Let the fur fly! Will you have a pet or be a pet? Now you can
play both ways as pets are Sims too! Electronic Arts Inc.
(NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced The Sims™ 3 Pets is now available in
North America on PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system, Xbox
360® video game and entertainment system, Nintendo 3DS™ and as an
Expansion Pack on the PC/ Mac*. Developed by the award-winning team
at The Sims Studio, The Sims 3 Pets gives players the ability to
play as a pet for the first time in franchise history and see The
Sims world through their eyes.
Across all platforms, players will be able to use the robust
Create a Pet tool to customize dozens of breeds of cats and dogs.
On the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC/Mac, players are able to
design their pet from their coats, colors and body shapes, and even
down to their snouts and age. Players can also choose from a
variety of unique personality traits such as friendly, hyper,
clueless and piggy, offering limitless opportunities for fans to
create the pets of their dreams or nightmares.
“Pets have always been the top requested theme from our players,
and we are delivering a deep, rich experience in The Sims 3 Pets
for our fans to enjoy,” said Scott Evans, General Manager of The
Sims Studio. “From the moment a player starts the game, they’ll
revel in the opportunities to recreate their childhood pet, train
their dog to be the most desirable or despicable animal in the
neighborhood, share their favorite pet on The Sims 3 Exchange or
witness the special lasting relationships their Sims build with
their pets. The Sims 3 Pets is about the moments that are unique to
the player who lives them.”
The Sims 3 Pets also features gameplay experiences specific to
each platform. Exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, players
will explore all new venues and embark on mysteries in the New
England-style town of Sugar Maple Coast. Karma Powers return to the
console games and give players the ability to bestow wealth on
their Sim or completely uproot their lives. New Karma Powers
include: Transmogrify that allows a Sim, cat or dog to turn into a
different species; Meteor Strike that drops space rocks from the
sky; Feral Possession which turns players’ pets into furry terrors;
and more. Exclusive to the Xbox 360, players who are Kinect-enabled
can use voice commands to quickly jump between areas of Create a
Sim and live mode to change outfits, fulfill the needs of both
their Sims and pets and more.
In The Sims 3 Pets PC/Mac Expansion Pack, players are able to
create and adopt dogs, cats and, another first for the franchise,
horses. Fans are able to take their Sims and their pets on wild
adventures while exploring the new world with animal-specific
venues and environments such as the dog park, cat jungle or horse
stables. Another exclusive to the PC/Mac version, players will be
able to search through their world for the elusive unicorn. The
magical unicorn can be added to a player’s household after they’ve
built up the relationship enough. Unicorns offer fun opportunities
to play with life by being able to bless other Sims, teleport
around the world and even spark fires. Other minor pets that Sims
can own and interact with, but are not fully controllable, include
birds, rodents, lizards, turtles and snakes.
Unique to the Nintendo 3DS version of The Sims 3 Pets, players
can now create, customize and control a household full of pets
without any human Sims. In addition, players will be able to save
up to three separate games, each with its own household of three
playable Sims. Through gameplay, players can add a fourth member to
their household. The Sims 3 Pets on Nintendo 3DS lets fans use Play
Coins collected from the Nintendo’s 3DS pedometer feature to spend
as Karma Power points. Additionally, players will be able to use
Nintendo’s StreetPass™ function to share their Sims and pets with
other Nintendo 3DS users in near vicinity.
