Rosie from SimsNetwork (as her as her other half, ChEeTaH from The Sims Zone) were some of the lucky few who were able to attend GamesCom 2010 and to preview the latest games from EA.  The following preview is from their time with The Sims 3 Late Night.

New objects I think are worth the mention are the new musical instruments. I was so disappointed the base game didn’t have the piano anymore. But lucky for me, and everyone else who missed this item, the piano is back! There’s also a grand piano, keyboard, bass guitar and drums. All of these instruments come with new music tracks. All the musical instruments can be developed like other skills.

I spotted a lot of connecting sofas and chairs, like in Hot Date and Nightlife. Actually, some of the connecting sofas are exact replicas from the ones we’ve had in Nightlife. The hot tubs are back. There’s a really cool hot tub you can place in the ground. In the neighborhood, there are parking spots for food carts. Random food carts will appear, like a hot dog cart for example. I absolutely love this idea. Worth a mention are the arcade machines! Old skool!

There is a window like fish tank. Your Sims will be able to enjoy the nice view, but there is no need to feed the fishies. They won’t ever die! It’s too bad we weren’t allowed to take any pictures. I would have loved to show you this in the wall fish tank.
