SIMS 3 NEWS: THE SIMS 3 WORLD ADVENTURE MORE DETAILS ON CHINA AND FRANCE DETAILS REVEALED

Champs Les Sims, France

•The Good Life - Champs Les Sims, France offers the cultural elite some of the finer things in life. Sims can learn the fine culinary art of nectar making, or flash over with a camera to learn the Photography Skill. This beautiful country town is sure to please the senses and invigorate the soul.
•Civilized Folk - Settled towards the end of the Medieval Period, Champs Les Sims has a rich history and culture. From the arts to delicious culinary delights, this small French town has everything Sims need to live a comfortable life.
•Try Your Feet at Nectar Making! Sims fascinated by Gardening and the culinary arts can now refine their talents by learning the nectar making skill. Combine your own fruits with new types of grapes or other fruits to create unique Nectar combinations. After stomping the fruit, the nectar maker processes the juice into delicious nectar. Sell, trade or enjoy these new flavors! Sims can learn all about nectar making by using the nectar maker from the Nectary or by reading books bought in France. The Nectary in Champs Les Sims should be visited by any Sims interested in nectar making or for purchasing nectar making equipment!
•But, Beware - The Nectary isn’t just a tourist location for those who enjoy the flavors of nectar, but the site of one of the deadliest and most expansive tombs in the world.
•Exploration - The Celtic Burial Mound is a relatively safe tomb for new travelers to explore. Look for it in the far corner of town – it’s the large mound covered with ancient, mystical looking stones. The Faerie Tomb has long been hidden, though it’s just waiting for a new explorer to discover its secrets. Complete the first section to gain access to the vast riches tucked away on the island.
•CafĂ© - The Champs Les Sims marketplace is a great place to purchase new French Recipes and Nectar Making equipment! It’s also a great place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or delicious local crepe.
•Solve the Case - Think you’re up to the task of solving the mystery of the wily Jean Necteaux? Take on an adventure in France and see where it leads!
•Tour Time - Take a tour of the local museum, which showcases relics and artifacts from all around the world. The Museum is a great place to look for treasures that inspire you to adventure and explore.
•Creatures! - Collect new local wildlife like Frogs and Snails and take them home as pets. •Not by Foot - Zip around town on a cool new scooter and take in the sights and the fresh country air!


Shang SimLa, China

•Home - A peaceful, isolated community in the mountainous region of China. Founded by a group of monks long ago, the locals take pride in their discipline and mental clarity. They enjoy visitors, but encourage tourists to spend their visit in a peaceful and respectful manner.
•People - Home to people that value discipline, peace and clarity of mind over all else. While there, adventurers are encouraged to visit the Academy to learn the Martial Arts skill, then head to the Scholar’s Garden for introspective meditation.
•The Mysterious Dragon Cave - High on the hill, overlooking Shang SimLa is a cave of cloudy origin. What happened there? What does it mean? Follow the smoke up the hill to find the mysterious Dragon Cave, which holds the key to the mystery of this forgotten valley.
•Local Color - Purchase fireworks from the local general merchant and travel to the tallest hill to put on a spectacle worth writing home about! Be careful though, beauty has its’ cost (not meant for indoor use).
•Awesome Army - The ancient and resolute Terracotta Soldiers of the long-dead First Emperor can be found deep within the hillsides of Shang Simla. Visit them and stand in awe of their majesty!
•Heavenly Vista – High above town, take in the breathtaking views and calm of this great site. Explore the ancient and mystical Temple of Heaven to uncover untold secrets left long ago.
•It said what?! - Purchase the Fortune Cookie Maker to enjoy the hilarious and foreboding fortunes for your Sims. Take one home yourself to give luck (or maybe not) to your neighbors.
•Untold Wonders - Discover a lifetime of riches in Dong Huo’s Treasure Trove. Uncover all the secrets and your Sims may never need to work again!
In The Sims 3 World Adventures, you can build like never before and share simple or complex tombs, hidden caves, and catacombs you’ve created with other Sims players. Building tombs is an entirely new way to enjoy Build and Buy Modes in the game and adds a new element to the adventure game play as a first for The Sims. To continue the lesson in adventure building, we’ve outlined additional objects that you can use and triggers that will activate behaviors—cause and effect style. Plus, we have more tips. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create!

Over a dozen additional artists who will lend their Simlish voice stylings to The Sims 3 World Adventures including Grammy Award-winner LeAnn Rimes and hot rising stars Fefe Dobson, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, Katie Melua, Esme Denters, Evan Taubenfeld, Madina Lake, and more...

SIMS 3 NEWS: CHINA IN WORLD ADVENTURES

LEARN HOW TO MASTER KUNG FU FIGHTING IN SHANG SIMLA, CHINA



In the new expansion pack, Sims can now master Martial Arts by traveling to Shang Simla, China. The five main steps to Martial Arts are: Train, practice, center, master, and teach. A detail list of these steps are listed below:

TRAIN - The best place to begin the path of the righteous is in Shang Simla, China at The Phoenix Academy of Martial Arts . Those who wish to train outside of China can also learn the skill. Bookworks can take books home on Martial Arts. Sims may purchase the Board Breaker or the Training dummy. After alot of practice with the training dummies, and the board breaker - or reading, can your Sim claim they have enough skills to face the several opponents. In The Sims 3 World Adventures, your Sim must defeat several worthy opponents in the Grand Tournament of China, to master Marital Arts.

