Op het officiële Amerikaanse De Sims 3 forum heeft SimGuruSnelson wat meer details gegeven over De Sims 3 Showtime.
In het artikel wordt ook uitgelegd dat veel van het delen van ervaringen met vrienden ingame gebeurt of via je Mijn Pagina op de officiële De Sims 3 site. De Sims Studio belooft ook dat het online delen met de nieuwe social tools veilig zal zijn en dat je deze social tools altijd kunt uitzetten.
We proberen het artikel zo snel mogelijk te vertalen.
I’m SimGuruSnelson, aka Sarah Emily Nelson, one of the producers on The Sims 3 Showtime development team. We are very excited to reveal the newest expansion pack this week and have been reading all the activity on the forums. Thank you for all of your comments and questions!
We want to address a few of your questions today, and next week we will follow up with our first in-depth interview with Senior Designer, Aaron Conners. He will delve into more details about the features in The Sims 3 Showtime and answer even more of your questions.
The Sims 3 Showtime provides new careers for your Sims – Singer, Acrobat and Magician. There’s also a fun new skill object, the DJ Booth, which allows your Sims to moonlight as a DJ while your Sim is on their fantastic climb to stardom. You’ll be able to tell all-new stories in the new town of Starlight Shores where your Sims will be able to interact with new neighbors and discover a world full of new houses, objects, venues and custom stages. We are also introducing new social tools and a new achievement system, which you are free to opt in or out of at any time.
One of the new features we’re excited about in The Sims 3 Showtime is the capability of in-game messaging, so that you can communicate with your Simmer friends while you’re playing. If you prefer not to have this connected experience, then it’s easy enough to turn off this messaging.
We’re also adding a new achievement system where players can take on special challenges and as they accomplish each achievement, they will be awarded badges that will be shown off on their new player profile page.
