Nog meer weetjes van de Sims 3 UK event
Honeynutcows heeft in dit topic op het Sims 2 Community Forum haar ervaringen opgeschreven van 2 uur lang Sims 3 spelen. Hier enkele quotes:Social interactions are grand (if some a little silly) as my sim was a bookworm and a hopeless romantic he had around 20 extra social interactions, most of them for the romantic trait but also things like talk about books. I also found when I played another sim, that learned skills carry social options… for example a sporty military sim had the option to salute and to express her need for exercise
Watching Sims travel was great (although when your Sims on a bike expect them to cycle straight through people and cars ) and a journey from one side of town to the other is super quick thanks to grand theft auto style driving.

In ieder geval hebben ze een voor mij nieuwe screen:
Sims 3 Trial Party in Taiwan
Onze linkpartner My Sims World meldt dat er in Taiwan een Sims 3 Trial Party is geweest. Ze hebben er uitgebreid verslag van gedaan en wat screens online gezet van Sims 3 CAS en de online features en wat leuke Sims 3 goodies.
The Sims Hub over Sims 3 UK event
Onze nieuwe linkpartner The Sims Hub heeft een 4 pagina’s groot verslag online gezet van het Sims 3 UK event, later zal er nog een pagina online komen met antwoorden op allerlei vragen over Sims 3.Building as you can expect is fairly similar to The Sims 2 but with the added features such as the auto-roof (handy for those who always forget about the roof, i.e. me), wall drag (moves the appropriate objects and walls to make it easier when making adjustments to your house) and free placement of certain objects such as trees. Buy mode is also fairly similar to TS2 but again you can use the free placement tool to place and rotate objects wherever you wish to. There are also quarter tiles if you want slightly more precise placement than in TS2, but don’t feel like using the free placement option.
Thinking I didn’t have enough time to start a family, I decided to adopt a child instead. The adoption menu allows you to pick a gender and age ranging from baby, toddler, child and teen, and you can also name the Sim (I am unsure if you are able to do this with all ages). I chose a male baby and the social worker was soon on her way over to my house. When she arrived she placed the baby on the floor in a cute baby basket. The wife picked up the baby out of the basket and held him in her arms. The baby is always wrapped in a blanket (mine was blue, I imagine girls are pink) but do exactly the same as babies in TS2; it just looks cuter.
Geeky Women over De Sims 3 UK event
Een nieuw verslag met veel leuke details van het De Sims 3 event in Londen en Manchester kun je op deze pagina van Geeky Women vinden.
Opportunities
Opportunities are mini-quests that the player can choose to accept or ignore. In the case of adults, they can lead to stuff like extra cash, higher friendship with work colleagues, promotions, and other advantages. Children and teens are also able to have Opportunities, which can be rewarded with stuff like cash and/or school credit, which helps them raise their grades.
Over my time playing, I got the chance to see several Opportunities for my Sims. Puck had to go straight from his work at the Outstanding Citizen Warehouse Corp in order to deliver a package to City Hall. Pietro got school credit and cash for fixing the school’s boiler after school, and was later asked to catch a fish and deliver it to the Landgrabb Science Faculty for an experiment. Wanda had to read ‘Demand Excellance or You’ll get Mediocrity’ for school credit, and later got the opportunity to work for Doo Peas Corperate Tower for school credit and cash.
