"With such a vibrant and active community as The Sims has, we wanted to build even further on the already immense offline experience, by offering players additional functionality, content and tools available online through the game," said Ben Bell, Executive Producer of The Sims 3. "One example of the many online tools we've added to the game is the Create a Movie tool. Within the game, players can easily set up the camera angle they want, capture in-game footage, play director and producer and then post their movies online to show off to the world."

Key Online Elements Include:

• The Sims 3 Store: Included with purchase of the game is $10 worth of SimPoints, which players receive when they first register their game online at TheSims3.com. They can use their SimPoints towards downloading exclusive in-game items from The Sims 3 Store to customize their game. For additional items, players can purchase bundles of 500, 1000 and 2000 SimPoints in $USD, EUR, GBP and other major international currencies using a variety of payment methods including international and national credit cards, PayPal, and EA cash cards (in North America only). Whether it's the must-have new outfit or the latest style of plaid furniture, players have the opportunity to further customize and populate their Sims world with additional items.
• Game Launcher: The Game Launcher is the key entry point for players into TheSims3.com community. This hub page connects players to both the Store and the Exchange, and provides them with news and information about game updates.

Tänk dig att man får använda sig av solnedgångar för att skapa romantisk känsla!

p.s. Nu lämnar jag över simsnörden ett tag till  Gästbloggaren Amanda! =D Det kommer bli superkul!

Oh yeah!
För er alla som spelar ts på mac, det kommer komma ut samtidigt som till PC. Mac och PC är jämställda för en gångs skull!

Det är lite mer stylish att spela på mac må jag säga, men det finns ju inte lika mycket downloads och applikationer som till PC. Sen så vet man ju inte hur det blir med EP, men grymt att det kommer till Mac iallafall! :D
