TSR and The Sims 3

NewsAuthor: Thomas|TSRPublished: May 28, 2009Views: 8944

There has been quite a few questions regarding this, so I'd like to clarify our plans for The Sims 3.

1. Will you provide custom content for The Sims 3?

Yes, we will continue to provide/host custom content in the same way as we do now for The Sims 2. Once the game ships we will accept submissions for lots and patterns. Once our Workshop tool is ready we will accept submissions for all other type of custom content that you are used to (new mesh sets, clothing, hair etc). We will begin a new team of Featured/Select Artists focused on The Sims 3 (not all will jump onto the The Sims 3 bandwagon) - look for this announcement once CC is fully enabled. This also means we will continue to provide both free and subscriber content, like we do now.

2. What about subscriptions - will the subscription I buy now also give me access to The Sims 3 content?

Yes it will. There will always only be one subscription type and it gives you access to all our catalogues of content. There will not be a The Sims 3 only subscription.

3. What about Screenshots, Stories, Challenges etc?

Our ambition is to provide this as well for The Sims 3. The official site will focus a lot on movies and machinima, but for those hooked on writing stories the way we present them we will continue to provide this feature. Challenges the way we do them now will require some more time, we'll see what happens.

Hope this clears up some of your thoughts and concerns regarding our future plans for The Sims 3!

I'm eager to see what CC tools and content are like, whether or not I buy the game will depend entirely on how well/easy the process goes.  To me, thats what made S1 so awesome.  I would also like to hear about others experience with the "neediness" of thier characters, as mentioned by Sandpip.

Hi Guys
I noticed a lot of people had one of the gripes that I did with the game. If you want the screen to move by just using the mouse so you don't have to use the keyboard cursor keys.
Just go into options in the save list, then click on Game Options and tick the edge scrolling box. The game disables it to begin with, you just have to switch it on. So back to a scrolling screen, drove me nuts all night but worked out the problem so thought I'd share with those of you that haven't found it yet.

I got it the day it came out- and I like it! Theirs still a lot I need to learn how to do, its weird going from super expert on sims2 and then going to noob for sims3! It will surely take some getting used to, but I like all the options.I just hate that you can't go shopping for clothes!!

I hadn't planned on getting Sims3 but i passed by it in the store and I could not resist. It's different from the other games,  some bad but mostly I enjoy all the new challenges. One thing i don't like is not being able to manuver around a house. It took me 10 minutes to get the right angle in the kitchen.All and all  I have to say that It was worth the money and i look forward to exploring all areas of the game.
