The Sims 3 will conquer your life this fall as it will be released for all three consoles and the DS. EA says the console version will feature all new features, like sharing achievements with friends on Facebook for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions.
“We’re bringing players the best console and handheld game for The Sims franchise to date and are excited to offer a unique experience for all types of gamers on their platform of choice,” explained Sam Player, Executive Producer at EA. “Building on the unique traits system, living open neighborhood, lifetime wishes, and endless customization options, we’ve tailored each platform of The Sims 3 with exclusive features to allow for even more control, creativity, and connectivity.”
In case you’ve never experienced anything Sims related, you’ll create custom Sims with unique personalities and characteristics. Another new feature, according to the press release, includes “Karma Powers” for instant control of your Sims. You can get your Sims “lucky,” enhance them with “instant beauty” or curse them with an “epic fail.”
The Sims 3 for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and DS is in development by The Sims Studio. The game is currently available on PC, Mac, iPhone, iPod touch, and mobile devices.
