What’s that? My fingers are not crossed. I swear!… Often. XD
Katy Perry became the first artist in history to spend 52 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Perry’s Teenage Dream produced five #1 hits, an accomplishment equal only to Michael Jackson’s Bad album and making her the only female artist in history to achieve this feat.
Katy Perry will work closely with The Sims Studio to create accessories, clothing, hairstyles, furniture and props in The Sims games that truly celebrate the imagination that she brings to her performances, music videos and life. Katy Perry will also be featured throughout The Sims television advertising campaigns, online communications and retail marketing around the world.

Uhm. Sounds like they desperately needed a new marketing campaign and angle… maybe since the sims 3 series has a lot of upset fans.
I love Katy, and she is the perfect person to promote the Sims.
Well this isn’t going to help! Katy Perry is seen by many as a young girls pop star. It will alienate the male players (especially older men). It cheapens the franchise, and places marketing above gameplay.
What will restore balance again (if that is even possible now – the franchise is on a downslide) is if EA fix ALL the bugs, drop the store prices permanently to a quater of what they are now and bring out the EPs/SPs that fans actually want.
However, I fear it is too late to be saved and The Sims 4 (if and when it comes out) will flop – badly.
Geez, even when Drew Carey appeared in Sims 1, he didn’t have his face plastered all over the front of the game. This is pathetic. Guess she needs all the money she can get since old Brand canned her.
There’re so many better artist than Katy… why chose her? She’s so damn untalented. She doesn’t dance, her songs are ok but nothing special or inspiring, her guitar skills are averange, her production is crap, and her voice is completly arranged with computer software, while live she’s the worst among all the new singers (even worst than Kesha, I swear).
I just can’t see why she’s so popular if she’s no near to a talented person.
At least if they’d put Gaga, you can love her or hate her, but she’s talented.
