This time it's the first Sim3 Expansion Pack, World Adventures. It's a two day event on Thursday and Friday so I have a sneaking suspicion there is more to see than just EP1, especially given that there is already so much info out there about World Adventures already (these fan events are usually before EA start announcing all the details). I'll be keeping you up to date on the TSR blog during the event, with the usual preview once the event is over. Check back during the coming days for the very latest fro EA HQ!/p pYou can follow Steve's adventures on our brand new Twitter page here: a href=http://twitter.com/TheSimsResource target=_blankhttp://twitter.com/TheSimsResource/a/p
