While this trailer for The Sims 3 may look like an episode of Laguna Beach I’m still surprisingly looking forward to the game. You see, not only does the game allow your Sim’s access to the entire town without those pesky loading screens (and the ability to see what’s going on elsewhere at any moment) but it also deals with the problem of one family aging while the others stay frozen in time - something which has always annoyed me.

I’m the kind of guy who loves to create stories so The Sims franchise has always been a favourite of mine. Unlike other people I don’t actually care about the constant expansion packs because, hey, it’s new content and at least EA are continuing to support the game. Couple that with an excellent community with literally millions of creations and you can have endless fun!

It’s strange isn’t it? Strange how ‘endless fun’ comes from tasks that become second nature in our daily lives. This time around there won’t be as much of trying to force your sim to go to the toilet as the micro-management has somewhat been reduced. The focus is more on making social connections and creating your stories from these. So, it’s still The Sims at heart but tries to emphasise the fun parts. I guess that makes the title of this post redundant, huh?

The Sims 3 won’t be with us until sometime next year.
