Despite the somewhat impressive sales of its predecessor, Electronic Arts is worried. Do you know what The Sims 3 is? Do you really?

To answer the question for us, the publisher recruited the top minds in the field of Sims 3 knowledge: the developers of The Sims 3. And as it turns out, it has something to do with houses.

Maxis' The Sims 3 is due for a PC release on February 20, 2009.

For me it doesnt seem like their trying alot harder to improve this version round. WOW it has better customisation, WOW you can assign traits, WOW they used a lamer version of mo cap. It just seems like theyre not trying to really push it. personally i would really like them to get my sims to speak english and come up with some amazing thing that actually lets them interact properly with each other and not by little thought bubbles. If they did that i would be sold just because of the effort and technology involved.

I don't care what anyone else thinks.

I likle the sims.

I have since I was a child.
Building Houses, Making sims, downloading things from infected websites.

I just think it will be fun.

But, I have already prolly spent 400 dollars on all the sims 2 stuff
and it started messing up. So it was sorta of a waste.

I know I'm most likey going to buy this game...
MAYBE... It will not mess up, plus it looks like they
are noticing the things the sims have always should
of had.

Looks boring as shit.

WTF is the point of this game besides finding creative ways of griefing your sims?

Maybe I just don't "get" these games...

I want this game now! The Sim creation just blows away Sims & Sims 2. Should be able to create a more accurate similation.

For example, now you can create the 3 Stooges, you get 2 sims that kinda sort look like 2 of the stooges and nothing that looks like Curly. Then you can assign them traits but they all act basically the same. In Sims 3 we should be able to make Sims that look and act like the Stooges.
