The Sims 3 University??

I just finished watching the replay of The Sims 3 Seasons - Maxis Live Chat over on Origin as I unfortunately missed the live chat yesterday.

Just like a lot of other people, my first taste of The Sims was playing Sim City.  I remember playing this with my son on his Sega Mega Drive, I believe.  We had great fun building the city and watching the disasters as they struck.  When Maxis announced the new Sim City, I was very interested in how this would look, seeing as that computer graphics have come a long way since the original.  What did worry me was the feature of playing with others within the game.  I prefer to play alone, especially with my Sims.  However, when I heard on this chat that you have a choice of playing either with others or alone, seeing the gameplay and graphics, I'm now hooked, to say the least!

The Sims 3 Seasons looks fantastic in Moonlight Falls and now our Sims get to Woo-Hoo in leaf piles.....

Curtis done an awesome job asking questions on our behalf and I'm really looking forward to seeing his next video telling us about his trip.

Ryan Vaughan announced the new Sims magazine which unfortunately is only available on iPod and Android tablets so if you, like me, don't have these, you won't be able to get the magazine.  I for one would love to see a 'real' magazine that you can purchase off the shelf in stores.  I would certainly subscribe to that!

If you've seen this chat, you will have noticed that three 'guru's came on towards the end dressed in 70's, 80's and 90's clothes, giving the game away about the next stuff pack which is, yep, 70's, 80's and 90's clothing.  This is great news for us creators because it looks like there may be a few new meshes in there somewhere. There will also be lots of new hairstyles and clothing too.

After the announcement of the stuff pack by Sarah, Ryan recapped on the chat and then something weird happened.  Two people came on stage, one dressed in a cap and gown and the other dressed as some type of animal.  Ryan then told Lucy that maybe those guys belong back in University......

WHAT!!! UNIVERSITY!!!!!

I thought, OMG!!  Is this a hint of the next EP????

So I popped over to The Sims 3 website and found this:

The Sims 3 University

Okay, okay, it's just a 404 page but the page IS there.

I hope so - I just LOVED Uni for The Sims 2!!

Let me know what you guys think - just place your comments in the section below!
