EA unveils first Sims 3 expansion News

PC News by Robert Purchese

3 August, 2009

EA has unveiled a World Adventures expansion pack for the PC and Mac versions of The Sims 3, which ships to retailers the week starting 16th November. That, presumably, puts the European release as Friday 20th November.

World Adventures lets Sims travel around the globe to famous places, learning skills, searching for treasure and picking up new styles along the way. Your Sim might like to master martial arts in China, for example, or stare at landmarks in France. And everything you do can be recorded in a photo album or on film and shared with friends.

EA plans exclusive downloadable content for World Adventures in the future, and will offer buyers 1000 Sim Points to spend in The Sims 3 Store.

Additionally, World Adventures will be available on the iPhone/iPod Touch App Store early next year.

Our gallery for The Sims 3: World Adventureshas the first pictures.

The Sims 3 launched here last month and was well received. Head to our review of The Sims 3 to find out more.

Well, fair enough. Sounds like a bit of extra fun. Wouldn't mind seeing inside their work offices though :P

Well, many of these casual gamers only care about Sims. They aren't waiting each year for GRITTY SHOOTER SEQUEL r whatever. They play Sims when they feel like it.

They're interested in more Sims. It shows because it sells. They get more of it.

The price value of said expansions can be set into question compared with the production costs, but that's not how businesses work. Even if you don't care about Sims, these games are getting money in line for projects like Mirror's Edge.

I suppose its "trendy" to diss The Sims games, but they are popular because on the whole they're fun to play.
I enjoy them :)

I thought they were supposed to be easing off on this crazy business model?

Correct me if I am wrong, but there is a bigger gap between this expansion packs release and the first expansion pack for the Sims 2, which seemed to literally come out a few weeks after the main game.

Sims 2 had 8 expansion packs over the course of 4 years (and a bunch of editions bundling them).

The first expansion came after 4.5 months.
