The Sims 3 RELEASED! - posted by Supuhstar
I got it at my doorstep noon today! Collector's Edition, too! I started it up and it works like a dream. The way Sims, Houses, relationships, and... pretty much everything is made is so much more streamlined! Your photos and video are saved in the interactive Startup dialogue. The UI is a little remeniscent of that of TS1, and I like it! I give it 5 plumbobs out of 5! Good work, MAXIS! {{#switch: 5

The Sims 3 features announced - posted by Supuhstar
That's one step closer to release! The full released list can be seen here.
The Sims 3 release date official - posted by Supuhstar
Like I said in my last post, The Sims 3 had been delayed indefinitely. Well as of February 3rd, it has been officialized as June 2nd. That's right, just another 4 months... Instead of already being out...
EA announced in the press conference that “The June launch combined with the breakthrough game the team is building gives us the perfect runway to create awareness for The Sims 3... The Sims 3 will be the original IP summer blockbuster of 2009 as we build off the success of the best-selling PC franchise of all time to create awareness with both loyal Sims fans and new players.”
The rest of the article can be seen here.
In short, The Sims 3 has been delayed because they want you to want it just that much more.

The Sims 3 Delayed! - posted by Supuhstar
That's right! According to all reliable Sims news soursed on the internet, The Sims 3 launch date will be delayed. To when, we can't know until February 3, when EA will give an official statement about the delay.
Also, some abnormalities have surfaced concerning the release date: "the official releasedate is removed from both the official Sims 3 site and several EA sites, there is still no official cover for the game despite it should almost go to the presses, someone from the BBS who pre-ordered got a releasedate of June 18, French Amazon give a releasedate of February 26 (though a delay of just a week is not unusual considering shipping times), and many Australian stores give a releasedate of March 26" (news from ::SnootySims::)
Argh! - posted by an exasperated dev called ed
Something's up with our server - not my fault. It seems to keep resetting sessions, so if the wiki tells you it "could not process your edit", that's what it is. This could be a deliberate attack or just something wrong with the server, not much we can do either way.
Bon Voyage - posted by Iconofroses
Yesterday EA Games released a few more tidbits about the upcoming expansion pack "Bon Voyage." In addition to the three destinations our Sims will have access to, they'll also be able to take tours, buy or find unique items (hunting for buried treasure actually sounds like fun), and be able to select what kind of travel accommodations they stay at. Hey, even our poor Sims will be able to travel apparently.
A video was also released and I have to admit, this expansion pack is looking better and better! From the video alone our Sims will be able to log roll, throw axes for fun, learn new dances, meditate (and float apparently!), use a wishing well that glows green (I'm already dreading the negative outcomes), build sandcastles, and a whole lot more.
Head here to view the video and get the full details.
