SIMposium - Sims 3 World Adventures

As some of you may know, I was fortunate enough to be invited to attend the SIMposium at EA Games in San Francisco on the 29th & 30th of October. I had the most amazing time & I got to meet creators from around the world, as well as the Sims design team. I even got to meet the infamous Steve Bonham & the wonderful Cedric from here at TSR! There were 23 people from 10 countries & I'm proud to say that 3 of us were from Australia.

I got a tour of EA Games, a preview of the new expansion pack & I also got to have a play of the new Sims 3 Create a World Tool!

I was given lots of free time to explore each of the worlds (China, France & Egypt) & I had a lovely time oohing & aahing at all of the amazing new objects & build tools. There are 3 new pagoda style roofs from China, lots of new trees & plants for those who love landscaping & an amazing array of new themed objects for your sims to fill their homes. Exploring the worlds brings you into contact with a huge range of collectables which your sim can display at home, much as they did with Bon Voyage. You can even build & buy holiday homes in each of the worlds!  

I spent most of my free time testing out the new Sims 3 Create a World Tool which the design team used to create all of these wonderful new worlds. The program will be made available to everyone to download for free from the Sims 3 website in December - so you too can create your own unique world! I will be posting another blog with more detail on this amazing new program, so stay tuned!

I want to send a huge thank you to Steve Bonham for nominating me to attend the SIMposium & to EA for providing me with an amazing World Adventure which I will never forget.

Love & Hugs to all,

Shaz
