1. EA Announces World Adventures

Written on Monday 3 August 2009 at 20:37 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Today EA has announced the first expansion for The Sims 3. Coming in the week of 16 November is World Adventures, in which Sims will leave Sunset Valley or Riverview to explore new grounds. The Sims' General Manager Scott Evans makes a big promise by saying it is one of the most robust expansion packs for the Sims series yet. Similar to Vacation (Sims 1) and Bon Voyage (Sims 2), there will be three locations to travel to: China, France and Egypt. Sims will be able to explore culture, chase down opportunities and search for treasure. The game will ship with 1,000 Simpoints for the Sims Store. In 2010 the game will also be released for iPhone and iPod Touch. Read on for the full press release, or check the pictures below by clicking the thumbnails. Read More!

2. TS3 Online features officially announced

Written on Thursday 30 April 2009 at 15:37 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Although not really new, EA has issued a press release today about the online features of The Sims 3. A Sims 3 store where you can purchase new items, similar to the Sims 2 store, will be launched with the game. The game itself will ship with $10 credit for that store, good for 1000 Simpoints. Afterwards credit can be purchased in batches of 200, 500 or 1000 points. The launcher of the game will use the Internet to promote the official website, showing news and information, the store, promotions and more. The official site will be relaunched and become the full hub for sharing items, stories et cetera of the Sims 3. Major part is the video creation tool. You can take videos from within the game, and edit them online, similar to the (closing down) Sims on Stage. The best news from all this is that a second neighborhood, Riverview, will be available for download from the website at the launch of the game, 2 June on PC, Mac and iPhone. Read on for the full press release. Read More!

3. Castaway Videos

Written on Wednesday 17 October 2007 at 00:21 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

It's not new that before the release of a Sims game EA publishes producer walkthrough videos. The Sims 2 Castaway is no exception, as videos have been posted for the Wii and DS versions. In the first, senior producer Ben Bell guides you through the basics of the game, in which a group of Sims gets shipwrecked on a deserted island. You start off by creating your crew of Sims. A tropical storm will separate the Sims, without anything available. As you reunite your crew, all Sims will become playable. The crafting system allows you to create anything necessary to build up your Sims' settlement. You'll also notice that the island has exotic wildlife living on it, which can help Sims in gathering resources and more. The video also gives some hints to some of the world-changing secrets on the island. In fact, it may be possible to leave the island, or stay where you are. As repeated many times in the movie, it's you who decides about how the story goes.

The DS walkthrough, again with Ben Bell and many of the same words. The game has three islands to discover, exploring its fauna, and in the end returning to civilization. The time of day will change, and there's weather as well. Interacting is done with just tapping the screen with the pen. You'll need to gather food from the sea or bugs from under rocks, through mini games. The fishing game is discussed more in-depth. Trading items with other castaways is also a possibility. Much like the Sims 2 on DS, you can paint or make music again as well, using the touch screen and the microphone. A hidden pirate ship, which you can find through hidden pieces of a map on the islands, will eventually lead you to escape. All Castaway games, excluding Castaway Stories, will be released this fall. The Castaway videos page has both videos in high and low quality.

6. Pets Coming for Wii

Written on Wednesday 2 May 2007 at 19:57 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

After last year's release of Pets for various platforms, including Nintendo's GameCube and DS already, the game is now also coming to the Wii. Expected in June, the game will be similar to the other console versions (PlayStation 2, GameCube and PSP) of the Sims 2 Pets. The only main difference will be that it's easier to control with the Wii controllers: you can just point and click to direct Sims, grab walls and furniture and place them around, all using the Nunchuck and the Wii remote. Information is available on the product page, where you can also find a slightly new trailer for the Wii version.

7. "Bon Voyage" Next Expansion?

Written on Wednesday 2 May 2007 at 19:57 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

As you should expect, Seasons isn't the last expansion pack for the Sims 2. Nevertheless the topic for the sixth expansion has not yet been known until recently, when according to SnootySims BBS member ecaguimbalu found a PC release title for September at VideoEta.com. The site focuses mainly on DVDs and movies, so the reliability of the release date can be questioned as there are no details as to where the information comes from, presumably from the publisher (EA). The site claims the expansion will be called "Bon Voyage". Online shop Buy.com also has the game in their catalog for the price of an expansion pack and a release date in early September. Confirmation from EA or Maxis about the next expansion pack is still pending, but of course we'll keep you up-to-date with all the latest news.
