Eighteen screenshots from The Sims 3 were posted today. Say what you will about the series, but I’ve always liked how expressive those little guys and gals were and The Sims 3 looks no different.

Find the Jeff Green cameo?

Spoiler

There is none

Above are the best, but here are the rest:

I don't really care about the graphics, but I am interested to see if there will be any real gameplay improvements, especially AI.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Looks like a major graphical improvement to me. But, what about the meat of "the game". How is it different from Sims 2?

It's for the masses.

i always thought sims should look simple like the sims 1

I think they are intentional keeping the specs needed low to sell 7 billion copies! The major improvement seems to be the semi open environment.

 

[bathala]

i wonder how big is the open world.

[ramsus]

Nice catch! :lol

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

looks like shit.

Not sold on this game at all, especially since it's a team other than Maxis developing it, and we know how those non Maxis developed Sims games have turned out *shudder*

Where's Frank West with a lawnmower when you need him?

 

[Fuzz Rez]

Day 1 !

I loved the first one and i will probably love this one too.

 

[dskillzhtown]

Don't really care about the graphics, as long as they have streamlined the gameplay I am down.

I loved Sims 2.

 

[Phoenix]

So long as it isn't the micromanagement hell of the first games I will probably be there.

My sister is really into the Sims games so I tried to play them a couple times. WTF. It sold like a hundred thousand million copies because everyone uses cheats, right? I tried making a family and they were either unhappy all the time or flat fucking broke. I can't keep juggling between some guy read a book and some woman having to go to the toilet and some other dude being tired and some terribly demanding kids to top it off. So I tried making this single guy who got all depressed because he didn't have people around all the time.

Seriously, the Sims is hardcore as fuck or all those housewives are simply better gamers than me. OR, like I said at the beginning of my post, everyone uses cheats. I know my sister has a money cheat memorised. It involves the space bar iirc.

It's got most of the team that worked on Sims 2, which is far superior to the first game.

I think the main difference the graphic aren't vastly improved is that it's an open world now, all the families progress at the same time and the whole neighborhood acts as one big lot. Also the wants and needs have been significantly altered, it's hard to explain though.
