They look good, not too realistic but im sure someone will make custom stuff to make them more realistic.

Any ideas of system specs yet?

We Bought New Decent Hosting, Wooooo!

You may have noticed that The Unofficial Sims 3 UK Site was down for the past couple of days, the reason for this is that we have finally got round to buying decent hosting which gives us loads more disk space, a faster server, and lots of other benefits to help improve the site.

Over the last 2 days we have been working around the clock to get the site back up as quickly and swiftly as possible and we are pleased to say that the move was a success and all work is complete.

The Database has been transfered from the old free host so we have not lost any content.
If you were registered with the site you still are, so there is no need to worry about having to register again.

Since the move we took the opportunity to clean up the site and some changes have came into action, you will notice that the news is back to the default PHP-Fusion layout, we have a new logo and some other new images.

In The Sims 3 you can create realistic Sims with distinctive personalities. Select from dozens of personality traits and combine them in fun ways. The combination of traits you choose help shape the behaviour of your Sims and how they interact with other Sims.

To let you know what some of the known Traits are we have compiled a Traits list over at The Unofficial Sims 3 UK Site.

To read the Traits List Click Here .
