So they're finally making a console Sim game that isn't some weird cheap spinoff?

Coming from EA though this is bad news, they'll go crazy with DLC.

Ugh, I look forward to shelling out money for a game that doesn't run as smoothly, has some features you have to work at to unlock and is crippled from lack of mouse control. Yeah, no. The last Sim title I played on a console was Sim City for the SNES.

I remember playing them on console before and it was so bad...

I hope they have totally rehauled the control system

I have enjoyed all of the console versions so far, but with how the messed up sims 3 on the computer I doubt they will do anything good for the systems. get ready for barley any stuff and the rest is all dlc.

I hope that's a screen of the DS/Wii version (they'll be the same, snark, snark).

Anyway, hope this is good, Sims 3 is a fun experience on the PC.

Sims 3 was a pile of shite though, I was a big fan of the previous sims games but seriously Sims 3 sucks donkey balls.

I fail to see how a game like that will work without the use of a mouse either.

I'm happy about this... now me and my cousin will be able to play sims 3... my computer can't run it. I'll be getting the 360 version (because my cousin owns a 360) I imagine that you'll create your houses and invite your real mates over for a laugh... could be fun.

Doesn't the PS3 already have a really poor version of the sims... called PSHome?.

Oh God no!
TELL ME THAT STUPID LOOKING GAME ISN'T REAL!
Ho yeah that game is real... I used to own it. Not bad if your on two players and drunk. When sober and alone... a nightmare.

Big fan of the Sims, including the Sims 3 (I don't really understand the hate thrown toward it from fans of the Sims franchise, but the thing about the Sims is it's a different game for everyone who plays it; one person's bug is another person's feature).

Never have played the console Sims games, but this looks like it will be a fuller version than the older console spinoffs. Probably no version will be able to do as much as the PC version (if nothing else, user made mods make that endlessly variable), but looks pretty ambitious.

The 360 and PS3 versions are being designed with online functionality in mind
Allow me to translate that for you: "The 360 and PS3 versions will have their own version of the Sims 3 store with its ridiculously overpriced items, and we probably won't give them free purchasing points either like we do to registered PC players."

Hey, I like the Sims 3, but that doesn't blind me to EA's typical marketing games.

All Microsoft will need to do to get the Xbox to sell even more is to get an exclusivity deal on this and make it compatible with Natel. Imagine building houses etc by shaping it all with your hands instead of a controller.

if it sells more than PC&MAC versions, they may release sims 4 as a console exclusive.
now thats concerning.

God that screenshot sucks. I would only play a sims game on computer so I can use mods to take all of the tedious crap out (my Sims 2 comes complete with halved times for everything so I can actually have fun instead of just recreating a work/sleep routine), so I don't see how this would be that fun.

Gah! What's up with that screenshot? Either consoles are a hell of a lot weaker thn I remember or EA aren't bothering with fancy graphics?
That's from the iPhone/iPod Touch version, I'm sure the real game won't look like that.

I've never actually played a Sims games before. Maybe now I will. MAYBE.
Just curious, what interests you about this game. Is it the dollhouse aspect, or like having pet humans?
