8 screens of The Sims 3 on Console

Once again, ElectricPig provides us with 8 images as well as a short preview of The Sims 3 running on the Xbox 360.

The negative karma powers for Sims 3 on console are what are really fun though. These include poltergeists, whereby you can inflict a horde of roving ghosts on noisy neighbours, and watch them go all Yvette Fielding in Most Haunted (unless the Sim is an evil Sim, in which case they don’t care about ghosts). We watched a poltergeist steal a laptop from a teenage Sim, and sit down at the kitchen table playing peek a boo with it, while teenage Sim completely freaked out.

Another negative karma power for Sims 3 on console is the epic fail, which puts a hex on whomever you so choose, meaning they say the wrong thing, annoy everyone, romances fall apart, and they’ll also lose control of their bowels.

This new edition of Sims 3 for console brings extra controls over game play, which the PC game has, to the console for the first time, and adds creative features like the karma and challenges. It’s also going connected for the first time, and you’ll be able to hook Sims 3 on your console to the online exchange, Xbox Live or other console equivalent.
