SimGuruGraham – Two Part Sims 3 Community Blog
Graham Nardone, aka: SimGuruGraham, has posted a Two Part “Here’s to the New Year and more to come” blog entry. He goes over several aspects of the games, store and the Sims Studio. He even touches base on the Social Features and why they are being introduced.
Are the new connected features something the fans asked for?
We’re very proud of the options that we’ve been able to provide to better connect us to you and you to your friends within The Sims community. The Sims is a franchise that is based on player choice, and we give you the tools to play as you choose. While some of you may choose to enjoy your offline experience as you always have, some of you have asked to be able to play and share with your friends.
Through these features, players have the opportunity to post their Sims’ successes, share gameplay techniques, create wish lists and send gifts, search for new friends and share memories through their in-game news feeds and beyond. Even if you choose not to play with your friends or post on in-game walls, you can still benefit from online connected features. Using these functions, we are able to notify you and provide you with new challenges and achievements that will be rolled out on a regular basis. Again, it’s there if you want it, but of course, it’s all up to you.

SimCookie Presents The Sims 3 Parisian’s Life (World)

French Fansite SimCookie has announced their plans to release a brand new Sims 3 World on February 14th named Parisian’s Life! Check out a few details on the world below, as well as some SimsVIP exclusive screenshots! Once Valentine’s Day rolls around, we will remind you of the world’s release, and provide a download link!
For more information and photos, visit SimCookie.com.
This world was created by myself ie Greg SimCookie. With the participation of some of our friends webmasters. As I like to do things I’ve put together a small bag! Then waiting for the release here is the presentation of the characters that will be included with the world! And some pictures of the world!
Said goodbye to the caricature of the baguette and the beret, discover a whole new Paris, modern, enlightened and twice as romantic. This world is big enough you can live where you want. Of vacant lots were placed so that everyone can customize their own way to Paris. I also booked a block for future buildings in The Sims 3 Showtime (yes I did it in advance:).
