10 interesting screenshots from the E3 Press Conference - NOW WITH 18+ MORE screenshots! «12...Next Go

Cogitotoro

10 things I found interesting in today's E3 EA Press Conference, handily numbered for your reference! Whaddya think?

(Additional screenshots, from other new trailers, are in the thread to follow)

(Don't yell at me if some of these things have already been talked about on the forum. Like this forum is easily searchable, right?)

1 & 2) What are those things over their heads? Looks like a mix of traits, wishes, aspirations, and I don't know what all else (I'm guessing "Pancakes" isn't a trait (favorite food? But then, what about "Edibles"?). Will they really get as specific as "Foodie Hipster"? And, um, "Did you" connected to "Angry"? What's that all about?). How do these things interact with each other and with the ones connected to other Sims? I'm guessing this is just for display purposes rather than reflecting something you'd see during gameplay, but still, interesting.




3) How are these things all connected together, generated, or whatever? Looks intriguing.



4) Drinking and chatting! Yay!



5) Lots of accessories! I hope with lots of color options, cause those earrings, dang.



6) Decor on dining room table! Maybe they can eat around it.



7) Bars/counters set up like this!



8 & 9) The Exchange in-game! Love the information and comments sections available.
ETA: Check out the "rooms" category! YESSS. And the multiple poses of uploaded Sims!

10) No, not death by laughter. Too obvious.
Multi-colored hair (somehow), those cool-but-do-they-always-have-to-be-full-sleeve tattoos, and more accessories, including rings and bracelets over gloves.
ETA: MadameLee points out, on both hands/wrists!

Wow this is great to look at in-depth! I appreciate you screenshotting these images and putting them up on here as they went by extremely fast when they were being presented.

No problem!

such great stuff, ive been wanting a better look at those first two screens - thanks so much for sharing!

it does seem traits, feelings, likes are all mentioned. i hope tomorrow they add more details.

and whats with the wrestling mania group it also makes me wonder if sims can be in groups/ clicks

MadameLee

Does that mean we get to have bracklets for both wrists? (I hope we can get bracelets for ankles too)

mystidyse

the "exchange in" is probably my favorite thing so far besides building! and maybe the only thing i liked about the conference. No longer do we have to step out of the game to make changes! I'm sure there were other things i was excited about i just felt a tad disappointed in the length of the trailer.

Looks like! A watch on one wrist and a bracelet on the other (*dreamy sigh*)....

Will we be able to sort our content? That's fantastic news! I can't tell you how many times I wished for that feature in Sims 3! :P

Ha Ha I see Ollie and Andre made it to the exchange.

Cogitotoro

I just realized, the Sims on the Exchange shown are in all kinds of poses! That's cool.

catloverplayer

I'm going to have to put Stacy in my game as well.

Cogitotoro

Also just realized - there will be a ROOMS category on the Exchange! How frickin completely awesome is that? I have so often wished I could download or upload a greenhouse, pool (don't start with that issue), kitchen, playroom, barn...

So cool!!!!

AND this means we can save rooms, so if you've got your perfect bathroom that you're going to want to put in practically every house, or some rooms you want to make into a house on a smaller lot, you could do that!

I'm going to add screenshots of a couple of other things I've noticed since I posted this, just in case anybody's interested:

We've seen thought bubbles (which are, I think, strangely more attractive than TS3 thought bubbles) and stars around heads (ditto), but NO speech bubbles (not that I've seen anyway). Have they just not been added yet or will there not be any?

Edit: typo

The flowers look so pretty! People were worried about plasticky flowers. Mixed colors, too! (Sorry they're blurry)

How perceptive, dear Watson. yeah, thanks for pointing that out, were they turned off for the demo or are they not in the game? (speech bubbles) I haven't seen them at all in any demo come to think of it. But it's been a long day, maybe they were in the Bella/Morty video.

Bonus: grim reaper!

Nope, I do too. And Sims, oddly, are using little journal type books. The guy who reads poetry reads it out of a little book, and somebody at the party is looking at one too.

I do like how his tablet is like aged and dusty looking, . "Tablet of Eternity".

HeyHeyy

thank you for the screenshots!

-i love that they can chat while they hav drinks & keep sitting.

- pretty flowers!

-& the grim reaper. i always think he's funny. he's always like these dang sims cant stay outta trouble lol.

Cogitotoro

Oh, and from the other new trailer - they drink coffee with breakfast! I can't tell you how much more realistic that makes breakfast look to me. AND they might be serving the food from the center of the table and all helping themselves to it from there. Love that.

In the photo of the Gallery, it shows a Sort By option on the left side of the screen. I'll see if I can find the photo . . .

Here it is:
