Content Pack
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Live a supernatural life with your Sims in a new world full of magic,
mystery and mischief! The Maxis Label of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:
EA) today announced that The Sims™ 3 Supernatural Expansion
Pack* for PC/Mac is in development and will launch worldwide in
September 2012. The latest offering from The Sims Studio allows
players to create and live out the lives of supernatural Sims like
werewolves, witches, vampires and fairies. Curse or charm your Sims'
lives with powerful spells, volatile elixirs and magical abilities in a
world of strange happenings, spooky surprises and even the occasional
zombie attack.
"With a variety of deep and mysterious supernatural lifestyles to choose
from, The Sims 3 Supernatural allows players to dive into
powerful new gameplay that showcases a darker side of The Sims,"
says Scott Evans, General Manager of The Sims Studio. "This pack
introduces a fresh perspective while maintaining the characteristic
playfulness, humor and innovation of our studio. With The Sims 3
Supernatural, we are adding a wealth of rich creative possibilities,
surprising new content and intriguing storylines to the world of The
Sims 3."
The Sims 3 Supernatural gives players the new ability to create
werewolves, fairies, witches and more intriguing vampires directly in
the Create A Sim tool, customizing characteristics that range from the
hairiness of a werewolf's body to the shape of a fairy's wings.
While playing as supernatural Sims, players will discover new abilities,
traits, skills and interactions that enhance their gameplay, including
delayed aging for fairies and vampires, innate magic channeling for
witches, and lycanthropy for werewolves, which enables them to control
their animal instincts and transform at will.
In The Sims 3 Supernatural, players also have the option to learn
magical crafts by casting spells and brewing elixirs that will charm or
hex their Sims' lives. These potent concoctions have a wide variety of
effects from career-boosting to weight loss and even zombification. The
zombification elixir will turn unsuspecting Sims into brain-hungry,
shuffling monsters that are driven to wreak havoc on the town. In
addition, players have the ability to share their brews with any friends
who have The Sims 3.
As players delve into the world of the supernatural and explore the
eerie new town of Moonlight Falls, they will uncover enchanted
objects and gothic décor, including a sliding bookcase that conceals a
hidden lair and a powerful mirror with magical interactions. Players may
also choose to embark on a new career path as a mystic fortune-teller or
build their skill to become an alchemic master. Meanwhile, the onset of
the mysterious lunar cycle will unveil strange revelations, secrets and
mysteries that will shake up the entire town.
As part of the integration between The Sims and PopCap's Plants
vs. Zombies™, those who pre-order The Sims 3 Supernatural
will receive a special Limited Edition version**, which features the
exclusive Plants vs. Zombies™ content pack. Players with this
limited edition content can ward off attacking zombies in their game
with the famous Pea Shooter from Plants vs. Zombies and dress
their Sims with classic zombie-themed attire for the ultimate
creepy-chic look.
The Sims 3 Supernatural is rated "T" for Teen and currently
available for pre-order online and across retailers in North America.
