Snooty Sims Previews Pets!

 

So many Fansites & so much new info!  Snooty Sims was also a part of a Pets event and check out what they had to say about it!

 

I started a new Sunset valley neighborhood and not Appaloosa Plains,, deliberately to see if all Pets stuff is also available in another neighborhood. One thing I noticed is that I didn’t see any wild horses or strays. Perhaps that takes time to spawn just like celebs when starting a new Neighborhood. Or perhaps they’re all in the woods, but I didn’t want to spend too much time searching the whole neighborhood as time was limited.

Since I recieved the most questions about the horses, I first started up Create-a-Sim. You can’t make a family of just horses so first you need to make a Sim. To start up Create-a-Pet, just click on the ‘add a new sim or pet’ button and there you pick either a Sim, horse, cat or dog. Then the background changes into a stable where you start with your horse. In the first tab, you need to choose a first and last name and choose between male or female. Also the age must be chosen here (adult or elder) In the second tab, you can pick a race. I counted 31 horse races.

In the next tab you choose the fur. You get a very versatile way to create everything you can come up with. You have several layers which each can get multiple colors. When you choose a layer, it’s just a small spot but you can strech it out over the horse where ever you want it to go. I must say that this is much more complicated then what you’re used to with the Sims Create-a-Style. It’s really getting used to and I expect some really crazy designs when the game is just out.
I didn’t saw an option to use patterns though; just colors but perhaps I just missed it. Oh and I forgot to make a screenshot of the horses so here’s a cat instead.

Sims Nieuws Previews Sims 3 Pets!

 

Sims Nieuws has posted up their Preview of Sims 3 Pets!  Head over and check it out!
 

During the presentation there were already a lot of questions answered by simply looking at the demos they did, the PC demo, there were some technical problems (crash), but they were quickly resolved. Because of this, we first see the splash screen also received, it is a light bluescreen with different animal footprints.

But as to start the animations in the demo we saw were amazing, EA has spent a lot of time studying the movements of animals, and these are very well absorbed in the game, we both looked amazed. The little details, like the wobble of a tail or a leg movement makes the game very realistic eyes. Nicole Jenkins began by showing a female Sim who rode horses, after some difficult movements, she was finally on the beard, and the two began to drive. On the lot, which is very much a farm road, was a racing track for the horse. And of course the producer showed how it was jumping into his operation, again a beautiful animation, and fun to watch. Especially when your Sim is wrong for the first time to the seat or back of your horse goes down, your sim should really learn how he / she must learn to prepare a horse. This will not just happen by itself! Appaloosa Plains run into a lot of wild horses, which in itself should find out if you catch them or not. Nicole Jenkins did not quite sure anymore.
