[Bri]

While this world won't be sold until December 12, the Sims 3 store now has the page up for preview:


The Sims 3:  Roaring Heights

The Standard Bundle will be $20, while the Gold Edition will be $35.

Elevate your lifestyle to new heights
 
Welcome to a city where bold shapes, rich colors, and lavish looks rule the skyline! The residents of Roaring Heights are living in the fast lane in this booming place filled with striking skyscrapers and bustling beaches. Whether you’re content to hang out on the piers, work your way to the top, or host glamorous parties at home, there’s a place for every lifestyle. With endless opportunities at your front door, which new life will you choose in Roaring Heights?

The base game will come with the following premium content:

The Sky High Roller Coaster (separate link isn't available for the moment)




Classically Cool Fixer-Upper Car

She may not look like much right now, but a little elbow grease will go a long way. With some engine and body work, this classic car could have some potential.

If you get the Gold Edition, you could get a collection of outfits:
Boardwalk Attire

Enjoy a leisurely night out in a dapper outfit. Your Sims will love the classic style of these outfits that’ll look great anywhere they go! The Boardwalk Attire set is only available with the Roaring Heights Gold bundle.

There's....a...roller...coaster? I've always wanted a roller coaster in my game! This looks so cool! I'm no doubt buying!

Absolutely.  SimGuruCopeland also stated a person will be able to customize the roller coaster; it's not just one big set you plop down.  I imagine there will be some limitations, but currently the pictures do show a loop-de-loop.

I'm a little bummed it's one you have to buy with cash, I just bought a ton of Sim Points already. Hmmm...

Of course I'll get it, duh.

I like the double meaning in the name.  Looking at the screenshots so far, the clothes definatly look like they came from the Roaring 20s.

Well, maybe THEY think it's 20's but I LIVED through the forties and they are definitely 40's styles.  Except for some of the hair styles.  But those long dresses with the gloves?  My mom had one pretty close to that.  I've a picture of her in it sitting on my mantle right now.

That guy fixing up his car is definitely in 20's gear and the shorter dresses look 20's.  I rather miss Coney Island.  The boardwalk there was always fun and the Coney Dogs can't be beat.  (Well, at first anyway.  Until the indigestion hits. )

I was seriously bummed out when I read it won't be available till December!  I was ready to plunk my money down and go have fun with it.

I checked out the new Classically Cool Fixer-Upper Car and you can WooHoo in it (Try for a Baby)! There's also a radio and you can wax it and you can work on the car engine and body.

Looking through the rest of the items (Roaring Heights) it looks like there's going to be a new skylight, a bunch of new hairstyles and some of the new skyscraper rabbitholes are very cool indeed.

I wonder how those roller coasters will work, whether you can build your own tracks or if you're stuck with what they give you. Either would be fine, but the former would be an awesome way to relive my childhood and the endless hours I invested in Roller Coaster Tycoon. I can dream.

Lol, you and me both Trip

I love the fixer upper car, that was one of the features I loved in sims2, and now my vehicle enthusiasts can have their own garage where they play with their own car - sweet! Also, love the fact you can now woho it a car - the only way that would be even better was if teens could make out in one

[DanBrunetu]

Too bad that only this classy car has the new interactions. It might be fabolous to have all these features on all the game cars...

[KRae]

It looks like new, better clothes for elders, too. Oh, and high-rises like in Bridgeport but more art deco. I like the look of it.

[Seabody]

It's got that Great Gatsby vibe to it.

I like it already. Especially the rollercoasters, and the fixer-upper cars.

Hmm, I haven't play properly and explore everything about the worlds that I have and now another one just comes out again... ? This looks exciting and fun! I love the theme park. But, sometimes I feel that it’s not fair that expansion pack didn't come with such delicious update like this

Nevertheless! This shall be on my list, but not so soon

[Eldridge]

This looks fun! This looks like Sim Theme Park, a game that I played before. I need to spend on my allowance though; I wish that my sister will help me to get this. But, she has her own priority so maybe not so soon… But, a new addition to game never hurt anyway, just look at the new animation, new poses, and new interaction. I could die happily from just from taking screenshots XD

SimGuruCopeland has a picture of the Roller Coaster parts on his twitter account

[Schipperke]

Wow, those roller coaster pieces look amazing!  Thank you so much for sharing that, Bri.