PRACTICE - Martial Artists love to spar and hone their skills in friendly combat. As a reward, Martial Artists receive new training outfits with colorful belts to denote their skill and aptitude in the craft. Sparring is a great way to develop your Sims skills, build friendships, and show off cool new belts obtained as reward!

CENTER - Meditation is key to obtaining focus and mental peace of mind. A powerful fist is nothing without a stronger mind. Focused Martial Artists are able to teleport, making them incredibly powerful.

MASTER - Master Martial Artists are so powerful they can summon the magical elements from nature itself to aid them in their battles against evil!


TEACH - Top Level Martial Artists may train others, further strengthening the ranks of disciplined martial artists throughout the world.

Some information is from the Sims official website.

SIMS 3 NEWS: VIDEOS RELEASED

The Sims 3 released two new videos for the Sims 3 expansion pack "World Adventures". I still feel like it's a lot like tombraider, but I think it will be interesting, how it will interact with the Sims 3. Personally, I'll probably get the game for the extra traits, content, and Jobs that are included with the addition. I can't see myself going on any of the adventures, but as my mother always say " never say NEVER". The video is no longer available

I found this picture this morning, as I was thinking"I'm going to scream, if I see one more thing on Egypt". Although, I'm not sure where it's from. France may change, since the expanision pack , the Sims 3 World Adventures is still in development. However, the picture is a refreshing change, from Eygpt. I just thought I'll share.

SIMS 3 NEWS: THE TOMBS

The last article on the Sims World Adventures, was released around the 18Th of this month. I won't bore you with the numerous reasons of why I didn't cover the article on the Sims 3 World Adventures. However, one major reason I didn't cover the article on the Sims 3 World Adventures was...that I kinda wasn't impressed. I'm not that hard to impress, then again my husband would say differently. I suddenly started feeling bad because it occurred to me that there are some, that may not have read the article on the Sims 3 World Adventures. Besides, I felt the urge to give my opinion on what was release on the Sims World Adventures. - at least Egypt.

Well... the "basement tool" in the Sims 3 World Adventures didn't quite impress me as much as it seemed to impress others. Why? I Remember basements from Sims 2, and to be polite I wasn't very fond of them. Although, I did download a house with a basement, for the Bachelor/Bachelorette challenge - and I did love it. This feature might be good after all and with tombs it will be necessary.

I thought the fog was a good touch - exactly I loved it! The Floor Switch, dive wells, and wall and floor traps was a bit too much. I kept thinking of a family going though this, or a mother carrying a child. It's possible with the features that were released. The Sims 3 World Adventures seems like a good expansion pack, but all I can think of is "Tomb raider", and that movie "Indiana Jones". (Gotta to tell you the Sims 3 World Adventures kinda ... doesn't impress me - " maybe I am hard to impress").

SIMS 3 NEWS: THE SIMS 3 WORLD ADVENTURES

I was browsing the internet and came across a website that gave a short review on the first Sims 3 expansion pack. One of the members of the website, was invited to appear for a viewing of the new expansion pack. She wrote an article for that website. She quickly addressed the one thing many Sim fans want to know - Sims must still be created in Sunset Valley or Riverview. No, Sims won't be able to live in the newly created "worlds". It's all up to your "visa level", how long you can stay. You can build up your Visa level by taking on opportunities and adventures.

She then gave an example on how a Sim would gain "visa levels". She told her readers that Sims must take on these opportunities or adventures to gain "visa levels". At this time, she wanted to tell her readers that going on these "adventures" or holidays doesn't permanently take away current opportunities from the Sim. Then she told a brief story of a Sim named Chaz. It's kinda like the video.

Here's some things that the article reveals:


-You may have to go to another location to find things to complete some opportunities.

- All ages are allowed to go on vacation, even babies and toddlers so you don’t have to leave them home.

- Even though babies and toddlers can come on vacation, the parents will still need to carry their children on their arms while exploring the lands. (She didn't say if a babysitter was available)

- We still won't able to create new neighborhoods.

- As you probably know you can see a snake charmer on one of the Sims 3 World Adventures screenshots. Our Sims are able to learn that as well.

- When your Sims go on vacation not only will the opportunities be saved, also the neighborhood will freeze time until your Sims come back. So you can leave some family members at home.

-There are new types of food ingredients available.

The 3 new traits are:

  • Discipline= comes in handy when you would like to train martial arts
  • Photographers eye= comes in handy if you would like to train in photography
  • Adventures=this will give your Sim more wishes to go on adventure

Some facts may change as EA is still in deep development.

SIMS 3 NEWS: SALE ON SIMS 3 IPOD TOUCH AND IPHONE

The makers of Sims 3 dropped the price for the Sims 3 to $6.99 on the ipod touch and iphone. From my understanding, it's similar to the Sims 3 on the PC. It doesn't sound great, but I heard It's great for when you are waiting on the bus, standing in line, between classes, etc. On a positive note, I did find out that their were mini-games. That sounds interesting. If you want to try it out you can by it at apple.
