Many see The Sims Medieval to be a waste of time, I on the other hand will more than likely fall into the small number of folks who’ll pick up the game come release day (in March). The Sims Team is taking a huge risk with this game, and they are hoping that adding a bonus content will encourage users to pre-order the game come December 14th, when the official site re-launches with new content.
The Sims Medieval Limited Edition goes up for pre-order December 14 on the game’s official site (which also re-launches that day with more content). Score yourself a copy to get exclusive content like three themed throne rooms and two outfit sets. It’s a good deal for established Sims players because the Sims Medieval curbs your choices in decor and costumes to fit the medieval setting; it’s a good deal for newcomers because who doesn’t like freebies? Especially since there are no Sims Medieval DLC plans in the works just yet, according to Sims Medieval Executive Producer Rachel Bernstein.
“We have a few things up our sleeves for the future,” Bernstein told GamePro. “But for the launch of The Sims Medieval, there will not be content for purchase to download into the game.”
The Limited Edition content includes Barbarian, Dark Magic, and Princess throne room themes and a Monarch and Executioner costume set. To really nail the look of each piece of content, the Sims Medieval team went back to the drawing board from which they originally drew ideas for the base game: movies about medieval stuff.
See, white men CAN jump!
Wow I wan this game, it’s amazing, i LIKE THE GAME!!!
thinking and thinking about it… i think i’ll pass on this stand-alone. if they make another castaway style Sims 3 spin-off maybe i’ll go for it. but for now i’m not getting this.
i like the game, and will probably pick it up too, but im not ordering the limited edition… its not worth it.
to me it also depends on when next year this is released. if the third expansion is revealed to bring back weather/seasons and this comes out around the same time then the expansion comes first. this would be better to wait for until EA has a discount special a little while after it is released.
Not worth $50, if I get it at all it’ll be far after it’s been discounted. Honestly, I’d rather they work on Sims 3 and fixing bugs/adding content than making Stand Alone Sims games.
It sounds great, but I’d rather have all that stuff in Sims 3 proper. Oh well, hopefully some modder will rip the items into Sims 3 like they did with Castaway & Sims 2.
Though I like the medieval time period, I think I’ll pass on this one for now, wait till it’s discounted. Not sure it’s worth $50.
I don’t understand why they added a princess themed throne room added content if the sims in Medieval can’t have sim children…and if they can they stay children forever. That’s so dumb!
They can have children but the kids don’t age, which is stuuuupid.
