Want more insight on Generations? GamePlanet interviewed producer Ryan Vaughan to bring you just that! Fans that were still counting on weather being a part of this pack, it’s time to drop your hopes – he pretty much walked around the question which is their way of basically telling us ‘No’.
GP: Many fans have been hoping for seasonal/weather effects and pets for the next Sims expansion. Will these be included in Generations? If not, why not?
Vaughan: The Sims 3 Generations focuses on the Sims themselves; who they are and how they interact with each other at different ages. For example, we really wanted the Child age of Sims to be about imagination and make believe; the things that are going on inside their mind, and not necessarily the outside world. Each life phase is defined by how Sims are feeling internally.
GP: Can you describe the celebrations and their function, are they more than “something to do”? Will there be any seasonal celebrations such as Halloween?
Vaughan: There are four new celebration types: Graduation Parties, Teen Parties, Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties, and new Wedding Ceremonies. Each new party type has tons of fun new interactions as well as some hilarious new functionality. You never know what might happen at a Teen or Bachelorette party!
Romantic reputations, day care profession!
2 new traits: nurturing and rebellious!!! beside everything else we already know!!!
O_o I’m sooo buying this XD XD XD
That was kind of a lame duck interview. He didn’t really answer anything, just kept mentioning the parties.
No weather at all? Well, this simplifies matters for me. Hello, Alice: Madness Returns, goodbye all things TS3. Call me when you finally have weather.
I’ll give Gameplanet props for trying a different tack at getting him to answer lol.
