The Sims 3 Diesel Stuff Box Art

Nick — Fri, 11 May 2012 20:50:22 +0000

This Stuff pack box art looks great! It’s definitely got a sleeker design that any of the other display images I have seen from The Sims 3. They are doing a better job with the content that they claim we will receive, but I am having thought that they are coming to a close with The Sims 3 and could be moving onto The Sims 4 within the next few years..but I’m just speculating, who knows?! Back to topic, The Sims 3 Diesel Stuff box art looks great in my opinion, what do you think about it?

Our friends over at SimSecrets compiled an awesome collection of real Diesel items (most are clothing) and have compared them with the Sims 3 Diesel Stuff renders so we can check out what we will be coming across when we purchase the game. I’m really liking the looks of what we can see here, it’s great to see more than 10 items in a stuff pack! Enjoy the images.

The Sims 3 Weather – Rain Coming Soon?

Nick — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:22:30 +0000

I recently came across some fan reported rumours of a new expansion pack as a new category was found on The Official Sims 3 Store! As you can see in the screenshot below, a new category called ‘rain’ has been found – does this mean we can be expecting the weather expansion pack which we have all been waiting for? If so, different categories and outfits for different weather could be really interesting – if not getting a bit strange..still, if it is a real slip up by EA and we will be seeing weather as a new expansion, I’m going to be happy. So, do you want weather in your game?
