We know that ‘The Sims 3’ is slated to come to consoles and handhelds as EA CEO John Riccitiello mentioned it in the fiscal report back in early February.  Yet it hasn’t been confirmed to what they’ll appear on.  The Nintendo DS is a safe bet now as a folder was spotted titled ‘Sims 3 DS’ during Richard Evans’ powerpoint presentation about “Modeling individual personalities in The Sims 3.”

Richard Evans is an AI Specialist working at EA/Maxis on the Sims franchise, so it would make sense that he had some unreleased materials floating around his computer. As he was preparing his laptop (while plugged into the audience facing screens) the entire room got a look at the folder shortcuts on his personal machine.

While he was loading his PowerPoint slides, I was frantically reading folder names to try and see anything interesting. Well, there was. A folder entitled “Sims 3 DS” was nestled in between a few nondescript folders (SimpleSocializing and Tester).
