The Sims 3: Generations, the fourth expansion pack for The Sims 3, is gearing up for launch on May 31. This week EA have kindly released more information and screenshots to give us a better idea of what to expect. In Generations each life phase has a theme; children will have the opportunity to indulge in make-believe, teenagers are given the chance to be rebellious whereas Adults and Elders will focus on their relationships with one another.
Adults
Your Adult Sims can look forward to the following additions: Bachelor and Hen Parties, Romantic Reputations (ahem), Weddings and Marriage additions (among other things Sims will receive the wish to WooHoo with their spouse more often… unlike in real life), Day Care and the Nurturing Trait, Midlife Crisis (Sims who don’t have the time to deal with a Midlife Crisis can opt for Therapy at the local hospital), Body Hair, and Video Camera.
Young Sims
Some newborn Sims will receive special toys in the mail. When one of these children becomes a toddler, they can play with, sing to, and name their toy, building a strong relationship with this special ‘friend’. As the young Sim grows, their special friend grows along with them and has the change of developing the ability to turn into a life-sized imaginary friend—but only its owner can see and interact with it.
Young Sims are given many more opportunities to enjoy the best years of their lives. From the Options menu, you will be able to adjust your Sim’s overall lifespan, which will in turn lengthen (or decrease) each of their life stages. On the other hand, if you’re not that fond of kids you can pack them off to boarding school! Parents must pay for the privilege of prestigious schooling but their children will gain advantages in different skills and develop certain traits, depending on the school selected.
More information and screenshots as we get ‘em!
