The Sims 3 Updates!

[silverlining]

I thought perhaps the new forum could use a TS3 news and updates thread! Not that terrbily much is happening atm but even so..:)

Might be most of ya'll have already noticed these but I'll post them anyways:
There's a new screenie out on the official site. It can be found here. It doesn't exactly give us much, but I believe it's the first screenshot featuring a sim child.
Also, over at Snooty Sims you can find some TS3 art concept pictures/scetches.

Hi y'all. On my daily visit to The Sims 3 Info I found a link to a new article:
www.businessweek.com/innovate/content/jun2008/id20080611_549083.htm
It doesn't really have any new info but goes into slightly more detail about the costumization system. Happy reading, lol!

Thanks for that link. Still doesn't tell much more than we already know though does it. Wish they would start putting up more pictures and videos.

Sorry Emma, that I have taken so long to get to this thread.

Busy, busy like a bee at the moment.

Thanks for the links.

I am not sure yet, whether I am excited about it yet. Perhaps when they show more like Carol says.

Yeah, it's furstrating isn't it! The official website has only updated once since it opened, and that was just to add one screenshot. Still, with the release almost a year away I guess weekly updates is expecting too much XD

I'm wondering if it's because it's still too early and they're still working on things and sorting things out still to really be able release more information since things could change between now and time of its release with features or practically anything else to cause some of the same level of grief and complaints that they drew over just weather with Sims2 when that idea was pulled from the base game given that they kept announcing and making an issue of that before its release only to pull it later. It may also the fact that Sims2 is still very much out and in the "front burner" so to speak and not wanting to detract too much attention from it just yet?

I think those both might be factors, thought I hadn't thought of them myself. I guess with the TS2 thing it could be that they know TS3 info isn't a requirement to keep the community alive. For the rest I think not announcing things until they're sure is a good thing. Less confusion, and a bit less complaining that way.
