AlalaSim’s restrictions have passed and they are now able to bring us all of the information they’ve brought back from their time spent in Sao Paulo, Brazil! Over 160 images were taken along with a nice detailed report which can be found here.
To start playing the Sims 3 World Adventures, you will need to choose a family, of course. Then you will have to click on your mobile phone and on “Travel” and you will need a visa. At the first moment, your visa ir for a three-days-long trip only. But, as long as you go traveling (and solving puzzles) more and more, your visa increases.
Still at the phone, you can choose which Sims will go on vacation with you, and which of them will stay (you can take them all with you if you want it). The “timing” system is the same as the expansions “Vacation” and “Bon Voyage”: the day, clock and hours, inside the house, do not “move”.
After choosing the Sims, the place of destiny, and paying for the trip, a taxi will stop by your place to get your Sims and them they will go to the chosen destiny. At this moment, a loading screen shows up (the only one actually).
At the new destiny, you will find a “basis”, a place where you can stay while you are there. In front of the basis, there is a panel with a few adventures suggestions that you can accomplish (but you can also be asked to do other adventures by other Sims). The adventures are not that difficult. They are actually simple puzzles where you will usually need to push/pull statues to a determined place, look at the walls to see if you can find any hidden/secret doors, dive into wells… Apparently, you will need only attention to solve the puzzles.
Yep… looks like “Super Star” will definitely be a future EP according to that video. Whether or not it will be the next EP is unknown, but I seriously do believe it will be a future EP. The EA Team said they knew that fans want that theme and were disappointed it never made it to Sims 2. Aside from pets and now weather, SS is probably the next most requested theme. Then would be magic. We’ll see!
I sure hope that there will be another “SuperStar” expansion, i was really annoyed when i heard that World Adventures is the first expansion 🙁 I have all the Sims & Sims 2 games, but World Adventures is one i am going to have to miss out on. EA have really dissapointed me 🙁
