Kotaku reported earlier (thanks InfiniteSims for the link) of their in-depth preview on The Sims 3 World Adventures.  They have much to say, sharing some information that we’ve already known, and some that may be new to us. Here’s an excerpt from their article:

Now You Can Go Inside Stores: Finally! I hated sending my Sims off to shop and having to stare at the outsides of buildings for forever like I was playing a real-time strategy game and waiting for the battle to end. Naturally, the game also lets you build your own stores and fill it with whatever kind of junk you want to sell.

Now You Can Be a Real Hobo! The game introduces tents that you can pitch in tombs – or in public parks – and actually gain Energy from sleeping in. Oh, the possibilities.

Your Own Private IslandDungeon: Via a code entered in buy mode, World Adventures opens up the editing tools to include pretty much everything the developer can build in a tomb or a ruin site. You can build an entire deathtrap from the ground up just the same as you would a house (only, you know, filled with mummies and fire traps and stuff) and then upload it to the Sims 3 community site to inflict on others.

Hmmmm, the ability to be a hobo…man I wish we had this option available for the Alice and Kev story (speaking of which, published a tragic piece to the story the other day).  I can’t imagine what kind of personal dungeon basements were going to see.  As for the stores…I don’t know – this sounds like it’s going to open up rabbit holes in Sunset Valley, but I think there are only speaking of the various stores in the 3 destinations.  After all, it is EA…keep your expectations low 🙂
