  • The Sims 3...

    ... a new sequel to DrSpikes favorite game


    Link



    The Sims 3 lets you immerse truly unique Sims in an open, living neighborhood just outside their door! The freedom of The Sims 3 will inspire you with endless possibilities and amuse you with unexpected moments of surprise and mischief.

    New Seamless, Open Neighborhood—Explore the neighborhood freely.
    Your Sims can roam throughout their neighborhood, visit neighbors’ homes, and explore the surroundings. They can stroll downtown to hang out with friends, meet someone new at the park, or run into colleagues on the street. If your Sims are in the right place at the right time, who knows what might happen?!

    New Create A Sim—Create any Sim you can imagine.
    New easy-to-use design tools allow for unlimited customization to make truly individual Sims. Determine your Sims’ shape and size, from thin to full-figured to muscular—and everything in between! Choose your Sims’ facial features, their exact skin tone, hair, eye shape and color and select their clothing and accessories.

    New Realistic Personalities—Every Sim is a unique person, with a distinct personality.
    Create realistic Sims with distinctive personalities. Select from dozens of personality traits and combine them in fun ways. The combination of traits you choose—brave, artistic, loner, perfectionist, klepto, romantic, clumsy, paranoid, and much, much more—help shape the behavior of your Sims and how they interact with other Sims. Your Sims can now rise above their basic set of every day needs. They are complex individuals with unique personalities.

    New Unlimited Customization—Everyone can customize everything!
    Build your dream house or design the ultimate home. Customize everything from floors to flowers, shirts to sofas, wallpaper to window shades. It’s fun and easy to change colors and patterns giving you endless personalization options. Or you can populate your Sims’ neighborhood with pre-designed buildings and furnishings. Which of your Sims will live in high-end mansions, cool bachelor pads, ultimate dream homes or low-cost cottage?


    The site is a bit slow (you'll probably end up getting a connection timeout a few times)
    This space is empty... or is it?

      Holy crap! That sounds almost as good as real life!

        What a pathetic game.

          Games for Windows magazine has a big article on Sims 3:


          It actually looks kinda interesting. They have made an effort to reduce the "needs" treadmill, and focused on trying to make it easier for you to be able to craft the kind of story you want. Plus everyone in the neighborhood ages now.

          As a bonus (in the mag, don't know if it is in the online article) there is a little call out article where early on, the devs created several simplistic prototypes. One of them did nothing except have the needs. Apparently, the sims had no choice but to constantly run from the bathroom to the kitchen to the bed. Sounded rather funny when I read it.

              Jesus, haven't they flogged this dead horse enough already. It may as well come back to life just to escape the eternal torture.

                Given how well The Sims continues to do, it looks like not only is the horse not dead, but it's thriving.

                Developers will make games people have said they want to buy. It's why The Sims keeps maing sequels and expansions, while games about, for example, scarred amnesiatics with floating skulls fail.
                It's a CB.

                    Yeah, much as I don't like the games, it's not flogging a dead horse. If anything, EA's sports games are worse - they get marketed like full games each year, and sold for the price of such, while all they do is mostly make small incremental improvements every year.

                          It would have to be an iterative process. First:
                          The Sims : Down and Out (now with bums and crack whores!)

                          then we can move to:
                          The Sims : The Man
                          - no "Needs"
                          - dozens of new "Fears"

                          and finally:
                          The Sims: Takin' It To The Streets
                          - all new careers (Stick Up Kid, Beatdown Master, B&E, Capo, Gang Leader, Rat Fink)

                            Maybe then they could add, I dunno, stealing cars, attacking prostitutes and running from cops. Let's call it The Sims: GTA.

                              Why don't they make an adults only expansion pack for deviates like me who want to see their Sims in their full anatomical glory, and watch them make explicit whoopee. That's the kind of customization I'd like.
