What's the next Sims 3 stuff pack?

2012-03-24T13:24:00.000-07:00

So, we must now be nearing the announcement of the next Sims 3 stuff pack. There were recently rumors about a new stuff pack featuring Katy Perry sweet treats, but this isn't confirmed and to be honest I think is fabricated. The reason why I think it's fabricated is because today, thesims3.com put up a selection of stuff packs for us fans to vote on including:

Storytelling Stuff
Sports Stuff
Party Stuff
Teen Stuff
Decades Stuff

These are in more detail here, and you can vote on which one you like on that same page at this link. There's no sign of Katy Perry at all anywhere, which is good or bad news depending on which way you look at it.
The post was by Jennifer Lane who is well known on Sims 3 forums so this isn't fake. So, personally I would go for Storytelling Stuff, but what would you pick?

New SimCity to be released next year!

2012-03-17T02:55:00.000-07:00

The famous Simcity series is returning sometime next year with tons of new features and a whole new graphics engine. The cities will be more diverse, look more realistic and have a more realistic feel to gameplay. Some of you may have already heard of Cities XL which sort of died of death when Monte Cristo got taken over by Focus Home Interactive and the game sightly improved, however simcity looks to rock their boats when this is released next year. The new multiplayer feature will bring a whole new element to the game. Maxis and EA hope to entice new players to the city builder genre of games with this game, so it definitely will be user friendly for the newbies to the game, and of course existing fans will have all the fun of the past games in the series.

Take a look at the new trailer here.

Will you boycott The Sims 3?

2012-01-08T03:04:00.000-08:00

Screenshot of the Facebook event page.

A new Facebook event page called 'Boycott The Sims 3' had been created by a user and aims to protest against EA's way of trying to force us to buy things through the store and in the game with expensive simpoints and just not giving us great expansion packs like they used to. This event has also been made up because of gameplay being turned more into goal related gameplay and actually getting away from the Sims game altogether changing gameplay.

Some people are obviously not that hot on the new Showtime expansion as most people say it's like Late Night number 2. Personally, I think everyone will be proven wrong and it will be great.

I won't be joining this even that happens on 18th February, but if you feel strongly with this group then feel free to join and help make your voice heard.
