Sims 3 Fanatics

S3N recently reported on some more news regarding the next Sims 3 Expansion Pack. At first, we heard some rumours of The Sims 3 Hobbies & Professions however, recently the name has changed to The Sims 3: Ambitions, I don’t know which sounds better, I don’t know if it really matters, but as S3N is a Dutch site, it could just be a different translation. Sims 3 expansion pack names are often changed from country to country in order to make sense but when translated all to one language, they’re different. So I’ll keep you updated but The Sims 3 Hobbies & Professions sounds more like EA than The Sims 3: Ambitions in my opinion.

Sims 3 fans are starting to run riot, within the last few days, two expansion pack covers have been uncovered but later proved fake. One for The Sims 3 Hobbies & Professions (which is a hopeful next expansion pack) and another for The Sims 3 Spellbound (just made up). They do look quite good but have their let-downs. Check them out, click the thumbnail for more detail.

This sounds good! Recently, we have heard rumours regarding The Sims 3 Hobbies & Professions being the next Expansion Pack for The Sims 3. This has always sounded like a fun idea but I just thought it would stay a rumour and would get proved wrong sooner or later. It’s still not certain, but Take 2 has recently added a listing for The Sims 3 Hobbies & Professions which could give more evidence to say that it’s coming. Obviously, if it is the next EP, the name is liable to change and release date is uncertain, however, the listing says that it will be released on June 4th 2010.

CinemaBlend has recently published a pretty awesome article on their top five ideas for the next The Sims 3 Expansion Pack. Their ideas sound pretty nice and are well explained, I highly recommend you reading them. Let me know your thoughts on their ideas!

With a game like The Sims there are seemingly endless ways in which you can engage your Sims in various time-filling (or time-sucking, if you’re going by the player’s perspective) ways, however it’s the expansion packs that often introduce new interactions, jobs and activities that are game-changing enough to keep the game fresh and keep those of us who love to play house with hour Sim-families busy for hours and hours.

Since the release of The Sims 3 last June, there’s already been one expansion pack released. World Adventures allows Sims to travel to three different countries, do adventures, acquire new skills and meet new people. They can even learn local songs and come home with an inventory full of treasure. So what’s next for The Sims 3? We got the High End Loft Stuff Pack, but stuff packs are just stuff. Not exactly game changing.

There has been a little rumour going around lately that the next Sims 3 Expansion Pack is going to be something along the line of “The Sims 3 Hobbies and Professions” it’s not yet totally confirmed but S3N found a message on the official Sims 3 Forums with some interesting stuff. Somebody stated the following (roughly translated):

I know someone who works at Bart Smith who told me yesterday that the new release list had been inside, and there was a new sims 3 in expansion: The Sims 3 Hobbies and Professions. If all goes well it comes out on June 4, exactly one year later that the sims 3 released.

So does this mean that the next Sims 3 Expansion pack is going to be The Sims 3 Hobbies and Professions? It’s likely that the name will be changed and it may even be removed completely but we’re never sure. I will keep you all updated, this could be quite a fun Expansion Pack.

I wish they would stop changing the name, it’s just getting slightly confusing now :P Just found a new HD cover for The Sims 3 High End Loft Stuff (or whatever you know it as) – can’t wait to see the game which will be coming out some time in February.

Ok, this is getting slightly ridiculous. So far we’ve had the following: High End Stuff, Modern Loft Stuff, Design & Hi-Tech Stuff, High End Loft Stuff and now what do they do? Make a mixture of two and EA plan to name the first Sims 3 stuff pack The Sims 3 Design & High Tech High End Loft Stuff.. InfiniteSims found the new logo but nothing has yet been confirmed. I just wish the could confirm it one day and stop leaving us with these ridiculous names! Oh well, I hope it’s going to be good.

Hey guys! Haven’t had much to talk about with you all for the last few days – anyway, just got hold of a high resolution box cover and logo for the German version of The Sims 3 High End Loft Stuff and wanted to share it with you all! Oh and I have been slightly slow recently and have not created a ‘High End Loft Stuff’ or a ‘Create-A-World Tool’ page yet so I will get to it as soon as possible.

Check back later for when they are done!
