The Sims 3: Supernatural - Officially Announced!

[Leto85]

It sounds to me like Zombies are the result of a potion so maybe once you create one NPC Zombie yourself then it goes out of control. Like a real plague. I wonder if they'll include a way to destroy them. Oh and they mentioned new Vampires so maybe they'll work on that infection as well!

Unless I've read that wrong in Ricalynn her post on the previous page there will be a option to turn your sims back from zombie to less smelly.
That will be a relieve, as Sim to zombie was a one way road back in The Sims 2.

That is a great news!
Need to mark September 7th in my calendar:)

If anyone finds the release dates for their country just post it and I'll add it, the price might be a good thing to have as well.

It shows that for North America it will be released Sept 4th for $39.99

I think I like it.  I can see where I'll get bored quickly with the Witches & Werewolves - but thankfully EPs typically also integrate a lot of minor features that just make my overall gameplay more interesting (ie: Sliding Bookcase). It'll probably be one of those EPs that grows on me right before it gets released like Showtime did.

I'm actually excited about a Zombie infestation in my game (like someone else said, the townies don't really affect my play that much) - I can't think of anything funner to do than to fight off a horde trying to take over my home!  At least it'll be good practice.    I'm also a fan of Plants vs Zombies, so I already know I'm going to preorder to get all the cool (to me) PvZ extras! (As usual, I will wait until they offer a free SP to go along with the exclusive content). 

P.S. I'm also on the annoying "I Want Seasons" band wagon and my heart drops every time a new EP is mentioned without it. *sigh* Someday my Sim World will be complete...  I have a feeling it'll be the Last EP they release.

You're the one who put the stuff on the front page!  It says right there in the blurb for zombies - you can also concoct an elixir to return them to normal.

It's $39.99 US for the Limited Edition EP with all the PvZ stuff.  I'm a big fan of PvZ and I could totally see myself putting a bucket on my favorite red guy's head before I shove him down another mining hole.    I'm having trouble actually pre-ordering through origin right now so I haven't been able to squeeze any more info out on if the non limited edition will be cheaper.  It looks like they're not fully ready to actually let you do it.

I can't wait to buy this EP. It sounds really cool, and considering the fact that I haven't played the Sims 2 or its version of this EP, I'm really excited to see the new content.

And lol, I can finally recreate Twilight and have Bella choose Jacob. And then fight a horde of zombies with peashooters! XD (Thinking about getting the pre-ordered version).

I still wish they'd create Seasons for Sims 3 though...

Half the world wants Sims 3 Seasons but as this expansion has been officially announced talking about another hypothetical EP is off-topic.

I might be almost more excited about PvZ content than Harry Potter.

SimsGuruMegan is tweeting that supernaturals can be played however you want, either good or bad and we can have complete control over which supernaturals and how many are in your town.  She also said all the supernaturals can be created in CAS.

That is some awesome news! 

[cathyknits]

...especially if that also applies to vampires.

[Schipperke]

we can have complete control over which supernaturals and how many are in your town. 

That's good news.  Now, if they make it retroactive so it applies to previous "supernaturals" (vampires) I just may consider reinstalling Late Night.  Having control over how many celebrities we have as well would be nice too.

Edit:  cathyknits, you and I were posting at the same time - great minds think alike! 

[Telsey]

She said yes it applies to the vampires too. She added "see we do listen"

Well, great!  Did she happen to mention celebrities at all?  If so, I'll definitely be dusting off my LN disc.

[jeanamariex3]

Does this mean we officially get sliders?

If the answer is yes, I'm very excited! And about the vampires, will they be the same as Late Night? I think it's a bit silly to put vampires in what was already in another EP. Not bashing at all, just saying it's a bit odd.
