On course to meet its 2009 release, the third incarnation of Will Wright's virtual neighbourhood is revealed...
As promised in a recent website splash page, EA has today revealed the first details on the 2009 scheduled The Sims 3.
Due for release on PC, The Sims 3 is being prepped as the flagship title for Electronic Arts' recently rearranged The Sims label, and will feature extensive customisation options for a player's Sims. Body shape, facial features, skin tone, and a new proprietary 'Realistic Personality System' (allowing for players to mix up to five personality traits in each Sim) are just some of the new abilities open for fans of the life-sim title.
Set in a new open-world neighbourhood filled with amenities and buildings, The Sims 3 is due to include new storytelling techniques thanks to player's Sims meeting up with new acquaintances and social interactions.
"In The Sims 3, Sims can go beyond the boundaries of their home lot, and immerse themselves in an open, living neighbourhood, interacting with other Sims using our new deeper personality system," said Rod Humble, Head of The Sims Studio. "It is this type of open-ended gameplay that inspires endless creative possibilities. In addition the new goals and rewards systems will give players of all kinds from core gamers to storytellers the ability to enjoy long-term gameplay."
"The new engine and technologies in The Sims 3 are designed to unleash the player's imagination with realistic looking Sims who have distinct personalities and a seamless living neighborhood for them to discover," added Ben Bell, Executive Producer on The Sims 3. "Players are going to be thrilled by the level of realism in The Sims 3!"

post799,
the sims3 is better on the pc than the consoles. it has way more content, and it is just much nicer to play with a mouse and keyboard.
this is pretty much the only game i'd recommend the pc for rather than consoles though haha.

I am extremely surprised taht EA Games allowed for this to hit the selves in the poor condition that it is in................I have not heard one person speak of anything good ......everyone seems to be experiencing the same problems.....never mind all the stupid glitches of sims who can't work or get stuck in walls and dirty dishes showing up at random places........refirdgerators not being accessable............even my neighbours refridgerator was not working people starving and dropping dead everywhere........once you get to third generation the wii simpley freezes any time that you try to save it.....you can't build anything as it keeps telling you that it is a fire hazard (why give us the option then)..... then my wii stop reading the disk all together........... and now EA games isn't even taking any responsibilty for this.............. they should send out a recall before people run out to buy it as a gift for their loved ones who obviously will be extremely dissapointed........... They are ignoring the issue now just so they can still make money from the christmas rush which is pretty low on their part........... many parents don't have the income to buy stuff like this often and to save money to buy something that doesn't work and obviously EA games must know about the ongoing issues is pretty low on their part............... boo!!!!! :( to EA games on rushing out a product without properly testing it on the appropriate platforms...............

I have had nothing but problems with the sims 3 for wii
there are so many glitches that its frustrating to play, which sucks cause the sims is so fun.
i cant buy ANYTHING because it says my free space is full and its a fire hazord..
so i sold everything i owned even my HOUSE. to clear my free space. and i still can not do anything.
random dirty dishes pop up on in random places so then i cant use the item that its placed by.
(like the fridge. you cant open it, sell, or delete it. so you have to have more than one fridge after it happens.)
my sims turn invisible sometimes and i can see their thought bubbles but i can see their bodies.
my sim walked passed a trash can and got stuck in it haha.
its seriously mind boggling that there are so many problems. and i have read many sites that have reviews and a lot of them have the exact same problems i have..
its almost like EA had a deadline to be done by and they didnt reach it so they just put it on the shelves anyway unfinished.
i definitly reccoment waiting to see if they recall it or just get it for the PC.... cause it sucks.
