings, nachos, olive platters, onion rings, shrimp cocktail, and hot and sour soup in the game files, but these are actually not available as chooseable favorites in the game.

Sims listening to their favorite genre of music will get a +40 "Enjoying Music" moodlet, instead of +10. If a Sim is instructed to "Dance" to a stereo, they will change it to their favorite radio station.
Due to a glitch in the game, it was possible for a Sim to have "French" as their favorite music without The Sims 3: World Adventures installed. This is fixed with game update 1.8/2.3. Subsequent expansion or stuff packs will also change a Sim's favorite music from "Custom" to a random station.
