The SimsTM 3 offers you endless possibilities for total freedom!

REDWOOD CITY, CALIFORNIA - Electronic Arts has revealed the first information about one of the most anticipated interactive entertainment games of the moment, The Sims™ 3. Featuring an all-new game engine that has been in development for nearly three years, The Sims™ 3 allows you to immerse truly unique Sims in a vibrant, open-ended neighborhood accessible from their doorstep! Among the first features revealed are a new, fully open neighborhood with no loading times, a new version of Create-a-Sim, new personalities that are more realistic than ever, and limitless customization. The Sims™ 3 will be released worldwide in 2009.

The Sims™ has long been known for its universal appeal, finding success with both men and women, regardless of age. It is this diverse audience and the loyalty of The Sims™ passionate community that has helped the franchise sell 98 million copies worldwide and be translated into 22 languages. Praised for its creativity, humor and community, The Sims™ franchise has become a true cultural and global phenomenon since its debut in 2000.

Today, The Sims™ 3 is designed to be the flagship next-generation game of The Sims™ label.

"In The Sims™ 3, Sims can go beyond the confines of their land to immerse themselves in a vibrant, open-ended neighborhood and interact with other Sims through a new, in-depth personality system," said Rod Humble, head of The Sims™ Studio. "It's because of this open-ended game system that we're able to offer endless creative possibilities. But that's not all, the new goal and reward system will also allow all players, whether they're new to the game or more experienced, to enjoy the game over and over!"

A new open neighborhood: explore the area freely!
Explore the world with your Sims! The new open neighborhood design allows your Sims to roam freely and visit family, friends... or even enemies! Discover other homes and families, visit new places like the town hall or the city park... it's a whole new way of life for your Sims! The gameplay options multiply as your Sims stroll through downtown and meet new friends, go out to lunch, spy on their neighbors, or bump into their boss at the most inopportune moment!

A new version of Create-a-Sim: create your Sim as you imagine it!
En plus d’un quartier ouvert et vivant, la toute nouvelle interface de Créer-un-Sim proposera des outils de conception très simples qui vous permettront de créer des Sims incroyablement détaillés et plus réalistes que jamais. Créer-un-Sim vous offre une liberté sans pareil pour personnaliser tous les Sims sortis de votre imagination ! Mince ou bien portant, musclé ou gringalet, vous pourrez tout vous permettre, jusqu’aux extrêmes ! En plus de déterminer la forme et la taille du corps de vos Sims, vous pourrez également définir chaque trait de leur visage, personnaliser leur coupe de cheveux et la couleur de leur peau, en faisant votre choix parmi un large éventail d’options. Avec autant de possibilités, vous pourrez passer des heures à créer des personnages plus réalistes que jamais. Vous pouvez les créer à votre image, à l’image d’une célébrité ou encore à celle d’une personne à laquelle vous voudriez ressembler !

New realistic personalities: each Sim is unique, with its own personality
With the innovative realistic personality system exclusive to The Sims™ 3, you can assign each Sim five personality traits and thus shape their behavior and the way they interact with others and their environment. This new system will allow you to create extremely complex and varied personalities; will you choose the nosy, out-of-place, kleptomaniacal grandmother who spends her days sticking her nose into other people's business? Or the impetuous rocker who is allergic to any form of commitment and whose rudeness and infantility prevent him from forming real romantic relationships? In The Sims™ 3, your Sims will go beyond the classic set of their everyday needs to become full-fledged, multi-faceted individuals capable of focusing on both short-term opportunities and long-term goals. With a wide range of personality traits to choose from, over 700 million Sims possibilities await you! You never know who you'll run into in The Sims™ 3!

New unlimited customization: all players can customize anything they want!
The new creative tools in The Sims™ 3 make it easy for players to customize everything the way they want it! From floors to flowerbeds, clothing, sofas, wallpaper and curtains, The Sims™ 3 gives you all the flexibility and options a true interior designer needs to create and outfit the home of your dreams! Your Sims can move into a luxurious mansion, a modern bachelor pad, a family villa or a charming bungalow. The choice is yours in The Sims™ 3.

« Le nouveau moteur et les nouvelles technologies du jeu Les Sims 3 sont conçus pour éveiller l’imagination du joueur et le pousser à créer des Sims réalistes aux personnalités distinctes et à découvrir un quartier vivant et ouvert, » a ajouté Ben Bell, producteur exécutif sur Les Sims™ 3. « Les joueurs vont être complètement fascinés par le degré de réalisme dans Les Sims™ 3 ! »
