The Sims 3 Seasons: Announcement Thread

[Ricalynn]

The trailer is nice and all, but none of the links to the official announcement work.  We need an official link from Electronic Arts to keep this thread open.

Sorry for Double Post: Pam I pulled all of this information from Origin and the website pages that I listed which are from EA.com.   I get the feeling that they were so bogged down that the website crashed but they were working when I posted or else I would have deleted/locked Lasnien's post and not made one myself.

This one just worked for me: http://thesims.com/en_US/the-sims-3-seasons  as did http://store.origin.com/store/ea/en_US/pd/productID.254096800?easid=Origin_TS3SeasonsLE_Web_Tier2_PreOrder

I think they rushed that page, all the dimensions look funny to me... Unless it's just the fact that it's 11:50pm here.

I'm so excited!! I hope that I won't be too busy during November. I'm actually a new Sim player, I only started to play the Sim games in May, but this sounds really awesome. I can't wait! I hope my laptop can handle it.

YAY YAY!!  This is the one I have been hoping and waiting on!  Trailers look better then I imagined!

[Ricalynn]

I've posted official Origin Store Screenshots to the second post.  It looks amazing but I'm still not 100% sure how excited I am.

Does the town look familiar? Or, is it a new one?

Does the town look familiar? Or, is it a new one?

In the beginning of the trailer it looks like Sunset Valley, just with winter effects.

[Ricalynn]

It should be familiar.  It's Sunset Valley as far as I can tell.



I can see the Science Center and City Hall right where they usually are.  Agnes' house is a little hard to see with all the white though.

Thanks, Rica.  They work for me now.  Big news, for sure!

Q&A with Ryan Vaughan - http://iplaysims.com/news/2012/08/02/the-sims-3-seasons-qa-with-simgururyan/

I found this one particularly interesting:

Q: What are the best new features you would recommend to new players?

A: One of the exciting new additions to The Sims 3 Seasons is “Blueprint Mode”, which players can enter in build/buy. With this new feature, players can create or edit lots by easily placing down pre-made room layouts. Players can modify the finer details of designs, décor and furnishings after they are done placing their selected blueprints.

According to the Q&A our Sims can take their love lives virtual! 

I've posted official Origin Store Screenshots to the second post.  It looks amazing but I'm still not 100% sure how excited I am.

It looks great but it's not really striking me hard. I would have liked a new town though, but then I guess that AP would be a similar style to a Seasons World they didn't bother? Or they felt that MF would be sufficient for the time.

[Ricalynn]

Total speculation but if EA really wanted my money they would give us an updated version of SV for this & other expansions.

I'm so excited about this! it is wonderful news.

[Ricalynn]

Tommorrow's Supernatural Chat at 10:00 AM PST is also going to include a first look at The Sims 3 Seasons.

[Miriam]

I just looked at the Q&A with Ryan Vaughan, and I'm really excited! I'm especially excited about the new romantic interactions. (probably because of my hidden Hopeless Romantic trait. XD) And ooh, aliens.

I just got this email. and I died. OHMYGOD! I'm so excited. I can't wait!
