a height adjuster probably could work. example, in the sims 2, an adult is able to lean down to kiss a child. i'm sure ea could figure it out.

Yes this is the point I just made.

Height adjustment would be no problem at all if sims bodies were generated and managed procedurally, like the creatures in Spore. But the main differences between Sims2 and 3 are ones of gameplay. I think they might work on the mechanics/physics side of it more for Sims 4, if we ever get that far.

I want some more info on the progress!!!!!

Everytime i read info on the sims 3 the same thing disappionts me: the confirmed ages, so it seems they're not doing any gradual aging or no smaller age groups like young adult, adult and middle aged; and for some reason they didnt mention toddlers!!!

not happy at all. This better change, and there is hope because i don't think they've even started working on the other age groups yet, all i seem to see in the screenshots are young adults.

SonOfdork · 09-06-2008, 01:28 PM

Come on EA people give us some hints we won't tell anybody... will we???

littlemissy960 · 11-06-2008, 06:57 PM

I know for a fact seasons is in the base game, but I really want pets to be aswell.

loulou508 · 12-06-2008, 10:08 AM

Does anyone know what the Spec is going to be, along the same lines as Sims2?

bjm827 · 12-06-2008, 03:17 PM

Well my guess is that you'll need a computer that's a little better. With the seamless neighborhood your computer is gonna need to be able to handle more houses and sims on the screen than before. Also, the sims themselves look a little better graphics-wise.

As for myself, I'm kind of hoping they include apartments in the base game, seeing as they're already working on them now anyway for the Apartment Life EP. It looks like it'll bring in some cool new gameplay elements. Also, a lot of people wind up making so much money they don't know what to do with it. With an apartment, it'll be a way to keep the money level at a point where it still seems like you're accomplishing/saving up for something.

I passionately loved the word 'every time' because I thought that I would never see it spelt as one word. I saw that spelling in your post. Please apologise and forgive me; I am autistic, and obsessed with the English language.

WoohooSimz3 · 15-06-2008, 03:16 PM

you get elders too because theres an elder in one of the official screenshots.

articunocc · 15-06-2008, 05:38 PM

you are so obsessed with ages, they have to include ages so stop worrying about that, this game is a sequel, not a prequel

Sims3RULE · 20-06-2008, 04:54 PM

Do anyone know when exactly sims 3 is going to be released?? It'll be great to have that info

bjm827 · 20-06-2008, 05:00 PM

Sometime in 2009. I'm not sure whether it's just 2009, or EA's fiscal 2009 year, which I believe begins in April.

limabifrost · 20-06-2008, 06:47 PM

People keep talking about March 2009, but then I don't know if that's just them being optimistic or just rumour..

Maddi · 21-06-2008, 12:47 AM

March 27th 09 that what i have heard so far, So far...

gemma331 · 21-06-2008, 10:05 PM

ohmygoshhhh i am so excited...

does that mean we are going to have to have a really good graphics card, a lot of RAM and memory space for it to work?

EAUK_Aurora · 21-06-2008, 10:43 PM

Welcome to the forums

We do not know the spec as yet. If your pc runs Sims 2 well then I would think that you should not worry too much.

I'm sure theres babies etc cuz the sims is about family. There would be no point otherwise so dw. Plus its not out till next year so there will be plenty more screenshots to come!

Matt@Sim_Moves · 22-06-2008, 09:08 AM

I'm sure that a few things with be developed more, like the ages (which might change).

The Jake · 22-06-2008, 12:50 PM

I find it strange that EA is creating a game, which is graphically better than the sims 2, has a whole seamless neighborhood with 91 lots and doesn't have loading times, whereas the Sims 2 had big loading times, even on pretty good computers.

Yet they expect it to work on older computers.

Must be a pretty good new engine they have for the game.

littlemissy960 · 22-06-2008, 03:47 PM

March and April is what i heard

Niniel · 22-06-2008, 03:49 PM

I'm going to go with late December just to be extremely pessimistic. They're putting it out so it will be available for Christmas :P

Honestly. Before EA gives out a date it's anybody's guess.
And I would say though, the longer it takes before things get updated on the page the further into the future it is.

They want to get us primed for buying of course, so more intense campaigning the closer it gets.

littlemissy960 · 22-06-2008, 03:59 PM

I think youre onto something there!

Sims3life · 25-06-2008, 10:04 AM

I do have some news I guess my site. I have started a Sims 3 website. Its been up about two months. I still have tons of features to add but its working out great.

Tigger3165 · 26-06-2008, 02:37 AM

i just hope 1up is wrong... they have the release date as december 15,2009....
