With The Sims 3 being the first full new Sims game for four years, Maxis has said it's intent on taking risks to push the series forward.
One such risk is the introduction of an open world environment, which allows you to explore the town with your Sims rather than being constrained to the previous game's home 'lots'.
This might not be to everyone's taste though, according to MJ Chun, associate producer at The Sims Division.
With an expensive backlog of DLC that it struggles to run on modern hardware, The Sims 3 deserves revisiting.
They all deserve a remaster, alongside the Sims City games. Sims 3 in particular should be looked at more only cause of how hot it makes PC's.
A voice actor for The Sims spoke about his experiences doing voice work for the game's fictional Simlish language, and how there was no dictionary for them
The Sims franchise has been a part of my life ever since the first game came out. It was one of two games I camped outside of a store for, the other one being Black & White.
Since it has the name "Sims" on the cover, it can't be a risk. It sounds like a nice progression for the series, though.
I'd be interested to see how they pull it off.

^ thats the only thing a sims fan needs to see for advertising ,,..and this game will sell like hotcakes regardless of what they do to it
Especially with the press eating up something as minor as a doubt like this. Actually, it's a good way to grab headlines to market a feature you actually want people to be aware of. I just hope Sony is taking notes, and learns that they could use the media's desire for bad news to their advantage.
