Fansites covering news & info about The Sims 3 World Adventures (updated 10/22/09)

judhudson · October 2009

I'm a fair guy, and believe things should...well be balanced normally between all fansites. I really don't mean to be taking a stab at anyone in particular, but would like to point out the proper sources of the various news coming out for The Sims 3 World Adventures. So let me get to work

I agree. People are getting too angry about stuff like this. I thanked SimOperations becuase of some work they did and it seems to have sparked a giant arguement.... Sorry all involved! It was just a thanks....

Wow, now that's a ton of news! As Bulmung and Blazerdz said this is awesome, thanks very much for taking the time to compile a list this huge Judson! And thanks too for the list of Fansites that are covering Sims 3 news and events, a few of those I didn't know existed and it's really nice to have them all together in a handy list

Details
InteriorThe Sims 3: World Adventures is the very first expansion pack for the blockbusters Sims 3 – and the very first time Sims has ever left their towns to travel the world. See the pyramids of Egypt! The mystical temples of China! The grand chateaus of France! Our guide helps you get the most out of travels by showing you all the sights, how to master the new skills, and full-color maps of dangerous underground tombs.

We include a Sims 3 Primer right off the bat to catch new players up with not just the basics of the game, but also expert tips and tricks for maximizing skills and earning great career promotions. The World Travel and New Simology chapters detail what’s new in World Adventures, from the new quest-like adventures you take while traveling to the brand-new skills learned while visiting foreign lands. Before going into each destination, Tombs 101 teaches players the essentials of surviving the underworld mazes they must explore on their adventures if they want to collect cool relics.

Tour guides for Egypt, France, and China detail everything you need to know for getting around at that destination, such as shop inventories and the location of important sites. Each tour also offers maps of every tomb and a full list of all adventures so you know what’s in store for your Sims.

Sims love to collect stuff, and so our new Object List shows off all of the new decorations, furniture, and appliances you can place in your Sims’ houses – including their vacation houses they can buy in Egypt, France, and China!

Thanks for repeating these links - I'm not saying yours is better than others - but it seems to me that more than half of your links also point to your site - which then lists the original posting site, the same thing others have been accusing another party for doing.

I appreciate the news anywhere I get it - I also appreciate Connor - since his was the first I saw actually updating here with the information on a timely basis, and listing the original site as well.

so thumbs up for everyone.. lol

judhudson · October 2009

Indeed. Not mean to be self promoting by any means...But on those posts I did not link to the site's actual article - just the front page (which if I would of linked here, people would wonder "Where's the news?")...so I lost the "correct" link in the process otherwise I would of posted them instead and leave only the stories I broke

But I've recently been trying to link to the actual article for future references

It's a much smarter and easier way of handling things!

yanti68 · October 2009
