Sims 3 Release Delay Confirmed

Amy Tucker — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 22:37:58 +0000

I didn’t want to believe that the reported delay was going to affect the US. I wanted to stay in my little fantasy world and believe that the delay would only hit the foreign markets and that the US would be able to thumb our noses at everyone else. [Not very nice but we were SO close to the release date!]

And then, I saw this in an EA press release:

“The June launch combined with the break-through game the team is building gives us the perfect runway to create awareness for The Sims 3,” said Russell Arons, Vice President of Marketing for EA. “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.”

Damn.

Can’t argue with that.

I just pre-ordered my game today and I keep telling myself that June is THAT far away. *sniff, sniff*

Mansion & Garden Stuff to Hit Mid-November

Amy Tucker — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 21:54:24 +0000

Maxis is releasing yet another stuff pack – Mansion and Garden Stuff.

Normally I would roll me eyes at this since Sims 3 is just around the corner. However, this stuff pack has some things that I’ve been wanting for a while: ceiling fans, double staircases and solar panels.

The pack comes with three themes: Moroccan, Art Deco, and Second Empire and all kinds of garden/flower elements to really spruce up your sims’s house.

The pack is officially released on the 17th of November but can be pre-ordered from EA’s website.

Apartment Life Limited Collection

I decided to go ahead and pre-order Apartment Life so that I don’t miss out on the sweet GlowStation 90XD. While I was in the process of ordering, I noticed something that I hadn’t noticed before: Sims 2:Apartment Life Limited Collection. It’s $10 more than the “regular” Apartment Life and I couldn’t quite figure out why.

After a tiny bit of digging [and by digging I mean I scrolled down to the bottom of the page], I learned that Sims 2:Apartment Life Limited Collection is a combination of Sims 2:Double Deluxe [which is really a combination of The Sims 2, The Sims 2: Nightlife Expansion Pack and The Sims 2: Celebration Stuff] and Apartment Life.

SO, if you’ve been waiting to jump into the Sims 2 phenomenon this Sims 2:Apartment Life Limited Collection might be the combo pack for you since it contains a butt load of content for $40.00
