Gamesradar over De Sims 3 Levensweg

De Engelstalige Gamesradar heeft een kort artikel online gezet over De Sims 3 Levensweg: iets nieuws staat er niet in maar er zijn wel 2 nieuwe screens.

One of the more in-depth features is the opportunity to send teens to boarding school. Obviously this will be an opportunity for them to learn and enhance specific traits. Much of it depends on which school the player sends them to, whether it’s the expensive Smuggsworth Prep School or the School of Peace and Love, along with three other educational options. It’s a great test in commitment since the parents won’t be able to see their teen for a while, but at least they know she’s getting a good education. Aside from getting progress updates, players can also call their teen to see how she’s doing. For those who really can’t stand the separation, you can remove them and bring them back home.

De Sims 3 Levensweg – Feature info #1 nu online (Engels)

Simprograms meld dat EA in de komende weken verschillende e-mails gaat sturen genaamd ‘Feature info’ waarin informatie staat over De Sims 3 Levensweg. De bekende onderwerpen zoals kinderopvang, speciale scholen, tieners en meer komen aan bod.

Bij de e-mail zaten drie nieuwe, kleine en een beetje mindere kwaliteit screenshots. We zullen het melden als er een nieuwe ‘Feature info’ is. Of er een Nederlandse vertaling komt is nog niet bekend, wij zullen EA Nederland hier naar vragen.

The Best Years of Their Lives

Do you love your awkward teen Sims soooooo much? Or wish that your little Sims didn’t grow up so fast? Well, now you can have your wish. From the Options menu, you can adjust your Sim’s overall lifespan, which will in turn lengthen (or decrease!) each of their life stages. Or you can simply adjust an individual life stage. And don’t worry—if you decide that you’ve given them too much of a good thing, you can always return to the default settings.

Tip: To get the most gameplay throughout your Sim’s lifespan, try increasing the length of the Child and Teen life stages.

A Lesson in Boarding Schools

Packing young Sims off to boarding school is one cool new option in The Sims 3 Generations. Going away to school is a great way to enrich a child’s life and ensure that they grow up well. But it doesn’t come free—parents must pay for the privilege of prestigious schooling. However, if parents are willing to part with their Simoleons—and their children—their young scholars will gain advantages in different skills and develop certain traits, depending on the school selected.
