Onet.Gry – Sims 3 Showtime Preview

 

Polish Site Onet.Gry has a short Sims 3 Showtime Preview! Nothing written is completely new, but it does cover what we already know in a bit more detail. Accidental fires while juggling torches and loss of voice are a few new details listed as well.

Sure, it added a functional Firehouse, but was their idea of an open business the “Buy Mode” Architect career? Does this mean there is no hope for open, functional, controllable businesses in Sims 3?
