The Sims 3 : World Adventure

It didn't take long for Electronic Arts to produce its first expansion pack for its third people sim game The Sims 3. Today the publisher gave the first details on The Sims 3 World Adventures which will ship to stores on November 18,2009.

While the core game is set in an all-American neighborhood, the World Adventures expansion pack sends your Sims on a global trip to see new sights. They will explore new (fictional) cities in ew cities in China, France, and Egypt. Along the way they can learn new skills and take part in various adventures to look for secret treasures. The expansion pack also comes with 1,000 SimPoints to use to download new content and exclusive downloadable content for the expansions will be revealed at a later date.

"The expansion pack focuses on travelling to various areas in a manner similar to previous expansions The Sims: Vacation and The Sims 2: Bon Voyage. Sims are able to travel to simplified versions of France, China and Egypt. At these locations, sims are able to participate in adventures to earn rewards and benefits. Sims are also able to level up in three new skills; Photography, Martial Arts and Nectar Making. In addition the game provides new objects, socials, wishes and opportunities."(wikipedia)
