New Game Collaboration Available This June — The Sims 3 Katy Perry's
Sweet Treats
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today announced that the next
collaborative project between The Sims™ and Katy Perry will be
available this June on PC/Mac. In The Sims™ 3 Katy Perry's Sweet
Treats*, players can sweeten up their Sims' lives with Katy
Perry-inspired, candylicious items that will enhance their game
experience such as décor, furniture, objects and of course, fashions and
hairstyles. Players will sink their sweet tooth into all new in-game
goodies and turn the homes and neighborhoods of their Sims into a
whimsical Candyfornia™, complete with cupcake-themed guitars, candy
playground equipment and delicious cotton candy trees. Outfitting their
Sims in an array of new clothing and hairstyles, players will make their
Sims look good enough to eat! Three pre-built venues will help transform
the world for the Sims characters with a game packed full of Katy
Perry-inspired content.
"I'm delighted to bring you more with The Sims 3 Sweet
Treats," said Perry. "I love some of the accessories so much
that I am going to get some of them made in real life! It's one of my
small life goals to sit on a banana split couch."
Additionally, players will rock out to a Simlish version of Katy Perry's
hit song, ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F),' which she recorded for The
Sims 3 Katy Perry's Sweet Treats. Simlish is the official language
of The Sims.
Perry comments on singing the Simlish version of the track, saying,
"'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' is a really fun song to sing along to in
any language, so I thought why not in Simlish?"
In The Sims 3 Katy Perry's Sweet Treats, players can indulge
their Sims in an array of exciting and colorful items to turn their
surroundings into vibrant candytopias. From banana split sofas to lavish
fountains made of candy, and even a waffle cone picnic table, this game
really captures Katy Perry's spirit. New sugar-coated fashions and
hairstyles really sweeten this game. The fashions are straight from Katy
Perry's red carpet appearances, music videos and concert performances,
which have now been recreated for The Sims in a true to life way.
Even more delectable are the pre-built venues that are included. Players
can take their Sims for a dip amidst the sweet surroundings of Patty's
Natural Baths, an all-new pool venue, complete with bubble gum pink
lounge chairs and a licorice-themed slippy slide. They can stroll over
to the Bonbon Lawn Park where they'll find loads of fun-for-all-ages,
candy playground equipment. Players can also take their Sims to the Cake
Pleasure Dome, the town's charming local hangout, where even more tasty
sweet treats await.
The Sims 3 Katy Perry's Sweet Treats is rated "T" for Teen and
currently available for pre-order. Check out the official website at www.thesims.com/katyperry,
